Life-cycle based and integrative building design for new projects, renovations and buildings in operation. Going beyond the sustainability requirements, and developing regenerative solutions to achieve positive impact of buildings.

BUILDINGS

We develop integrative processes and solutions for sustainable and regenerative change in the built environment. We support building design processes with energy and comfort simulations, life-cycle assessments and implementation of rating system requirements. We develop decision support tools for deep energy retrofit projects – including key performance indicators and stakeholder engagement processes – to accelerate the decarbonisation of the existing building stock. Last, but not least, we bring our expertise to technology development research, especially focusing on innovative and smart facade solutions.
