Hilmar Simon Engineering’s Heat-Seeking Compute Scheduler
A German engineering practice developing control and optimization software for thermal systems, including a platform that schedules computing workloads around building heat demand.
- For
- Utilities, property companies, and heat-intensive operators
- Worth noticing
- TAO’s stated project window runs from July 2024 through December 2027 and is described as BSFZ-certified R&D.
Field notes
The practice covers the engineering layer between thermal models and operating equipment, including sensor selection, embedded firmware, data validation, and gateway mapping. Its stated TAO project extends that work to decentralized computing: forecasts and optimization determine when compute loads run, while the resulting heat is timed against building demand. The site lists both effort-based and fixed-price contracting, with source code and documentation transferred when contractually agreed and payment is complete.
