Building physics

 

Independent consulting for ecologically and physically innovative building projects

As a technical office for technical physics, we prepare all necessary building physics certificates and calculations for submission of building applications according to legal regulations and standards in Austria. From the competition to the planning and execution phase up to the adjustment of the building services we advise you for passive houses and plus energy houses.

For multi-storey residential buildings and public buildings, for schools and hospitals, we offer support for healthy and ecological building and living. Holistic analysis and overall concepts for small and large construction projects include thermal building simulations in order to realise technologically and ecologically innovative projects.

  • Calculate thermal insulation in summer and winter
  • Calculate sound insulation Calculate and measure Energy certificate
  • Calculate, optimise, test in operation.

Quality assurance for building projects

We offer tender criteria and review the construction work to ensure that your building project goes to plan.  Blower door test to guarantee airtightness, a harmful substance measuring package, sound measurements, etc...

Sound measurements

Homes should offer tranquillity. We measure the impact and airborne noise of partition components as well as noise exposure created by building service systems. In addition, we also carry out noise immission measurements indoors and outdoors.

An ambitious renovation minimises energy consumption for operations and provides fresh air for the children of Ziersdorf: With 20 centimetres of thermal insulation, new windows with triple glazing, a pellet boiler instead of electric heating, a central ventilation system, optimisation of the lighting and a photovoltaic power plant with 20 kWp, the building constructed in 1974 was upgraded.

The exact description of this model renovation can be found on the service page of the Climate and Energy Fund, with whose help the sustainable conversion succeeded.

There are generous subsidies for model renovations like the Ziersdorf primary school.

Optimised building physics with a passive house consultancy, building product management and the submission to klimaaktiv achieved 953 points for the primary school and 969 points for the gymnasium and thus klimaaktiv gold, which means increased funding from the Climate and Energy Fund.

A klimaaktiv Gold sample refurbishment of AH3, which came about with the help of IBO building physics and IBO building assessment.
