Team

The people behind kWIQly: building energy engineering, software and client service in Switzerland, Germany and the United Kingdom.

kWIQly began in building energy consultancy, surveying heating, cooling and controls in real buildings. The analytics platform grew out of that fieldwork, so the findings we send you are written by people who have stood in the plant room.
