Our take
A transition to a decarbonized energy future is vital if the world is to avoid climate disaster, but adapting existing infrastructure is a complex and costly undertaking. Adia is addressing this, by leveraging AI-generated digital twins and smart devices to support the transition even for the most difficult buildings.
By using digital twins, which are digital models of real-world objects, the company will enable the faster assessment of how decarbonization plans will work for specific buildings. This should empower more effective projects to be undertaken, which are backed up by the confidence of rigorous simulation and testing.
Adia's first product, Adia Thermal, on which it is currently focussed, is designed to enable rapid and low cost heat pump installations for the mass market. As the company is addressing a very present problem, there is certainly promise for its future, so long as its offering stands up to its mission.
