This startup manufactures wastewater heat recuperators designed for collective housing systems that produce domestic hot water. By recovering one-third of the energy required for hot water production and integrating fifteen percent renewable energy, the technology helps customers meet regulatory thermal requirements more economically.

Problem
In collective housing systems, a significant amount of energy is required to produce domestic hot water, leading to high energy consumption and costs. A considerable portion of this energy is wasted when warm wastewater is discharged into the sewer system. Meeting increasingly stringent regulatory thermal requirements adds further economic burden.
Solution
ThermiUp provides wastewater heat recuperators designed for collective housing systems to reduce energy consumption for domestic hot water production. The system recovers heat from wastewater to preheat the incoming cold water, reducing the energy needed from traditional heating systems. ThermiUp's technology is passive, requiring no motors or complex maintenance, and can be integrated with various types of water heaters, regardless of the energy source. By recovering between 10% to 30% of energy, ThermiUp helps customers meet regulatory thermal requirements more economically and reduces CO2 emissions. The solution is designed for simple installation using standard plumbing techniques.
Target Audience
ThermiUp targets real estate developers, building owners, installers, and design offices involved in collective housing projects, including apartment buildings and multi-family dwellings.
