Problem
Real estate investors and service providers face increasing pressure to reduce CO2 emissions from buildings while maintaining profitability and complying with evolving ESG regulations. Traditional methods for energy auditing and renovation planning are often manual, time-consuming, and lack the dynamic adaptability required to respond to changing market conditions and regulatory requirements. This makes it difficult to identify optimal renovation strategies that balance financial returns with sustainability goals.
Solution
Scandens offers an AI-powered software platform that streamlines energy auditing and renovation planning for real estate portfolios, enabling data-driven decisions that optimize both profitability and ESG compliance. The platform integrates portfolio, property, and component levels, allowing users to break down corporate goals into concrete action plans. By creating a central digital twin of the portfolio, Scandens automates data collection, identifies buildings with the greatest need for renovation, and compares various renovation measures based on technical, regulatory, and financial feasibility. The software dynamically updates investment and renovation plans in response to changing market conditions, such as new energy laws, prices, or subsidies, ensuring that plans remain current and aligned with climate goals.
Target Audience
Scandens targets real estate service providers (consultants, planners, and developers) and portfolio holders/real estate managers in Switzerland, Germany, and Austria.
