Hygrothermy<\/h3><\/header>[vc_column_text css=””]Hygrothermal simulations provide insight into the moisture and temperature behaviour of building structures over an extended period. By analysing heat and moisture transport together, renovation strategies can be assessed and optimised before implementation. These simulations help to reduce the risk of moisture damage, mould growth and material degradation. In addition, they enable the impact of climate change and changing conditions of use on existing and new structures to be evaluated, providing a sound basis for sustainable and future proof interventions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1541584821670{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”8281″ img_size=”full” css=””][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1513720913586{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-right: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 80px !important;padding-left: 100px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1541584821670{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”8284″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeIn” css=”.vc_custom_1765970791502{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1541584818078{padding-right: 20px !important;}”]

Energy<\/h3><\/header>[vc_column_text css=””]Energy simulations provide insight into the energy consumption and thermal comfort of buildings over time. They make it possible to objectively compare and optimize various renovation and design scenarios. In this way, these simulations support informed decisions regarding insulation, airtightness, building systems, and sunshading. By also factoring in future climate scenarios, they provide a solid foundation for energy-efficient, comfortable, and future-oriented buildings.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1734104479241{background-color: #FFFFFF !important;border-color: #FFFFFF !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1734104468330{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-right: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 80px !important;padding-left: 100px !important;background-color: #FFFFFF !important;border-color: #FFFFFF !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1541584818078{padding-right: 20px !important;}”]

Sustainability<\/h3><\/header>[vc_column_text css=””]Life cycle assessments (LCA) provide insight into the environmental impact of buildings and materials over their entire lifespan. They allow for an objective comparison of design and renovation options in terms of, among other things, material use, energy consumption, and emissions. Since these analyses are increasingly becoming mandatory for new construction, they serve as an essential tool for implementing sustainable, evidence-based, and forward-looking solutions.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1541584821670{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”8287″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeIn” css=”.vc_custom_1765970860746{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1513720913586{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-right: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 80px !important;padding-left: 100px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1541584821670{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”8290″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeIn” css=”.vc_custom_1765970959593{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1541584818078{padding-right: 20px !important;}”]

Wind and Rain Simulations<\/h3><\/header>[vc_column_text css=””]CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations provide detailed insights into airflow and wind behavior around buildings with specific architectural elements, in both open and urban environments. They make it possible to accurately map local wind loads, driving rain, and dry conditions. These insights are essential for better understanding the moisture behavior of facades, assessing the risk of moisture damage, and providing a sound basis for design or renovation decisions.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1669214936865{background-color: #f5f5f5 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1542887413498{padding-top: 150px !important;padding-bottom: 150px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_custom_heading text=”Questions or plans?
