Leanheat

Helping to make building heating smarter with a custom solution

Leanheat is an Internet of Things solution that upgrades building heating systems for the digital age. Leanheat provides secure real-time heating optimization not only for individual buildings but entire clusters of apartment buildings – while at the same time giving district heating companies the chance to serve their customers more efficiently and with a smaller carbon footprint.

Vincit helped to create an integration solution from the ground up that allowed Leanheat’s system to easily and securely connect with apartment buildings, enabling fast business growth.

The challenge – allow easy integration of Leanheat’s solution with apartment buildings

Leanheat offers an automation platform for apartment heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. It’s an intelligent system that uses machine learning to optimize heating and energy use. However, what was missing was a way to integrate the solution easily, scalably, and securely with all kinds of apartment buildings to ensure that Leanheat could grow quickly.

The solution – build and maintain a custom system

We created an integration solution from scratch that allows Leanheat’s smart system to communicate with any apartment building. Leanheat can connect with a building’s existing Internet network. If the building doesn’t have a network, we also created a method that can be easily deployed to enable connectivity. The solution is built to be secure so heating can’t be influenced by outside actors. We’re also in charge of improving the application continuously.
