Sustainable buildings

Hero Balancer makes buildings sustainable using smart software. The jury believes that this company is an appealing example of the new economy. The company connects tomorrow's world with an accessible, but above all cost-saving product. Hero Balancer contributes to a better indoor climate, sustainable CO2 reduction and a lower energy bill. Smart measurement and control systems ensure optimum coordination, and large-scale heating systems will never again heat up needlessly.

Digital caretaker

Hero Balancer is actually a digital caretaker that regulates the supply and demand of heat thanks to artificial intelligence. Marja Ruigrok: 'By now, many organisations in Haarlemmermeer are already benefiting from this smart technology, that's fantastic!’
