Challenge
The City of Ghent wanted to create an accessible and data-driven platform that empowers citizens to make informed renovation decisions.
The main challenge was to simplify complex energy performance concepts and turn them into clear, actionable insights while ensuring a seamless and intuitive user experience for all audiences — from homeowners to local energy advisors.
Agifly’s team of highly skilled individuals is very responsive, hardworking, collaborative, dedicated and flexible. This ensured a very pleasant and productive collaboration. Feedback on the project has been overwhelmingly positive.
