Innova is Latin for "renew." Our mission is to create and preserve affordable energy-efficient housing while contributing to the sustainable redevelopment of transitional neighborhoods.

Innova has the following focus areas:

PROJECT MANAGEMENT: Innova serves as the Owner’s Representative in the design and construction of multifamily housing and commercial developments advancing practices that improve resource efficiency, component durability, and systems maintainability.

BUILDING SERVICES:

General Contracting: The preservation of existing housing is an Innova forte. Innova performs building retrofits, design-build capital improvements and full scale renovations in occupied multifamily developments to facilitate the redevelopment and preservation of affordable housing without resident relocation.

Building Performance Services: Innova’s core expertise is in understanding the needs of existing buildings, performing energy audits and devising smart retrofit strategies for increasing building efficiency, enhancing resident comfort and safety, and preserving affordable housing for the long term. Innova also provides Energy Star Modeling and QA Services for housing development projects.

Building Failure Investigations:   Innova investigates and solves building failures, helping owners avoid costly expenditures for misguided repairs.  Innova's instrument-guided methods produce findings that allow owners to confidently understand the causes of building failures before they make a significant capital investment in a solution. Innova also performs Capital Needs Assessments to assess building conditions and identify capital improvement investment priorities.

NEIGHBORHOOD REDEVELOPMENT: Innova’s development arm, Innova Redevelopment, LLC is working to reclaim and improve existing affordable housing in transitional communities, including Innova’s own South Philadelphia neighborhood.  Innova self-performs the construction for its own redevelopment projects.

HOUSING RESEARCH:  Innova performs real world, project-based research to effect changes in policy on affordable housing preservation, development, and to develop sustainable, repeatable and persistently effective building retrofit strategies.
