Builtwins provides services which ensure that your building HVAC operates as designed, in the smartest possible way. We build upon technology that we developed within the Thermal Systems Simulation research group of KU Leuven over a period of 10 years. For each building, we create a building digital twin - hence the name BuilTwins - and optimise its performance. This methodology has been demonstrated extensively within the EU Horizon 2020 hybridGEOTABS project, a KU Leuven-funded C3 project and a VLAIO-funded spin-off mandate. We were nominated for the EU Innovation Radar within the category disruptive technology.

However, Builtwins is more than just technology. Our aim is to seamlessly integrate buildings within their surroundings, by complementing well-design buildings with model predictive control and robust monitoring, analysis and reporting, while also considering the interests of all stakeholders. This causes buildings to become flexible prosumers, providing services to local energy networks, maximising self-consumption of the electricity produced by photovoltaic panels and thus becoming an asset instead of a burden.
