10 million euros for Fuchs & Eule

The Berlin-based climate and PropTech company Fuchs & Eule aims to simplify the energy-efficient retrofitting of existing buildings using data-driven analytics and artificial intelligence, and has now raised 10 million euros in fresh growth capital for this purpose.

The funding round is led by the GET Fund. PI Impact and WaVe-X are also new investors. Existing investors SET Ventures, Picus Capital, and Realyze Ventures are participating again.

AI Aims to Simplify Renovation Decisions

Increasing regulatory requirements, high investment costs, and complex renovation decisions are putting property owners under growing pressure. At the same time, buildings with poor energy efficiency are increasingly becoming liabilities in investment portfolios.

Fuchs & Eule combines engineering expertise with data-driven analyses and AI-powered models to systematically assess the energy retrofit needs of residential and commercial properties.

The biggest hurdle is not the willingness to renovate, but the complexity of the decisions. We make them manageable with AI-powered analyses, clear recommendations for action, and sound advice for the entire real estate portfolio.

Dr. Tobias Frese, Co-CEO of Fuchs & Eule

The process begins with an AI-powered portfolio screening that identifies buildings with the greatest potential for renovation and value appreciation. Building on this, the company creates detailed building analyses, digital twins, and concrete renovation roadmaps, and also assists in selecting suitable incentive programs.

More than 10,000 buildings analyzed

Since its founding in 2021, Fuchs & Eule has, according to its own figures, already analyzed more than 10,000 buildings —representing over five million square meters of residential and commercial space.

Its key clients include property owners, family offices, and asset managers. The company is experiencing particularly strong growth in the sectors of office real estate, finance and insurance, retail, administration, and healthcare real estate.

An analysis of projects completed to date shows that the recommended measures resulted in an average reduction of 21.6 metric tons of CO₂ per building per year.

Building Renovation Is Becoming a Billion-Dollar Market

Demand for specialized renovation consulting is expected to continue rising in the coming years. Among other factors, this is driven by the requirements of the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). According to this directive, the 16 percent of all non-residential buildings in the European Union with the worst energy performance must be retrofitted by 2030, and by 2033, even the 26 percent with the worst performance.

Fuchs & Eule distinguishes itself by translating insights into building physics into customized renovation measures that make sense both from an energy and economic perspective.

For property owners, this means a significant need for investment and planning. At the same time, economic pressure is mounting as energy-inefficient buildings increasingly lose market value.

Expansion of the Digital Platform

Fuchs & Eule plans to use the new capital primarily to further develop its digital platform. Plans include additional AI features, smarter portfolio screenings, and the expansion of data-driven analyses and personalized renovation consulting.

The company was founded in 2021 by Robin Behlau, Dr. Tobias Frese, Lina Adrian, Dr. Friso Zimmermann, and Matthias Kube.

Climate protection in the building sector is increasingly becoming a data-driven business area. Those who can prioritize renovations based on economic viability and efficiently meet regulatory requirements will provide real estate owners with a decisive competitive advantage in the future.
