ecoworks

ecoworks is a German building-renovation technology company founded in 2019, with more than 90 employees. It was created to speed up energy-efficient retrofitting of aging residential buildings, an area where conventional on-site renovation is slow, disruptive to residents and hard to scale.

The company designs and delivers prefabricated facade and roof elements, produced off-site with insulation, windows, ventilation and photovoltaic panels already installed, plus renewable heating systems that can bring a building close to net-zero operation. On-site assembly typically takes only a few weeks. Customers are housing companies such as TAG Immobilien, LEG, Dawonia and GEWOBAU Erlangen, and the company has delivered more than 25 projects worth over EUR 190 million.

1. Prefabricated facades: Factory-built facade elements arrive with insulation, windows and ventilation pre-installed.

2. Solar roof elements: Prefabricated roof modules integrate photovoltaic panels for on-site renewable generation.

3. Renewable heating: Supplies renewable heat systems that can enable near net-zero building operation.

4. Fast on-site assembly: Shifts about 80% of the work into the factory, cutting on-site construction time.

5. Space expansion: Adds rooftop storeys or balconies to increase usable residential area during retrofit.

6. Track record: Delivered more than 25 renovation projects worth over EUR 190 million for German housing providers.
