In today’s race toward net zero energy, engineers and building owners are under pressure to reduce energy use, lower emissions, and ensure long-term operational efficiency. But even with efficient lighting and renewable energy sources in place, one of the biggest energy drains in any building remains: the HVAC system.

Hysopt is a digital twin-based HVAC optimization platform that transforms how we approach sustainable building design. By modeling and improving hydronic heating and cooling systems, Hysopt helps buildings exceed their energy performance targets through science-backed system design and performance validation.
While many net zero strategies focus on insulation and renewable energy, HVAC systems can account for more than 50% of a building’s total energy consumption. Suboptimal design, imbalanced controls, and poor distribution result in significant energy waste—even in new buildings.
With Hysopt, these inefficiencies are identified and resolved through:
Simulation-backed performance validation
Optimization of both new and existing systems
Guaranteed energy savings and ROI

Here’s how Hysopt aligns with net zero architecture principles:
Simulates and compares HVAC design options digitally before installation
Detects and corrects hydraulic inefficiencies missed in traditional design
Cuts energy use by up to 30% in existing systems
Supports integration of heat pumps, solar thermal, and geothermal
Enables low-temperature heating for efficient renewable operation
Facilitates thermal storage for grid stability
Creates a digital twin for real-time performance monitoring
Improves commissioning and retro-commissioning precision
Validates HVAC system design with simulated performance guarantees
Implementing Hysopt provides lasting benefits that extend far beyond basic energy code compliance:
Lower Capital & Operating Costs – Avoid oversizing, cut energy bills
Carbon Reduction – Minimize emissions from day one
Faster ROI – Prevent redesigns and installation errors
Future-Ready – Prepare for evolving energy regulations and certifications
Hysopt has been adopted by universities, hospitals, public authorities, and commercial developers across Europe and North America.
📌 Case Study: In a major university retrofit, Hysopt enabled a 40% reduction in HVAC energy use—leading to significant carbon savings and financial return.
Whether you're planning a new build or upgrading existing systems, Hysopt delivers the insights and tools needed to optimize HVAC performance and support your net zero building goals.
