Building Physics
Customised energy solutions for your property
Conserving resources and saving energy are sometimes the most important issues when it comes to planning and realising new construction projects.
With the help of our energy consulting services, we can offer you a wide range of expertise in these areas. Regardless of whether you are planning a small conversion or a site development, we will be happy to help you with our many years of experience in the conceptualisation and verification of energy-related measures.
We always endeavour to find the optimum balance between ecology and economy for your project. Naturally always in accordance with the official and cantonal requirements.
We work in a project-oriented manner to plan the thermal insulation of your building in the most energy-optimised, cost-effective and aesthetic way possible.
The energy-related weak points in the building envelope must also be carefully analysed in order to avoid structural damage later on. The influence of thermal bridges is also increasing, particularly because the demands on thermal insulation are becoming ever more stringent. These weak points can be analysed and assessed using 2D and 3D isotherm calculations. These calculation tools are indispensable, especially for refurbishment projects and special solutions.
Our competences in detail:
