Waste-heat recovery for buildings: partners & pilot projects (2026)
Engineer at Savery Tech
France
About
Savery Tech develops thermal energy solutions for the building sector that capture low- to mid-grade waste heat and upgrade it for useful loads such as space cooling and heating. We help building owners and project teams reduce energy consumption, operating costs, and carbon impact by turning “lost” heat from HVAC loops, cooling systems, equipment rooms, and infrastructure into a reliable resource.
What we offer
-
Waste-heat recovery and heat-convertion system design (“thermal transformer” approach)
-
Feasibility assessment and energy mapping (sources/sinks, temperature levels, operating profiles)
-
Integration support with building HVAC/DHW architectures (retrofit or new build)
-
Pilot deployment support, commissioning, and performance monitoring with measurable KPIs
What we’re looking for
-
Pilot buildings (commercial, residential, mixed-use) with relevant heat sources (cooling/chillers, technical rooms, data/IT spaces, refrigeration, etc.)
-
HVAC installers, ESCOs, MEP engineers, and OEM partners interested in integration and go-to-market collaboration
-
Developers and asset managers seeking scalable solutions across portfolios
Ideal pilot profile (examples)
-
Buildings with year-round cooling demand and simultaneous heating/DHW needs
-
Renovation projects targeting energy performance upgrades
-
District/centralized systems where recovered heat can be redistributed efficiently
Let’s connect to identify high-value pilot sites, define success metrics (kWh saved, CO₂ avoided, payback), and structure a partnership for deployment in 2026.
