the problem

No single data source is ever complete.

National registries are broad but outdated. Energy certificates are rich but cover only a fraction of buildings. Your own field data is reliable but not exhaustive. Teams burn enormous time reconciling data by hand — in spreadsheets and QGIS — before any real analysis begins.

up to 50%
of project time is spent collecting, cross-checking and arbitrating between hundreds of conflicting data sources.

how we stand out

We don't just sell data. We make all sources work together.

The best dataset never comes from one source — it's the right combination of many, curated by us and by you. That's what turns scattered data into a digital twin you can rely on, with three things no static dataset gives you.

Your priority rankingYou set which source wins and which is the safety net. Every building gets the best available value — 100% coverage, guaranteed.
Full traceabilityEvery value shows where it came from — measured, modelled or your own. No black boxes, defensible in any context.
A living twinSpot an error, fix it on the map. New survey, upload your Excel. One shared reference that keeps improving — a single point of truth.
what you control

Your intuitive geoportal, with powerful features.

Pick any area, select your sources, and start analysing instantly — no downloads, no GIS gymnastics. The data factory does the heavy lifting while you keep control of the rules.

Then create maps, filter buildings, summarise KPIs for any perimeter, drill into single buildings and produce dashboards — all in your browser. The data is the start; the platform is what you do with it.

which data you get

Attributes that support your workflows.

From geometry to energy, cost and carbon — we add sources continuously. Every attribute is traceable to its origin, and any value can be overridden with your own data.

the proof

Open data gets you close. Not close enough.

A customer compared heat-demand estimates for a municipality of ~1,000 buildings against their gas supplier's measured data. The default open-data they were using came in 40% too low. By cleaning, cross-checking and combining sources, Urban Data Factory landed within 7% of reality — in minutes, not days.

The same buildings, three very different answers
Annual heat demand of town with ~1,000 buildings vs. measured data
Measured data measured gas demand — ground truth12,964 MWh
Urban Data Factory cleaned, cross-checked, combined12,079 MWh −7% ✓
Default open-data single, uncleaned source7,771 MWh −40% ✗

What makes the difference

We clean and plausibilise raw data, cross-check every value against multiple independent sources, apply advanced energy models and recent norms, then let you layer your own measured data on top. The result is accuracy that stands up to professional scrutiny.

Accuracy varies by building type and segment. Where it matters most, you can always import your own data. Figures above are averaged over a sample of 1000 buildings.
