Energy concepts

How much could your building save with new equipment? We calculate it before you invest: a direct comparison of condensing boilers, heat pumps, CHP, pellets or photovoltaics.

Comparison of options

Many possibilities. One clear recommendation.

We combine technologies where it makes sense and agree the selection with you. We examine the most promising options, for example five, in detail.

Possible components

  • Condensing boiler
  • Cascade of condensing boilers
  • Air-to-water heat pump
  • Domestic hot water heat pump
  • Geothermal energy
  • Pellet boiler
  • Combined heat and power unit
  • Photovoltaics & storage
  • Local heat network

Process

Three steps to a decision

  1. 01

    Preliminary assessment

    We analyse your consumption, establish actual heat and energy demand, and identify opportunities for savings and greater efficiency.

  2. 02

    Model the options

    Together we select the most promising options. We examine feasibility, space requirements and installation locations, and calculate investment and operating costs.

  3. 03

    Evaluate & decide

    Economic viability under VDI 2067, primary energy and CO₂, funding eligibility and risks feed into a decision matrix with a clear recommendation.

Processing time: depends on scope. For a residential development with several buildings, for example, around eight weeks from commissioning.

Your result

What you receive at the end

  • Decision matrix with the advantages and disadvantages of each option
  • Economic comparison in accordance with VDI 2067
  • Primary energy demand and CO₂ emissions for each option
  • Simplified hydraulic schematic for each option
  • Assessment of possible funding programmes
  • Clear recommendation for your investment
No duplicated steps. If the design is subsequently commissioned, the energy concept replaces HOAI service phases 1 and 2.
