Building Improvements for Beginners
This appears to be the name of a feature at the trade show, where those interested in starting building improvement/renovation projects can receive advice from exhibitors, along with a "Starterhilfe-Folder". See reference for more details (p. 8).

Getting started with a home upgrade
or 'Getting started with home improvements'; 'Upgrading homes: first steps'. I like 'upgrade' as it is often used in the context of increasing energy efficiency which is what this trade show is about.
I don't think there's any focus on novice customers and "launch" is too specific for our purposes. Also, the English equivalent would probably be less formal than the German in this context.

Discussion
I agree with Björn that "energetic" is a prime example of Denglish and should thus be avoided like the plague, as it were. In the title/motto above, how about putting "Energy efficiency upgrades - Getting started"?

Also refurbishment is not the same as renovation or retrofit:

In most cases, they're talking about a deep energy retrofit:

Best wishes
Energetic as a qualifier could also mean you go at it with a vengeance :-)
