Cologne and Berlin-based PropTech company Lumoview Building Analytics GmbH has successfully completed a Seed financing round and secured a VC investment of €3 million to further accelerate the transformation toward energy-efficient and sustainable buildings.
The round saw participation from notable players in the field of sustainable and digital transformation, such as Greencode Ventures, IBB Ventures, and WakeUp Capital. €2.5 million grant funding awarded last year by the European Commissionʼs EIC Accelerator programme – this brings the total available funding to over €5.5 million.
“This substantial funding enables us to significantly grow our team, further automate our solution, and scale it across Europe. In doing so, weʼre building the digital foundation to make building retrofits far more efficient – delivering a scalable contribution to greater sustain ability in the building sector. Weʼre grateful for the trust placed in us by both new and existing investors,“ said Dr -Ing. Silvan Siegrist, Commercial Managing Director & Co-founder, Lumoview.
Founded in 2019, Lumoview is a technology startup with a team of 34 people, that captures and processes building data quickly and digitally. The company was founded by Prof Dr-Ing. Bernhard Hoffschmidt, Dr.-Ing. Arne Tiddens and Dr-Ing. Silvan Siegrist.
“Greencode Ventures is thrilled to lead Lumoview’s Seed round, backing a transformative blend of hardware and software that addresses the urgent need for decarbonisation and digitalisation in the building sector. Lumoview’s founding team brings an exceptional combination of deep technical expertise and profound sector insight, which uniquely positions them to reshape the industry,” shared Ines Bergmann-Nolting, Managing Partner, Greencode Ventures.
As a spin-off of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), Lumoview leverages advanced imaging and sensor technologies from energy research to measure buildings in “record time with exceptional ease“. Using a unique combination of mobile hardware and intelligent software, building data is captured in just 2 seconds per room. This data is then automatically transformed into floor plans, 3D models, and thermal analyses, and made available via a central cloud platform.
“Lumoviewʼs intelligent end-to-end solution – from data capture and processing to delivery – impressed us just as much as their innovative team. We believe Lumoview will play a key role in driving the digital transformation of the construction industry, and weʼre excited to be part of their journey,” said Sabine Wolff, Senior Investment Manager, IBB Ventures.
With the fresh capital, Lumoview will further advance the automation of its technology and accelerate growth in Germany and across Europe.
The goal is to provide property owners, energy consultants, and renovation experts with an efficient digital data foundation for retrofitting existing buildings – a key lever for reducing CO₂ emissions in the building stock.
“At WakeUp Capital, we back founders building scalable solutions for climate resilience and equity. Lumoviewʼs platform unlocks a critical bottleneck in Europeʼs energy transition — enabling faster, data-driven renovations that reduce emissions, lower energy costs, and support more inclusive access to sustainable housing,” added Mark Peters, Co-founder and Managing Partner, WakeUp Capital.
