MEP Solutions for
a green future

With zero-carbon emissions as our goal, we work as a team to drive a more sustainable future through innovative MEP project solutions. We design buildings and infrastructure that are energy-efficient, resource-conserving, and environmentally friendly, both in their construction and operation.

Our focus is on minimizing primary energy demand and reducing CO₂ emissions throughout the entire building lifecycle. By adopting a comprehensive approach, we lay the groundwork for sustainable energy concepts.

Sustainable MEP solutions

We work together with our clients to develop project-specific solutions for reducing CO₂ emissions with a holistic approach.

Holistic planning and building simulation

Comprehensive building and system simulations, supported by building physics and usage profiles, serve as the foundation for early analysis and the selection of system solutions. These analyses enable the assessment and evaluation of the building's thermal and energy behavior as well as its load requirements. This allows for the selection of optimally coordinated systems for the building that meet both energy requirements and user needs.

Integration of renewable energies and local resources

We analyze the potential of renewable energy sources such as photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, geothermal energy, biomass, hydrogen and wind power for our projects, as they are essential components of sustainable energy concepts. In addition, we systematically examine local sources and sinks, including waste heat from industrial plants, wastewater, rivers, lakes, and geothermal energy.The goal is to achieve climate-neutral operation and reduce peak loads to ensure energy efficiency and supply security.

Smart technologies and AI-driven optimization

In modern buildings, we implement intelligent automation systems and comprehensive energy and consumption monitoring. Building automation provides critical data on operational behavior for performance optimization and offers users valuable feedback on building performance. AI-powered analyses identify behavior and consumption patterns, uncover efficiency potential, and enable the continuous improvement of operations.

Resource saving and water management

In addition to energy efficiency, the sustainable management of drinking water resources is becoming increasingly important. Protecting the natural water cycle and reducing drinking water consumption are integral parts of our building concepts. Storage systems for rainwater and grey-water reuse help significantly reduce drinking water consumption.

Early integration of sustainable solutions

From the initial planning phases on, available and feasible technical measures for a sustainable building concept are evaluated and coordinated with the client in various options. This ensures that sustainability goals are integrated into the planning process from the very beginning, keeping the project future-proof in the long term.

“For me, sustainability in technical building services means developing energy-efficient, resource-conserving and environmentally friendly buildings. It is our responsibility to rethink projects in the long term and also for future generations.”

Martin Paprian

Managing Director

“For me, sustainable building design requires the right synergy between architecture and building technology, combined with innovations in building automation such as data analysis and self-learning AI systems.”

Project Manager / Deputy Division Manager for MSR

“With our sustainability team, we are developing methods to motivate colleagues to adopt more sustainable consumption, investment and mobility behavior, among other things.”

Valentine Dreyer

Division manager for ventilation

“We set the right course early on in the development of customized building concepts in order to reduce energy consumption and thus also the subsequent operating costs.”

Dominik Breitenbücher

Division manager for electrical engineering

“In terms of sustainability, we should think beyond building boundaries. The focus must be placed more on site/quarter solutions in order to make optimum use of resources.”
