In detail

​

By incorporating building physics and acoustics considerations early on, significant project optimizations can be implemented during the concept phase, thus avoiding complex and technically demanding implementation details in later planning phases. In addition to creating added value in terms of comfort, this can also efficiently reduce construction costs.

We plan construction projects with qualified expertise and many years of experience.

Heat & moisture protection

The correct design of a building's thermal envelope is a prerequisite for the efficient use of heating and cooling energy. We optimize the interaction of thermal insulation, transparent components, solar shading, thermal mass, and ventilation. The goal is always to create comfortable conditions year-round with the lowest possible energy consumption.

Moisture protection

Water is the element of life—not only for humans, but also for mold, algae, and lichen. The presence of these microbial contemporaries in buildings poses a threat to both human health and the durability of structures. Using detailed hygrothermal simulation methods, we ensure that critical levels of humidity do not accumulate on the surfaces and inside structures, so that people feel comfortable in buildings and mold stays outside.

Building acoustics

Building acoustics examines the transmission of sound between rooms. Soundproofing tailored to a specific situation is rarely a one-size-fits-all solution; it requires integrated concepts and coordinated planning across multiple disciplines. We support you in selecting suitable systems and developing customized design details. We oversee construction and measure the results after completion. During renovations, we identify existing acoustic weak points and transmission paths to develop appropriate solutions.

Room acoustics

As an invisible quality feature, the acoustics of a room are a crucial factor for the health, performance, and well-being of its occupants. Where many people are active simultaneously, mutual interference and a lack of discretion can occur. Analyzing these conditions always proves cost-effective. Using acoustic simulation, we optimize speech intelligibility, level reduction, and reverberation time for the specific use, making the effect of measures audible even during the planning phase (auralization). We utilize state-of-the-art measurement technology for quality assurance.

Noise protection

Noise from traffic and technical systems spreads outdoors and – sooner or later – reaches the points of emission. The intensity of this noise impact determines the appropriate floor plan design and the acoustic dimensioning of the exterior components of each building. At the same time, noise emissions from the building's own systems must be limited to a level that does not cause excessive noise pollution to neighboring buildings. 3D acoustic models can be used to reliably simulate sound propagation outdoors and the effectiveness of noise abatement measures. For existing noise sources, noise measurements can also provide information about expected emissions. Based on this information, any necessary noise abatement measures can be optimally designed.
