RENOWATE

About us

RENOWATE is a Germany-headquartered company specializing in 'serielle Sanierung' — serial, industrialized renovation of existing residential and non-residential buildings — using prefabricated, standardized modules for facades, roofs, and building technical systems rather than one-off, fully custom retrofits. The company's stated aim is to make a meaningful contribution to climate neutrality by decarbonizing the existing building stock, arguing that demolition and new construction release significant CO2 and that the greater climate opportunity lies in upgrading buildings that already exist.

RENOWATE frames sustainable renovation ('nachhaltig sanieren') around three dimensions consistent with the classic triple-bottom-line model: ecological sustainability (reducing CO2 emissions and resource use, largely through better insulation and renewable energy integration such as rooftop photovoltaics), economic sustainability (lower operating costs achieved through energy-efficiency measures, keeping renovation affordable enough that rents can remain reasonable for tenants), and social sustainability (higher comfort and quality of life for residents through better insulation, modern heating, and improved sound insulation). The company explicitly states it selects sustainable materials such as wood, cellulose, and straw for its prefabricated modules, and that it works closely with residents during projects to minimize disruption to their daily lives.

RENOWATE is associated with the broader Energiesprong movement — an approach to net-zero, industrialized deep retrofits that originated in the Netherlands and has since been replicated across Germany, France, and Italy — and press coverage cited on its own site (from IVV Immobilien vermieten & verwalten) frames the company's serial-renovation work as making retrofitting more socially equitable and affordable at scale. The company markets its approach to housing companies and institutional property owners ('Bestandshalter') across several German-speaking cities, including Düsseldorf, Mönchengladbach, and Soest, as well as broader activity across Hesse.

RENOWATE's headquarters is at Klaus-Bungert-Str. 9, 40468 Düsseldorf, Germany, with additional offices in Bregenz (Austria), Frankfurt am Main (Germany), St. Gallen (Switzerland), and Vienna (Austria), reflecting an operating footprint across the DACH region. The company can be reached at info@renowate.earth or +49 211 88230150, and maintains LinkedIn, YouTube, X (Twitter), and Instagram profiles.
