Energy-Efficient Window Retrofit Solutions
Renovate by Berkowitz has pioneered an innovative window retrofit system that transforms aging single-pane windows into high-performance, energy-efficient solutions. Founded on decades of expertise from J.E. Berkowitz, a company established in 1920, our patented technology addresses the critical need for sustainable building upgrades without the disruption or cost of full window replacement. Our team combines deep industry knowledge with a commitment to environmental stewardship, delivering solutions that reduce energy consumption, enhance occupant comfort, and preserve architectural integrity. Through rigorous third-party testing and a certified installer network, we ensure every project meets exacting standards for thermal performance, noise reduction, and security. Backed by successful implementations across diverse commercial propertiesfrom historic buildings to modern office spaceswe provide measurable energy savings that directly improve net operating income for property owners.Our approach aligns with LEED certification requirements, offering clients a pathway to sustainability while maintaining cost-effectiveness. With leadership that includes third-generation industry veterans and specialists in energy-efficient technologies, we bring both heritage and innovation to every retrofit project. Our client-centric philosophy prioritizes minimal disruption during installation, ensuring seamless integration with existing tenant operations. By focusing on holistic energy management, we help architects, property managers, and energy service companies achieve long-term efficiency goals. This combination of technical expertise, environmental responsibility, and operational excellence positions us as a trusted partner for commercial window retrofits nationwide.

Services
Window Retrofitting
Our patented retrofit system converts single-pane windows into triple-glazed insulated units without exterior modifications. This process maintains building aesthetics while improving thermal performance by 20%+ and reducing HVAC loads. Ideal for commercial structures 30-60 years old, the solution minimizes tenant disruption through interior installation.
Energy Efficiency Solutions
We deliver measurable energy consumption reductions through high-performance low-e glass coatings that work year-round. Our system lowers heating costs in cold climates and cooling demands in warm regions while maintaining historic building integrity. Third-party testing validates energy savings exceeding traditional window films.
Noise Reduction Systems
The retrofit system improves sound transmission class (STC) ratings from 30 to 37, significantly reducing exterior noise. This benefits urban commercial properties near transportation corridors by creating quieter interior environments without compromising window functionality or aesthetics.
LEED Certification Support
Our retrofit solutions contribute to LEED requirements by reducing energy consumption and construction waste. The system avoids demolition landfill waste through interior installation, supporting sustainability goals while providing minimum 4 qualifying points toward certification for commercial properties.
Commercial Window Insulation
Factory-made insulated glass units (IGUs) create hermetic seals that improve thermal efficiency without altering existing window frames. This addresses comfort issues in older buildings while enhancing security and reducing maintenance costs through durable, long-lasting window performance upgrades.

Questions
What is the Renovate window retrofit system?
Our patented system converts existing single-pane windows into energy-efficient triple-glazed units without exterior modifications, preserving building aesthetics while improving thermal performance.
How does this compare to window replacement?
Our solution costs less than full replacement, avoids demolition waste, and installs from the interior with minimal tenant disruption while providing superior energy savings over window films.
Can it help with LEED certification?
Yes, our system contributes to LEED requirements by reducing energy consumption and construction waste, qualifying for minimum 4 certification points.
What noise reduction benefits exist?
Improves sound transmission class (STC) ratings from 30 to 37, significantly reducing exterior noise in urban commercial environments without compromising window functionality.
Which buildings benefit most?
Commercial structures 30-60 years old with single-pane windows seeking energy efficiency improvements while maintaining historic preservation standards or minimizing tenant disruption.
How long does installation take?
Project timelines vary by building size but typically complete faster than full replacements since installations occur from interior without requiring tenant relocation.
