From assets to buildings: how to digitize real estate investment while managing energy renovation

Digitalization of club deals, tokenization, ESG requirements, DPE pressure on the building... Real estate investment is no longer just a matter of “good deals”: you have to master the structuring, the investor experience and the energy trajectory of assets.

‍

Two bricks can complement each other perfectly in this logic:

• Fraktion, a white label solution dedicated to the digitalization of real estate investment: creation and management of SPVs and club deals, online collection and subscription, complete operational management of projects, and integrated blockchain infrastructure for the tokenization of financial assets and securities.

• Kelvin°, AI of energy renovation which generates, from a simple address, quantified work scenarios and remote energy studies, already used by rental investment platforms, property managers and agencies.
  

For an actor who structures deals or an investment platform, the challenge becomes: digitize the investment vehicle... and objectify the energy quality of the underlying asset.

1. Fraktion: launch its white label real estate investment platform

1.1. An infrastructure for club deals and investment vehicles

Fraktion offers a white label solution that allows:

• management companies,
  
• real estate,
  
• property dealers,
  
• advice/family offices/CGP,
  

of launch their own real estate investment platform and to structure club deals or other vehicles, under their brand.

The platform manages all the project life cycle :

• collecting : investor onboarding, KYC/KYB, online subscription, payments,
  
• managerial : investor area, monitoring of participations, reporting, documents,
  
• distribution : rent flows, dividends, repayments, capital gains.
  

The objective: to go from an “Excel + emails + PDFs” assembly to a solid and scalable infrastructure, without developing its technology internally.

1.2. Tokenization & Real World Assets (RWA)

Fraktion goes further with an infrastructure based on Blockchain :

• tokenization of participations (RWA, Real World Assets),
  
• monitoring investors and flows on a secure technological basis,
  
• regulatory compliance integrated into the core of the platform.
  

Result for the operator:

• launch of new vehicles swifter,
  
• Investor experience digital and fluid,
  
• ability to send various tickets (from private investors to family offices) with the same technological base.

2. kelvin°: objectifying and industrializing the energy renovation of assets

2.1. An AI generating energy studies

On the other side of the chain, the fundamental question remains:

‍

“Are the assets I put in my vehicles energetically solid ? What is their renovation potential and with what CAPEX?”

‍

That's exactly what the deal is about Kelvin°.

‍

Kelvin° is a AI generating energy studies Who:

• Starting from a simple address, retrieves and cross-references building and context data,
  
• Estimate it current energy performance good,
  
• generates 1 to 3 work scenarios relevant,
  
• Number one estimated budget And the DPE jump possible,
  
• highlights the available aids when it's relevant.
  

The solution is co-developed with the CSTB and other technical partners, and is already used by more than twenty players: rental investment platforms, property managers, real estate agencies, construction operators...

‍

2.2. A tool designed for massification

With the rise of regulations (DPE, energy audit, constraints on colanders, tertiary decree, etc.), professionals must industrialize the upstream phase:

• remotely and quickly assess the potential for renovation,
  
• prioritize operations (where to put CAPEX),
  
• produce clear files for investors, banks, owners.
  

kelvin° is used precisely to:

• standardize this stage on large volumes,
• without giving up scenarios customized by asset.

3. Why does it speak to club deal players and investment platforms

Les Real estate club deals make it possible to bring together a small number of investors (individuals, family offices, etc.) around a large-scale project that they could not finance alone.

With digitalization:

• Fraktion removes friction legal/operational/KYC/reporting,
  
• but assets remain at the heart of the value proposition.
  

However, investors are now paying attention to:

• The energy quality of the building,
  
• the DPE risk (E/F/G, rental bans, future cost of work),
  
• The ability to tell a true story thesis of value creation through renovation.
  

This is where kelvin° becomes complementary: it provides a Energy reading active ingredients that nourish:

• investment memos,
  
• investor documentation,
  
• follow-up over time.

4. Concrete use cases: Fraktion on the vehicle side, Kelvin° on the active side

4.1. Management company that launches a “value-add/energy renovation” offer

‍

A management company created, via Fraktion, a white label platform for:

• structure and manage its Club Deals Value-Add or other dedicated vehicle
  
• welcome its subscribers (online subscriptions, KYC, signatures),
  
• manage reporting and distribution in a dedicated back office
  

At the same time, it wants to position its range on:

“We buy assets to renovate, we create value by improving their energy performance.”

‍

With Kelvin° :

• each target asset is analyzed based on its address,
  
• Of energy work scenarios are generated (costs, gains, DPE skipping),
  
• the investment thesis may include a “energy renovation plan” component documented.
  

In the Fraktion platform, the company can:

• integrate extracts from these scenarios into the deal documentation (or in the data room),
  
• monitor, over time, the progress of the work and the evolution of energy performance to be communicated to investors.
  

4.2. Investment platform that wants to structure “ESG ready” products

‍

An existing platform (rental investment, real estate private equity, etc.) seeks to:

• Pass over a more robust technology (Fraktion white label),
  
• Strengthen sound ESG narrative with its investors.
  

She can:

1. Rely on Fraktion for:
   
   • launch thematic vehicles,
     
   • simplify legal and KYC processes,
     
   • offer a modern investor space.
     
2. Use Kelvin° for:
   
   • assess the energy trajectory of target assets,
     
   • Define DPE/energy savings KPIs to be continued,
     
   • integrate work scenarios into its impact reporting.

Result: The platform no longer simply says “well-located asset + return”, but can explain:

• where Is the building in terms of energy,
  
• how the value creation plan includes a measurable improvement in its performance.
  

4.3. Family office/co-investor club

A family office or a club of private investors wants to:

• launch your own club deals, under your brand (Fraktion tool),
  
• while controlling the long-term risk on the value of buildings (tool Kelvin°).
  

Possible approach:

• Fraktion serves as technological backbone for vehicles and investor relations,
  
• kelvin° is used upstream for energy screening and due diligence :
  
  • before entering into a deal,
    
  • or to arbitrate between several opportunities,

The combo makes it possible to professionalize:

• The structuring (Fraktion side),
• The Energy reading of assets (kelvin side).

‍

Conclusion: an investment chain that is truly aligned with the transition

Digitizing real estate investment is no longer enough: investors expect vehicles that integrate truly the challenges of energy transition.

• Fraktion Bring it Infrastructure brick :
  
  • a white label solution to launch its investment platform, structure SPV and club deals, orchestrate the entire life cycle (collection, management, distribution) and activate a blockchain layer to tokenize and secure participations.
    
• Kelvin° Bring it Asset/energy brick :
  
  • AI generating energy studies from an address, quantified work scenarios, aid, skipping DPE, already used by rental investment platforms and property managers to anticipate work and value E/F/G properties.
    

For a management company, a platform or an institutional investor, combining these two dimensions means going from: “We digitize collection and reporting” to: “We digitize collection and reporting” to: “We digitize collection and We pilot seriously the energy trajectory of assets.”
