Ecosummit TV: The Energiewende is not only about electricity but also about heat. Philipp Pausder pitches the Berlin-based startup FutureWatt at Ecosummit Düsseldorf 2012. For business customers, FutureWatt controls the design, the financing and the operation of distributed energy systems with the aim of significantly reducing the energy bill. In December 2012, Philipp and his team launched the B2C Internet platform called heizkosten-senken.de which helps consumers reduce their heating costs.

In Germany, over 10 million heating systems are out of date and should be replaced from an ecological and economic point of view. Starting with an online calculator that shows the cost savings potential, the platform offers heating solutions and connects the user to service providers that come to the house to install the new heating system. FutureWatt’s ultimate vision is to sell heat by the kwh.

The ECO12 Düsseldorf presentation slides of Philipp are available as PDF.
