Frequently asked questions

What is renovativ?

It is a machine learning model that calculates the physical equations around the building model. It creates optimal building energy retrofit plans in minutes, rather than months. Our artificial intelligence plays with around 50 building parameters to deliver personalized renovation recommendations. You get a baseline model and 2–5 optimal retrofit packages with cost, savings, payback, EPC impact, and CO2 reduction for each building at the city scale. We serve municipalities, engineering consultancies, and building owners across Europe.

How is renovativ different from traditional thermal engineering?

Traditional thermal engineering can take months and cost thousands of euros for a single building assessment. RetroHeat's AI works 5,000 times faster, generating thousands of renovation scenarios in minutes. We've cloned physics-based simulations into machine learning models, making professional-grade retrofit planning accessible and scalable at city-wide levels.

Renovativ's estimate has no legal value and cannot replace an Energy Performance Certificate carried out by an approved professional.

Who is it for?

Municipalities, housing providers, and engineering firms are planning renovations at the building or portfolio scale.

How fast is it?

Single buildings: minutes. Portfolios and cities: hours to days depending on data availability.

What is your 3-step process?

Step 1 - ANALYZE: Our AI processes 50+ building parameters including geometry, insulation, and energy systems.

Step 2 - OPTIMIZE: We generate thousands of renovation scenarios to find the optimal solution for your specific building and budget.

Step 3 - DELIVER: You receive personalized retrofit plans with precise specifications and cost estimates.
