Modern transparent architecture demands simple, intelligent climatisation concepts, in order to allow environmentally compatible buildings with high user comfort combined with low investment and operating costs and high functionality.

Building climatology supports the architect in achieving a comfortable building climate together with an energy-saving structural design. Here the primary emphasis is on providing maximum protection against external factors by means of passive measures concerning the building construction, such as glazed facades, storage masses and so on. Another essential aspect is the utilisation of natural resources, such as natural light, natural ventilation, solar heating and geothermal heat.

Building climatology represents the link between the various design disciplines, and it pursues an integral design approach that focuses on the complex interactions among the facade, the building`s structure and the technical plants of the building. This objective is supported by a variety of simulation tools.

Building climatology consulting yields an optimal overall solution that is adjusted to the particular building project and its specific requirements. It allows to achieve a high degree of design reliability, thereby supporting the realisation of ecological building concepts.
