Resscore Gmbh

What Resscore Gmbh does

ResScore GmbH is a German consulting and assessment firm founded in 2020 and headquartered in Kiel, with an additional office in Aachen. The company provides resource-score based building assessment, simplified life cycle analyses (Ökobilanzierungen), and advisory services focused on climate- and resource-efficient construction, primarily serving German municipalities and the construction and real estate sector. Its stated mission is to support the "Bauwende" (construction transition) by avoiding greenwashing and grounding assessments as close as possible to real consumption data, prioritizing directional reliability over decimal-point precision.

The product portfolio is anchored by a family of proprietary building scoring systems. The Resource-Score delivers simplified life cycle assessment and certification for climate- and resource-efficient buildings; the Energy-Score, Climate-Score, and Material-Score address energy performance, climate impact, and material efficiency respectively; the Health Score evaluates building health and well-being across parameters such as indoor air quality, radon, PM2.5, NO2, VOC, formaldehyde, thermal comfort, CO2, daylight, and sound insulation; and the Circularity Score assesses circular-economy performance and was co-developed with RWTH Aachen and FH Münster. These tools are delivered alongside decision-support services covering renovation-versus-demolition choices, planning of climate-friendly residential and commercial/industrial zones, and expert support for public tenders and competitions.

The business model is professional services: revenue is generated through direct consulting, public-tender and competition advisory, paid training and workshops, and participation in publicly funded applied research projects such as KREGI (climate and resource efficiency in commercial/industrial zones), Faktor X im Gewerbe, and the cross-border Healthy Building Movement (Interreg Germany-Netherlands). The company reaches customers via a sales-led motion built on workshops, webinars, keynote engagements, and direct consulting; no pricing, ARR, or external funding rounds are disclosed. ResScore is a private German GmbH, founder-controlled under managing director Klaus Dosch, with no parent company or external equity ownership indicated.

Core offering

ResScore GmbH provides resource-score based building assessment, simplified life cycle assessments (Ökobilanzierungen), and consulting services focused on climate- and resource-efficient construction. Core offerings include the proprietary Resource-Score building label, Circularity Score and Health Score assessment tools, and advisory support for renovation-versus-demolition decisions, climate-friendly construction zones, and tender/competition processes for municipalities and construction clients.

Product overview

Resscore GmbH operates as a consulting and assessment firm specializing in climate and resource protection in construction. Its portfolio consists of a unified platform of assessment tools and advisory services built around its core scoring systems. The central product is the Resource-Score, a building certification that uses simplified life cycle assessment (Ökobilanzierung) to evaluate and label buildings on climate and resource efficiency. Complementary to this, the company offers the Circularity Score (for circular economy assessment of buildings) and the Health Score (for building health and well-being quality, evaluating parameters such as outdoor air quality, radon, indoor temperature, PM2.5, NO₂, VOC, and formaldehyde). These scoring products are complemented by consulting services including life cycle assessments, renovation vs. demolition decision support, advisory for climate-friendly construction zones, expert support for tenders and competitions, and applied research projects such as KREGI (climate and resource efficiency in industrial zones) and Faktor X in Gewerbegebieten (resource efficiency multiplication in commercial zones). The company also delivers webinars and training events for municipalities and industry professionals.

• BBSR (Bundesinstitut für Bau-, Stadt- und Raumforschung): German federal government research institute for building, urban and spatial research. Comparable as a builder of frameworks and benchmarks influencing municipal building policy; ResScore's methodology development parallels BBSR's standard-setting role.

Emerging players
