Salary benchmarks
Our take
Buildings account for 34% of global CO₂ emissions, and in the UK alone, £3.8 billion is lost each year through energy-inefficient homes. NOVA is developing systems to rapidly and efficiently decarbonise buildings at scale, accelerating the transition toward a net-zero future.
Having only recently emerged from stealth, NOVA is already uncovering major opportunities starting in the UK. And this is just the beginning for the young, ambitious startup.
