Collective HEATing With artificial Intelligence for Sobriety & Efficiency

HEATWISE by Kocliko cuts energy waste in collective heating using certified AI and real comfort data.

The company replaces legacy radiator-based Heat Cost Allocators (HCA) with a plug-and-play system combining temperature sensors, building digital twins, and a certified SaaS platform. It enables fairer billing and cuts heating demand by over 20 %, without plumbing or radiator work. Certified by the French National Metrology Institute (LNE), it is the first ambient-temperature-based HCA authorised for billing.

Kocliko’s infrastructure goes further: it unlocks predictive boiler control, renovation insights, and behavioural nudges, all powered by a patented simulation engine and massive field datasets. This positions the company to build a sovereign AI layer for building energy management. Already deployed in 40 000 apartments with strong retention and verified savings, the solution is ready to scale.

The addressable market is mature, regulated, and budgeted: 65 million European apartments are or must be equipped for HCA. But legacy systems fail to drive change. Kocliko bridges this gap, turning compliance into measurable decarbonisation, with no added cost for users.

The HEATWISE project will enable EU-wide expansion via a Value Added Reseller model leveraging local partners, with certification in 5 strategic countries, automation of the digital twin engine, and entry into cooling and tertiary buildings.

Kocliko requests €2.4M in grant to de-risk tech and certification, and €2M in equity to fund commercial deployment. Our model is strong, with 10 years contracts, but it combines hardware leasing, certification constraints, long sales cycles, elements that do not align with classic VC expectations. The EIC’s blended support is essential to unlock this high-impact market.

Expected impact: 3.6 MtCO2 avoided per year at scale, €1 of grant unlocking €3.3 in private capital, and a sovereign AI platform for Europe’s building stock.
