01 · Envelope01

Develop component layers as one continuous system

Materials, junctions and use determine how heat, moisture and sound move through the building.

Engineering focusEnvelope & conditions
  • Set realistic internal and external conditions
  • Identify critical junctions early
02 · Heat02

Make energy flows visible and controllable

Heat loss, surface temperatures and thermal bridges are assessed and optimised through construction details.

Engineering focusThermal performance
  • Consider energy and comfort together
  • Minimise thermal bridges in details
03 · Moisture03

Design assemblies for durable, damage-free performance

Diffusion, condensation and driving rain are controlled through layer sequence, junctions and ventilation concept.

Engineering focusMoisture protection
  • Avoid condensation and mould risk
  • Secure long-term material compatibility
04 · Sound04

Separate transmission paths and reduce them deliberately

Airborne sound, impact sound and plant noise are influenced through mass, isolation and junction design.

Engineering focusAcoustic performance
  • Limit flanking transmission through detailing
  • Translate use requirements into assemblies
05 · Balance05

Combine compliance and comfort in one solution

Energy, hygrothermal and acoustic requirements are coordinated, documented and carried through to the details.

Engineering focusVerification & detailing
  • Resolve conflicts between disciplines
  • Deliver verifiable and buildable outcomes
Service profile

Building physics: thermal & acoustic design

Building-physics requirements affect comfort, energy demand, component build-ups and approvals. Verification is coordinated early with structure and use so technical requirements form part of a coherent overall design.
