A new way of sustainable heat trade for the Westland

In this innovative project, growers take control over their geothermal energy usage. Through an underground heat network, they can easily trade excess heat or purchase it when needed for the first time. Together with a custom online platform, a completely new system for sustainable heat exchange is created. The result: smarter energy use, reduced environmental impact, and a future-proof model for greenhouse horticulture.

The challenge: diverse needs, one shared platform
Growers vary greatly in size, crop type, and energy needs. Previously, there was no central system to exchange energy transparently and accessibly. Our task was to design a platform that brings together all these diverse needs and enables collaboration without feeling complex.

One platform for collaboration and overview
We developed a digital platform that allows gardeners to easily trade energy. Transparency and ease of use were our top priorities. With smart visualizations and a clear dashboard, we provide an organized overview of energy consumption, supply, and trade flows. This enables users to make the right decisions quickly.

Insight through smart data display
To effectively support trade, understanding energy consumption is essential. We designed a visual dashboard that clearly displays incoming, outgoing, and traded energy, combined with relevant KPIs. This provides a solid foundation for reliable and well-considered energy decisions.

Smooth navigation and clear interaction
The platform navigation is designed to enable quick actions. Users can easily compare or adjust deals without distractions. Every click is deliberate: the consequences of actions are immediately clear, empowering users to act with confidence.

Connect with various energy profiles
The energy needs of growers vary significantly. Thanks to the heating network, supply and demand can be better aligned. The platform facilitates this exchange by effectively supporting the diversity in energy usage, leading to a more efficient distribution of heat.

Focus on the user with focus groups and usability testing
Because many different users come together on one platform, collaboration in the design process is crucial. Through focus groups and user testing, we have tailored the platform to their needs. This resulted in a user-friendly system that works for everyone, from small growers to large producers.
