Challenge
We were tasked to come up with a solution to help private home-owners make their homes more sustainable. The assignment was given by a financial institution and an energy company, in a joint venture corporate innovation initiative.
Solution
Following extensive customer problem validation we build a solution prototype for a digital one-stop shop platform for homeowners to make their home more sustainable. The included energy advice, access to a network of trusted technical partners and financial support.
Results
With a development team (from a Digital Agency) we build a Minimum Viable Product with a smart home energy prediction algorithm we called “Essy”. During the commercial pilot Essy helped homeowners make serious sustainable investments to their homes.
