What is YORD?
YORD is the solution that combines energy savings & comfort by intelligently managing heating systems to reduce energy consumption while ensuring a high level of user comfort. Developed with Swiss engineering precision, YORD adapts to all types of buildings and heating systems, making it ideal for communes, cantons, residential areas, and individual users alike. By regularly calibrating the thermal behavior of a building, YORD starts to deliver savings almost immediately, making heating systems smarter and optimizing their overall performance. The concept isn’t just technical; it answers an urgent energy challenge while providing a concrete tool for sustainability.
Main Benefits
YORD delivers various key figures and facts that underscore its effectiveness:
- Up to 40% savings on building energy consumption.
- 151 TONNES OF CO2 SAVED in the 2023-2024 equipment period.
- 23.8% AVERAGE SAVINGS compared to unoptimized systems.
- 1 YEAR AND 9 MONTHS RETURN ON INVESTMENT in many administrative and residential buildings.
- Swiss engineered algorithms and hardware that ensure consistent reliability.
Innovative, Smart Heating Management
The YORD optimizer works in a series of clear and dynamic steps. It starts with an on-site analysis—a quick visit to a building to get acquainted with its existing installation and to pinpoint potential energy savings opportunities. Next, a device is connected to the heating system along with wireless sensors strategically placed both inside and outside the building. This allows real-time optimization of the system, using intelligent algorithms that ‘learn’ the habits and needs of building occupants. The system continuously fine-tunes the heating operations for maximum efficiency without compromising comfort. Periodic reporting provides visible proof of energy reduction and savings achieved, ensuring that building managers stay informed as their systems improve over time.
Universal Installation and Compatibility
YORD prides itself on a universal system that can be applied to every building, regardless of the age or type of its heating system. Installation is remarkably simple—no modifications to the existing setup are necessary. The device seamlessly connects to existing heating systems, which guarantees that both older and current heating installations can experience energy savings. Whether a building is meant for residential use or administratively managed, YORD proves to be a reliable and flexible solution. This broad compatibility emphasizes the product’s readiness to meet the diverse challenges of energy management across a wide range of environments.
Energy Transition and Sustainability
Energy transition is at the heart of the YORD mission. The optimizer not only reduces energy consumption by up to 40%, but it also plays a pivotal role in lowering CO2 emissions—an essential factor for a more sustainable future. With successes recorded from several municipalities—including Bienne, Sion, Morges, Fribourg, Vaud, Nendaz, Martigny, Promatériau, Yverdon, Next, Groupe-E, Vernier, Monthey, and Carouge—the adoption of YORD has a meaningful impact on the environment. This approach aligns with the growing need for actions that meet the energy challenges of today with creativity, consistency and ethics. The call for action is clear, and the message is simple: Let’s be actors of the energy transition!

Optimized Comfort and Energy Reporting
Keeping user comfort at the forefront, YORD ensures that energy savings never come at the expense of a cozy, welcoming indoor environment. Continuous monitoring and adjustments mean that occupants experience a balanced temperature that maximizes comfort even during nights, weekends, or absences. The integrated YORD web app complements the hardware by enabling remote tracking and control. With just a few clicks, building managers and users can get real-time insights into the system’s performance, adjust temperature settings, manage specific modes, and monitor overall energy consumption. This transparency fosters confidence in long-term sustainable practices and provides evidence of ongoing improvements, all while maintaining a conversational and engaging approach that makes energy management feel less like a chore and more like a smart, everyday solution.
