RO-Gruppen and Fasadgruppen enter partnership to accelerate the transition to energy-efficient buildings

RO-Gruppen recently launched its new energy renovation concept.
It is now confirmed that, through a partnership agreement with Fasadgruppen, the company will be able to offer the patented SmartFront method for energy renovations of multi-family buildings.

Together, the companies are prepared to assist customers in transitioning to energy-efficient properties that comply with stricter EU directives, reduce energy consumption, and lower operating costs.

EU’s new Energy Performance Directive (EPBD) sets stricter energy efficiency requirements for buildings

The EU has decided on a new Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), introducing stricter requirements to limit energy consumption in existing buildings. Properties account for up to 40% of total energy use, making them a major factor in climate impact.

By focusing on energy renovations, we can contribute to achieving Sweden’s and the EU’s goals of reducing primary energy use by 16% by 2030 and 20–22% by 2035. Additionally, we help property owners lower operating costs, preserve property value, and reduce climate impact by decreasing energy demand.

“We are very pleased to add Fasadgruppen’s patented method to our offering. This opens up new opportunities to help our customers comply with the new EU directives while also reducing both climate impact and costs,” says Magnus Lindberg, Business Area Manager at RO-Gruppen Koncept AB.

With Fasadgruppen’s patented method, RO-Gruppen can significantly reduce a building’s energy consumption while improving indoor comfort for residents. The property receives a new building envelope, and no tenant evacuation is required since the majority of the work is carried out on the facade.

“We have seen a growing demand for some time now and are looking forward to our collaboration with RO-Gruppen, which has a strong brand and is a highly respected contractor,” says Stefan Forsberg, Product Manager for SmartFront and Sales Manager at Fasadgruppen.

“We have carefully considered how RO-Gruppen can contribute to accelerating the transition, and our investment in the Energy Renovation Process, along with this collaboration with Fasadgruppen and SmartFront, feels very promising. Here, two major players are joining forces to tackle one of society’s biggest challenges—together, we can make a real difference,” says Leif Ahlberg, CEO of RO-Gruppen.

The patented method that we are now introducing to the market is a key component in building an efficient energy renovation process. Alongside our partners, we can offer a comprehensive solution—from identifying the most profitable properties for energy renovation, providing tailored action plans for each building, executing the renovation, and ultimately helping customers achieve a better energy classification.
