Orang Energy

Helps to reduce your energy bills

Orang Energy is an energy savings calculator, aimed at showing the savings achievable through sustainable technology in the home and connecting homeowners with qualified local installers.

Turbine Education originally approached us to build a heatpump installer directory in time for an event. User research revealed that users actually needed a holistic energy-saving calculator, and a more varied installer registry. Our agile, outcome-focused approach allowed us to pivot smoothly and deliver what became Orang Energy, a tool that better served users' needs.

Built using Next.js, PostgreSQL and Tailwind CSS. Deployed to DigitalOcean App Platform via Github Actions.

Enabling Orang Energy for Scottish users was an inspiration for tap and epcdata.scot.

Working in an agile way, Chris and Endre consistently met the aims of development sprints. Where the technical challenges arose or when late requirement changes were introduced, they communicated in a timely and proactive manner to solve any issues. Not only did they perform as an excellent software development team, they also showed great interest in the product design, and provided their own intelligent insights to help with the product design. I highly recommend Digital Society! — Andrew Hall (Founder & Director, Turbine Education)
