FIROTHERM Retrofit

The FIROTHERM technology has the potential to unlock the retrofit market as a function of turning the process itself into a product. 

Upgrade Smarter with FIROTHERM

Healthier indoor environments

FIROTHERM panels create an airtight envelope that helps improve indoor air quality and maintain comfortable temperatures. This means fewer drafts, reduced outdoor pollutants, and a healthier, more comfortable space for tenants.

Increase building resilience

FIROTHERM adds a resilient outer shell to your building, strengthening it against heavy storms, moisture, and temperature extremes. This improves structural durability and reduces long-term maintenance needs.

Lower your carbon footprint

Built with carbon-smart materials, FIROTHERM supports low-emission goals by improving thermal performance and enabling cleaner energy use. It’s a future-forward solution for sustainable retrofits.

Direct economic benefits

FIROTHERM’s high-performance panels reduce energy loss by sealing the building envelope. This lowers heating and cooling demands, directly cutting monthly utility costs.

Increase Property Value

Retrofitting with FIROTHERM enhances building performance, comfort, and appearance. This leads to higher property values, improved tenant satisfaction, and stronger returns for owners and investors.

Tenant-friendly installation

FIROTHERM installs externally, allowing upgrades to happen without disturbing occupants. That means no need for relocation, no lost rent, and a smoother retrofit process from start to finish.

Retrofit Demand on the Rise: Local Law 97

To combat high Greenhouse Gas emissions, the New York City Council implemented Local Law 97 in 2019, setting energy standards to buildings larger than 25,000 square feet, along with penalties for those who fail to meet the caps. This law requires Greenhouse Gas emissions to be lower by 40% before 2030 and 80% by 2050.

To avoid penalties, carbon intensive buildings will require deep energy retrofits. There exists a lack of proven solutions to meet future demand, there is no existing cost-effective solution with Local Law 97 driving up the market need.


Firomar’s breakthrough low costs will enable New York City to begin retrofit pilot projects, and have building owners adhere to Local Law 97.

FIROTHERM: A Breakthrough in Retrofit Innovation

Across the U.S., there has been a critical gap in the building industry: no domestic manufacturer has offered a high-performance exterior envelope solution for retrofit applications—until now.

FIROTHERM was developed to fill this gap. Designed specifically for the North American market, FIROTHERM is a cost-effective, panelized exterior retrofit system that raises the standard for energy efficiency, speed, and scalability in building upgrades.

Firomar is leading the charge to transform how buildings are renovated, offering a standardized, scalable retrofit solution that can be applied across multiple building types with minimal disruption.

This isn’t just a product, it’s a shift in how we think about retrofitting. FIROTHERM has the potential to disrupt and modernize an outdated market, delivering measurable benefits to building owners, tenants, and investors alike.

Sustainability of Retrofitting

Approximately 1/3 of greenhouse gas emissions come from existing buildings. 70% of these buildings are expected to still be standing in 2050.

We are unable to address climate change without shifting our focus to our current structures.

Firomar provides a solution that helps bring existing buildings to net-zero emissions.

Retrofitting is the solution, and Firomar is here to get us there.

FIROTHERM panels integrate structure, insulation, and cladding support in a single factory process. This is unmatched in thermal and structural efficiency.

The patent-pending FIROTHERM overburden creates a thermally-broken, monolithic lightweight panel, while achieving necessary r-values.

After the Energiesprong initiative in Holland, North America began to follow suit with Retrofit NY, RMI, Retrofit Canada, and many more. Firomar’s technology was specifically designed in Europe, modeled after exterior building envelope systems there, with the North American market in mind. The European systems work for smaller structures, but in America we needed a more versatile solution.

The American market needed something that could be used  on anything from a single-family home to a 70 story structure; hence the commissioning of the bespoke Firomar machinery. 

FIROTHERM panels are attached to the existing building exterior. There is no need for demolition; causing minimal tenant disruption during construction. 

  • Specially made for the American market, following the initiatives being taken in Europe.
  • Minimal tenant disruption during construction due to the effortless assembly of FIROTHERM panels
  • FIROTHERM panels are the most versatile system in the industry; providing a flexible open design for architects, while saving money and time on any project.
