The Need for Smarter Cost Control
A New Approach to Urban Heat Economics
Fourdeg’s patented Demand-Side Response (DSR) and AI-powered controls help energy companies reduce production costs while increasing operational efficiency and sustainability.
District heating plays a vital role in future-ready cities — but traditional models face increasing cost and carbon pressure.
Fourdeg Smart Energy® enables energy companies to operate more flexibly, reducing peak loads, emissions, and backup generation costs
Shift from Reaction to Prediction
Our DSR technology controls when and how buildings consume heat — preheating off-peak, and adjusting in real-time.
This helps:
- Flatten demand peaks
- Avoid expensive fossil backup use
- Improve system-wide balance and energy utilization
The Virtual Thermal Battery: Buildings as Smart Heat Storage
At the core of our system is the Virtual Thermal Battery concept.
Each connected building acts as a heat storage node, with smart control determining when to charge and discharge based on demand.
This turns your network into a dynamic, distributed storage system — without tanks or new infrastructure.
AI-Driven Forecasting & Optimization
Fourdeg’s AI continuously analyzes:
- Weather conditions
- Usage patterns
- Building heat response profiles
With these insights, the system proactively adapts energy supply, reducing waste and improving cost-efficiency across the network.
Results You Can Count On
✔ Lower operational costs
✔ Fewer fossil-based backup activations
✔ Greater supply stability
✔ Smarter integration of renewable sources
✔ Reduced emissions
