Energiekompas

Hackathon concept and presentation2025–2026Civic tech · AI product thinking · Rapid prototyping

Amsterdam residents have to piece together information about home energy measures, subsidies, and the heat transition. With Code & Close, I helped build Energiekompas to guide people to relevant information through a short series of questions. We won the energy-transition challenge at the Amsterdam Policy Hackathon in September 2025.

Energiekompas was a hackathon demo, not a production municipal service.

Presenting it at the municipality

In January 2026, I prepared and gave a presentation about Energiekompas at the Municipality of Amsterdam's Energie Kennisuur. The audience included people working on the city's energy transition.

The municipality has since continued developing the project.
