Climespace — Managing cooling for landmark buildings

# Climespace — Managing cooling for landmark buildings

#platform#frontend#backend#data-viz

A platform for building owners on district-cooling systems to track budgets, consumption, and equipment — including a schematic/graph view of their installations.

client: Climespacerole: Full frontend & part of the backend

Climespace runs district-cooling networks for major buildings — the kind of client list that includes the owners of the Louvre. We built Mon Climespace, a platform that lets those building owners manage their cooling budgets and consumption, and get a detailed read on their equipment.

The challenge

Cooling at this scale is data-heavy and technical: owners need to see budgets and consumption clearly, but also understand their physical installations — which equipment is where, how it connects, how it performs. The hard part was making that legible.

What we built

Delivered at Cherry Pulp:

• A client platform for tracking budgets and consumption across buildings
• Detailed analysis and reporting on each owner's cooling equipment
• A schematic / graph view of the installations, so technical equipment reads at a glance

My role

I built the whole frontend and a good part of the backend — including the schematic/graph implementation that turns the installation data into a visual the owners can actually reason about.

The interesting part

The schematic/graph view was the piece that mattered most. Cooling installations are physical, spatial, and hierarchical — equipment connected in specific sequences with specific relationships — and the brief was to render that as something a building owner (not a technician) could actually read. Turning structured equipment data into a legible graph layout, with meaningful visual hierarchy, was the core design and engineering problem here.

Outcome

Building owners got a single place to manage cooling budgets, consumption, and equipment, with their installations rendered as a clear visual schematic rather than a spreadsheet.
