Build sustainably by recycling waste energy? Hestiia launches MyEkoPro, the first digital radiator to comply with RE1

To achieve this, one of the key measures is improving the energy performance of buildings. What are the levers? This is where hestiia, the French start-up, enters the scene with MyEko Pro®, the first digital radiator respecting RE1.

Decarbonizing the digital industry while improving the energy performance of buildings

In 2020 the French government launched the RE2020 environmental regulation, a major step aimed at encouraging the construction of buildings with a low carbon footprint. This regulation requires a significant reduction in the energy consumption of new buildings and promotes the use of more environmentally friendly materials and technologies. At the same time, energy renovation initiatives for existing buildings are increasing. The Building Energy Renovation Plan (PREBAT) aims to renovate 500.000 homes per year by 2022, with particular emphasis on improving energy efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions.

The digital radiator improves the overall energy performance of buildings by significantly reducing primary energy consumption. In fact, this solution allows a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions through the use of a more environmentally friendly heat source: waste energy. As a result, myEko Pro® allows 89% of waste energy to be reused as a renewable energy source and is fully compliant with RE2020 requirements. Concretely, the MyEko Pro® radiator functions like a mini data center. Unlike gigantic installations which must be cooled, MyEko Pro® is decentralized to be installed where heat is useful: in homes and offices. When a user turns on MyEko Pro®, two phenomena occur. First of all, the computing power, useful to businesses, is activated. At the same time, these calculations generate heat, until reaching the temperature previously chosen on the thermostat of the room where MyEko Pro® is installed.

MyEko Pro® is a practical and economical solution thanks to its simplified installation, combined with the absence of maintenance requirements. In addition, its silent and discreet operation avoids any noise and visual pollution, thus improving the quality of life of occupants. Investing in myEko Pro® also means instant real estate revaluation of the building, while guaranteeing optimal control of the heating budget.

Rethinking the architecture of tomorrow

In today's urban landscape, the layout of modern buildings is often hampered by the need to dedicate the top floors to ventilation systems or technical areas, to the detriment of creating living spaces or leisure for residents.

It is with this in mind that myEko Pro® offers a revolutionary solution. By rethinking the use of these spaces, this innovative system makes it possible to transform roofs into terraces or hanging gardens, and technical areas into parking spaces dedicated to bicycles or cargo bikes. Choosing myEko Pro® is equivalent to selecting maximum use of each available space. By improving the daily lives of residents and increasing the value of real estate, this solution represents an innovative response to the challenges of contemporary urban planning.
