The influence of technical building equipment in the construction of buildings - in terms of CO₂ emissions - has so far only been taken into account to a very limited extent. Despite all the complexity in accounting for actual emissions, this should change urgently.

To paraphrase Hans-Joachim Schellnhuber: the next elephant in the climate room?

Finaaaaale! We are proud to announce that the jury of the German Sustainability Award has placed us as one of three architectural firms on the shortlist of the most sustainable companies in Germany in the Architecture & Civil Engineering category.
