The operating costs can be reduced to an absolute minimum and remain at a significantly lower level than any other energy standard can provide.
It is also possible to upgrade the performance of existing buildings significantly by using high performance elements, especially when combined with greening of the facade and roof area.
3D Planning Methods
Virtual walk-through.
Clients are enabled to understand the project immediately without any need to read plans at all. Long before execution, it is easy to check if the virtual model matches the expectations for the project.
This can be done by using the CAD-Software directly, at home using any web browser or by using 3D-PDF-files.
Experience the advantages of this innovative technology now in our architecture office in Würzburg.
