For pension funds, property funds & institutional investors
The asset class still missing from your portfolio.
Value retention is the new return argument.
Dezentrale Multi-Energie-Systeme // DMES
For you the emissions reduction pathway is mandatory, not optional.
Net zero targets, CO2 reporting and ESG ratings are part of the remit for institutional owners. At the same time the risk at the other end is growing. Properties that fail to meet the emissions reduction pathway lose value and lettability and become stranded assets. The solar obligation is putting PV on the roofs of your properties, while feeding in is barely worthwhile any more and negative feed-in prices are to be expected from 2027. Without storage your portfolio gives away its solar electricity. Long-duration storage is becoming the standard, and whoever does not have it will own the inferior property in ten years.
A system that upgrades your portfolio.
A DMES makes the emissions reduction pathway measurably achievable, property by property, and delivers reportable figures for your ESG reporting. It is the only large-scale storage system permitted inside an occupied building. Quiet, compliant with fire safety requirements and capable of being approved. And it is no niche technology. The National Research Programme “Energy” of the Swiss National Science Foundation states verbatim in its summary “Realise decentralised multi-energy systems (DMES)!”. At the same time it improves the earnings statement. Lower ancillary costs create room for higher net rents and raise the capitalised earnings value, on top of which come your own electricity tariffs and flexibility revenues. As a system that can be standardised, this scales across your entire portfolio. On request the system can be designed so that a building keeps being supplied during a grid outage, for days rather than just hours. A strong argument for letting and marketing that few existing properties can offer.

The figures behind it.
30+ years
Infrastructure character. A service life within the investment horizon of institutional owners, storage performance guaranteed by the manufacturer for 20 years.
Net zero
Measurable and reportable. The emissions reduction pathway is met property by property. From around 1000 tonnes of CO2 per year, state funding instruments become available.
70 to 90 %
Self-consumption within a ZEV. Achievable in mixed-use developments (“Areale und Quartiere”, 2024).
Since April 2024
Proven in live operation. The world's first building-integrated DMES installation runs at full load in Eich LU.
Under 10 years
Payback possible, under ideal conditions.
> 75 %
Overall efficiency. With coupled use of electricity and heat.
From portfolio risk to portfolio advantage.
Every property with a DMES meets the emissions reduction pathway, lowers energy costs and opens up new revenue sources. The refurbishment risk in the existing stock becomes a differentiator in the market, with tenants, with buyers and in the rating.
Built for institutional requirements.
Structured to be bankable.
Long-Term Service Agreements and performance commitments across the project term. Main components interchangeable across manufacturers instead of a single point of failure.
One partner for the entire portfolio.
System architecture, design and business models from eRevo, implemented with a coordinated partner ecosystem from components through contracting to conformity.
Proven in live operation.
The world premiere in Eich LU has been running at full load since April 2024. Delivered by the pioneer of decentralised multi energy systems in Europe, eRevo AG Energy Revolution.
The next step
Portfolio screening
We assess which of your properties are suitable for a DMES, based on PV potential, heat demand, grid situation and emissions reduction pathway. The result is a prioritised list of the sites where entry pays off first.
