CONCEPT
- energy and indoor climate concepts
- environmental sustainable design
- indoor environment design
- sustainability and economic studies
what we did : concepts
|
We integrate energy and climate aspects in
architecture from the masterplan to the building scale to achieve
outstanding design solutions right from inception. The objectives of our
work include not only low-energy to plus-energy performance and carbon
neutrality, but also improved occupants health, satisfaction and
productivity.
We deliver designs for buildings, sites and neighborhoods that respond to
the local conditions, as well to the challenges of our time, and that
achieve high user value and improved functional and economic performance.

DESIGN
- energy design consulting
- technical building services design
- building physics
- computational simulation
- certification consulting
(e.g. LEED, Energy Passport)
what we did
: design
|
We design advanced energy systems in buildings: innovative façades
and building envelopes, solar energy for heat and electricity as well as
for solar cooling, geothermal applications and combined
heating-cooling-power supply. Our services also include building physics -
thermal optimization, humidity, acoustics, light, airflow - for functional
performance and improved comfort quality.

OPERATION
- monitoring and evaluation
- post-occupancy evaluation
- operational optimization
- commissioning
- energy controlling
what we did : operation
|
“Ultimately, the critical factor is whether
the building is managed correctly. Our research indicates that this is where
the most serious deficiencies are and that it is the area with the greatest
energy-saving potential” (Prof. M.N. Fisch).
We optimize the operation of buildings with conventional and advanced
systems to achieve the best performance and optimal value for our clients.
