Berlin-based climate technology startup Fuchs & Eule has secured €10 million in a funding round led by GET Fund, as demand for energy-efficient buildings continues to grow across Europe.
The round also included participation from PI Impact, WaVe-X, and existing investors SET Ventures, Picus Capital, and Realyze Ventures. The company plans to use the fresh capital to expand its AI-powered platform for building energy retrofits and strengthen its data-driven analysis capabilities.
Across Europe, environmental performance is becoming an important factor in property valuations. Buildings with stronger Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) credentials are increasingly attracting investment, while inefficient properties face higher compliance costs and declining market appeal.
The shift is also being driven by regulation.
Under the European Union's revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), member states must renovate the lowest-performing 16% of non-residential buildings by 2030. That target will increase to 26% by 2033, creating new compliance requirements for owners of office, retail, and healthcare properties.
Robin Behlau, Co-CEO of Fuchs & Eule, said property owners recognize the need to decarbonize their portfolios but are looking for solutions that simplify renovation planning instead of adding complexity.
Founded in 2021 by Robin Behlau, Tobias Frese, Lina Adrian, Friso Zimmermann, and Matthias Kube, Fuchs & Eule initially focused on helping homeowners plan energy-efficient renovations.
Today, the company serves institutional property owners, family offices, and asset managers across sectors including commercial real estate, finance, insurance, retail, and healthcare.
Its platform combines engineering expertise with artificial intelligence to identify buildings that offer the highest renovation potential. After evaluating a property portfolio, the software creates digital building models and recommends practical retrofit measures designed to improve energy efficiency while maintaining financial viability.
The platform also supports customers throughout the grant application process by identifying available public funding opportunities.
Fuchs & Eule uses AI to analyze building portfolios and prioritize assets that could deliver the greatest improvement through renovation.
For example, an office building with a low energy rating can be assessed to determine which upgrades would improve its efficiency while minimizing renovation costs. The platform also identifies subsidies that may help finance the project.
Rather than focusing only on ESG reporting, the company aims to convert building data into actionable renovation plans that property owners can implement.
The market for AI-powered building efficiency platforms is becoming increasingly competitive.
Companies such as BuildingMinds provide ESG data management and retrofit recommendations for institutional property owners, while Briink focuses on AI-powered ESG data extraction and sustainability reporting.
Fuchs & Eule differentiates itself by combining building engineering expertise with AI to produce renovation recommendations tailored to each property's technical and financial requirements.
Isabelle Canu, Partner at GET Fund, said the company stands out by translating building physics into renovation measures that make both environmental and economic sense.
SET Ventures Partner Till Stenzel added that improving existing buildings represents one of Europe's largest opportunities for reducing carbon emissions.
The company plans to invest the new funding in expanding its AI technologies, portfolio screening tools, and personalized renovation recommendations.
Since its launch, Fuchs & Eule says it has completed more than 10,000 building analyses covering over five million square meters of real estate. According to the company, its projects have helped reduce an average of 21.6 tonnes of CO₂ emissions per building each year.
The startup has not disclosed its total funding to date.
Europe's building retrofit market continues to expand as governments tighten energy regulations and property owners prepare for mandatory upgrades. While AI can improve planning and decision-making, the broader pace of renovation will also depend on the availability of skilled labor, financing, and construction capacity.
