What is ECCO2 Solutions AG?
ECCO2 Solutions AG is working for a world in balance by reducing energy consumption in buildings with a blend of IoT, IT, and AI-assisted heating control. Their innovative approach involves transforming traditional real estate assets into smart buildings through the use of a high-resolution network of IoT sensors. With a clear mission to optimize building efficiency, the company applies its unique technology, NARA AI, to achieve up to a 20% certified reduction in CO2 emissions. This pioneering process is continuously refined—step by step—to adapt to the specific needs of each building and its environment.
Main Benefit
Key figures and facts that define the benefits of ECCO2’s offerings include:
- Up to 20% certified reduction of CO2 emissions using NARA AI
- 52% of buildings exhibit homogeneity defects that disturb heating regulation
- SFP-managed portfolio achieved 2,172 MWh in energy savings and cut 410 tons of CO2
- Digital Twin model that allows artificial intelligence to calculate heating needs with unknown precision
Building Intelligence and Digital Twin
The concept of Building Intelligence is central to ECCO2’s operations. Their “High Resolution Sensing” indoor climate sensor network finely analyzes a building’s behavior in relation to the weather. This is what laid the foundation for the creation of a digital model known as the “Digital Twin.” Through this technological marvel, artificial intelligence is empowered to calculate heating needs, bringing comfort and saving energy with an almost magical level of accuracy. A slight pause here… it’s a breakthrough that makes many conventional heating systems seem rudimentary.
Imperceptible Fine Adjustments
With NARA AI operating remotely like hundreds of technicians at once, the system progressively fine-tunes the building’s thermal balance until perfection is reached—all within a span of three months. In a conversational manner, one may note that these subtle adjustments are so discreet that occupants hardly notice the changes, yet the savings and efficiency improvements are tangible. The intelligent control system manages everything almost magically, ensuring that every building is optimized to the highest standard without the hassle of manual interventions.
Swiss Excellence and Compliance
Designed in Switzerland and supported by specialized partners, the electronic equipment behind ECCO2’s system conveys Swiss quality and precision. The strategic collaboration with Swisscom not only ensures high standards in the communication network but also guarantees secure data processing and storage, right on Swiss soil. For the calculation, certification, and compliance of results, the standards of SIA 2013/CECB are applied rigorously. When implemented in international markets, the export version is carefully adjusted to adhere to EU standards for data analysis while also addressing the unique uses of each local market. This attention to detail is the hallmark of high engineering and regulatory rigour.

Community and Case Study Update
ECCO2 Solutions AG has recently announced its membership with the swisscleantech community—a prominent business association that strives for a sustainable and liberal economic policy in Switzerland. This addition not only strengthens the company’s standing in the clean technology landscape, but also fosters a collaborative environment with like-minded partners. In line with its commitment to innovation, ECCO2 has successfully executed and certified the first full year of its Building Intelligence technology, deployed on an SFP-managed real estate portfolio that began in July 2023. A case study from a newly constructed building in Zürich further illustrates how the trio of Monitoring, Optimisation, and Performance Gap Solutions has enabled that building to operate at peak performance. The energy efficiency measures and detailed monitoring systems, which include real-time data on indoor climate, water temperatures, and energy consumption, offer actionable insights that directly impact the building’s overall operational strategy. These updates, casually delivered as ongoing progress, echo the continuous improvement ethos embraced by ECCO2 Solutions AG… it’s all about ensuring that every building can perform at its absolute best.
