Presentation at the World Sustainable Energy Days
Key note speech about energy efficient industrial buildings at the World Sustainable Energy Days (WSED)

Research & Development

Our close relation to several universities enables us applying research findings for commercial building solutions.

We support the industry in developing energy efficient and low carbon building concepts, sustainable components and software applications. Cost-effectiveness is key for all scope of our work.

Our Focus in Research:

  • Energy efficiency and nearly zero-energy solutions for industrial buildings
  • Building energy simulation methods for practicle applications
  • Innovative retrofitting solutions such as interior insulation
  • Bespoke energy and building solutions for several climate zones

In numerous publications, talks and trainings we share our knowledge and research outcomes with practitioners, students and the industry.
