EcothermiQ Ltd.
Problem addressed
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, heating and cooling accounts for around 50% of global final energy consumption. The shift to electrified heating combined with rising temperatures could lead to higher electricity costs making it difficult for many households to afford adequate heating and leading to reduced quality of life and increased vulnerability during extreme weather conditions.
