ÉcoWatt sits between households, market actors, and public institutions. Understanding each stakeholder's motivations and constraints was essential to shaping what ÉcoWatt should, and should not, try to do.
These owners can make renovation decisions independently and are highly motivated by financial returns. They want clear guidance on whether renovations will actually reduce costs or improve DPE scores. ÉcoWatt supports them by providing reliable comparisons between their real consumption and what the DPE predicts.
Owners in copropriétés face collective decision-making, which often slows or blocks renovations. They need transparent data to support arguments in assemblies and justify shared investments. ÉcoWatt helps them understand potential savings and communicate these insights to their co-owners.
Renters feel the impact of high energy bills but cannot renovate their homes. They rely on everyday behaviours and subscription choices to reduce costs. ÉcoWatt serves them by highlighting habit-based savings and easy, achievable actions.
Landlords hold significant power over structural improvements and react strongly to regulations, especially rental bans for F and G properties. They care about compliance and long-term financial outcomes. ÉcoWatt offers them clear projections of ROI and future energy costs.
Agencies influence buyer and seller expectations around DPE scores. They help shape demand and pricing but often lack tools to explain discrepancies between predicted and actual consumption. ÉcoWatt can become a useful reference for them when advising clients.
As the provider of real electricity consumption data, ENEDIS is essential for accurate analysis. Their data allows ÉcoWatt to compare estimated performance with real usage, improving user trust in energy recommendations.
These actors determine how the DPE label is calculated. Their methodology shapes the expectations and constraints users operate within. ÉcoWatt complements their work by translating DPE information into practical insights for households.
Municipal, national, and EU-level regulations define the rules households must follow. These regulations, especially rental restrictions for low-rated homes, create urgency for renovation and make clarity essential. ÉcoWatt helps users understand what these rules mean in practice.
These companies enable structural improvements but depend on users being willing to invest. ÉcoWatt helps bridge this gap by explaining costs, payback time, and expected savings, making users more confident in engaging with contractors.
Energy suppliers influence how much users pay through pricing structures and subscription types. Many people find this information difficult to interpret. ÉcoWatt simplifies it by showing which changes genuinely reduce costs.
Mapping each stakeholder by how much power they hold over ÉcoWatt's impact, and how directly interested they are in its success.
The market currently offers several tools, but none provide a complete solution:
The competitors provide partial solutions: some analyse renovations, others estimate consumption, but none combine real data, habits, DPE comparisons, and clear recommendations in one place.
This makes it the first tool that shows users what they are truly paying for, why they are paying it, and which changes, small or large, will make a measurable difference.
Its prioritised features strengthen this value: the ability to upload energy bills, the comparison of real consumption with DPE predictions, the integration of renovation and behaviour-based recommendations, and the clear organisation of results into digestible sections. Together, these elements give users a transparent overview of how to save money, improve efficiency, and make sustainable renovation decisions.
