Buildings account for over 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions — more than twice the amount produced by all transportation. Smart heating technology offers one of the most impactful and cost-effective ways to reduce these emissions.
The Scale of the Problem
Heating buildings is enormously energy-intensive. In northern climates, heating can represent 60-70% of a building's total energy consumption. Much of this energy is wasted through inefficient control — overheating, poor distribution, and inability to respond to changing conditions.
How Fourdeg Reduces Emissions
- Direct energy reduction: 20-35% less heating energy means proportionally fewer emissions
- Peak shaving: Reducing peak demand avoids activation of fossil backup plants
- Renewable integration: Flexible demand enables better use of renewable energy sources
- Building stock improvement: Smart heating improves the efficiency of existing buildings without expensive renovations
Impact at Scale
When deployed across a district heating network, Fourdeg's impact multiplies. Each connected building reduces its carbon footprint, and the network-level optimization through demand-side management further reduces the need for high-emission peak production.
Supporting Climate Targets
Fourdeg Smart Heating® helps property owners, municipalities, and energy companies meet their climate commitments. The technology provides measurable, verifiable emission reductions that can be reported in sustainability frameworks and carbon accounting.
"The greenest energy is the energy you don't use. Smart heating eliminates waste at the source — in every room, in every building."
