Startup Profile
Team members:
Using satellite Earth observation data from the European Union and North American space programs, OWLplaces offers a global data solution to decarbonize and renaturalize cities and buildings. OWLplaces focuses on democratizing access to carbon footprint and environmental impact data for construction and real estate assets. We are a one-stop shop for clients looking to acquire or build real estate properties, providing a comprehensive solution that allows them to plan, improve, and report on the decarbonization and sustainability of their assets. By combining AI, geospatial data, and nature-based solutions, we ensure compliance with the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and the EU Taxonomy.
The problem we're solving
Our clients are facing increasing pressure to comply with net-zero and decarbonization goals. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and the EU Taxonomy now require property owners to plan, improve, and report on their assets' sustainable performance. This obliges owners to measure and report both the building's performance and its impact on the surrounding environment. Our clients now need concrete data on carbon footprint, circularity, water and energy consumption, health and comfort, climate change resilience and mitigation, protection of surrounding water and marine resources, biodiversity, circularity, and pollution.
Our solution
OWL combines Geospatial Data, Artificial Intelligence, and Nature-based solutions to provide clients with the data and digital tools needed to achieve net-zero and decarbonization goals. Clients can now plan, improve, and monitor their sustainable performance, addressing both their building's carbon footprint and its environmental impact. This approach ensures compliance with the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and the EU Taxonomy, helping property owners meet increasing sustainability demands with confidence.
Our differentiator
Existing competitors that use geospatial data and nature-based solutions to offset carbon primarily focus on carbon absorption in agricultural or forest projects. OWL tackles the problem at its root by decarbonizing cities and urban properties, where more than 70% of global carbon emissions are generated. OWL is also a deep-tech solution, featuring proprietary algorithms and certifications that allow for the assessment of sustainability KPIs for both buildings and their environmental impact. Additionally, it is one of the few companies in the market with a mobile app that transparently shows the results of the improvements.
Biggest achievement
Our greatest achievement is fostering a culture that combines shared happiness with accountability. Our company has developed a robust process that maintains positive relationships with employees, suppliers, and clients. By cultivating happiness while delivering top-quality value, we have brought joy to our clients, partners, and internal team. This approach has resulted in a high rate of returning clients and positive word-of-mouth.
