The company was founded in 2021 by four engineers with degrees from the HES-SO Fribourg CH. During their previous professional lives in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, the four young men realized that ventilation, air-conditioning and heating installations were the source of significant energy waste in our buildings.
It has been supported by the Friup incubator since its inception, and today by Innosuisse.
At the heart of YORD is a set of environmental convictions that have been decisive since our very first day.
We are much more than a company; we are the expression of a shared desire to reduce our carbon footprint and actively contribute to the preservation of our planet.
This commitment is not only engraved in our DNA, it is embodied in everything we do, from the design of our innovative products to our strategic choices and future developments.
Our action is in line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals 9 and 13. With us, help reduce energy consumption and achieve the trajectory set out in the Paris agreements and the 2050 climate law.

Our system adapts to your new installation. Our team will transfer the solution to your new heating system.
Yes, our optimizer makes them even more efficient and saves energy. With non-fossil-fuel heating systems known for their low energy consumption, YORD acts to ensure that the right amount of energy is used to further reduce consumption.
A new building can also be made more efficient by optimizing its heating system. In addition to structural work and the often more efficient insulation of a recent building, optimization enables temperature monitoring and ensures thermal comfort while saving energy.
The sensors send their data to the communication gateway using the LoRaWAN protocol. The advantages of this radio frequency protocol are its long range, low data rate and secure use.
No, our team will install the system for you. A manual is available in the heating room to explain how the optimizer works.
Installation is carried out by a professional and takes just half a day. Beforehand, it’s important to check whether an outdoor sensor is connected to your boiler. The sensor is often installed on the north wall of the house.
Installation is carried out by a professional and takes an average of 1 day for a building of less than 4,000m2, and 2 days between 4,000 and 10,000m2. Beforehand, a preliminary visit will be made by a member of our team to inspect the installation and its specific features to guarantee feasibility.
Savings are calculated using the heating curve and data measured once the optimizer has been installed. We use the heating curve to determine how the heater would have reacted at a given temperature. Savings are calculated by comparing the actual data of the yord-equipped heater with the data that would have been obtained without optimization.
Data is secured at our Swiss service provider Exoscale in Lausanne. We are aware of the critical nature of your data, and do our utmost to secure it in compliance with Swiss and European regulations. We use the LoraWan protocol instead of WiFi. We are on a local network dedicated to our system. There is no possible porosity with your computer networks within the building.
It takes a few days to model the building, understand its inertia and build the default heating curve for the boiler within our system. Once the optimizer has properly integrated the building’s thermal envelope, the algorithms are able to anticipate heating requirements and make savings while maintaining comfort.
