Thermia

What Thermia does

Thermia SRL is a Belgian building technologies specialist founded in 2008 in Leuze-en-Hainaut, Hainaut, that acts as both a custom HVAC control panel manufacturer and a building automation system integrator. The company designs and fabricates control cabinets in-house, combining PID-loop engineering and functional-principle analysis with certified Eu.bac commissioning. Its technical stack is anchored by the Siemens Smart Infrastructure ecosystem — Desigo CC supervision, Desigo PX and PXC automation controllers, Synco 700 and Synco IC, and the cloud-based Building X platform — and is extended through multi-protocol expertise covering Bacnet, KNX, ModBus, M-Bus, and Dali to integrate HVAC, lighting, blinds, and fire-damper subsystems. Partners include Rittal (enclosures/EPLAN engineering), Metz Connect, Carlo Gavazzi, and Schneider Electric for component supply.

Thermia's customer base sits across residential-type commercial buildings (apartments, hotels, schools, pools, offices, sports centers, animal parks) and mission-sensitive specialized sectors (hospitals, banks, military), with named references including Pairi Daiza, AW Europe, ACIS Group, CPAS de Charleroi, CRP, TEC, Thersa, and Cegelec Vinci Facilities. Project work typically spans needs analysis, schematic engineering, panel manufacturing, programming, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance, with modernization projects migrating legacy Siemens Integral/RVL systems onto Desigo PX and CC supervision.

The business model is twofold. The primary stream is B2B HVAC systems integration services delivered through direct enterprise field sales, with full lifecycle engineering, commissioning, and maintenance contracts. The secondary stream is a B2B e-commerce platform (shop.thermia.be) that distributes valves, actuators, sensors, thermostats, controllers, VAV systems, I/O modules, and gateways sourced from Siemens, Carlo Gavazzi, Metz Connect, and Schneider; products are dropshipped direct from suppliers with no inventory held and are sold ex-works with free shipping on orders above EUR 300. The company is privately held (Belgian SRL), has approximately 16 employees, and is led by Administrator Frédéric Vandewiele, supported by Guillaume Delecluse (bid estimator) and Julie Cornu (administrative manager).
