Building Services Engineering

We provide a holistic and coordinated design for the technical disciplines mechanical, electrical and plumbing. We can design based on German standards or incorporate reasonable German design standards to avoid typical operation problems in China such as hydraulic problems or simply blocked toilets and smelly restrooms. Our added values: German engineering know-how, less design interfaces = less coordination effort, less failure possibilities, maximum design quality and economic design basis which minimizes the future construction and operation cost.

We develop well-balanced and economic energy- and room climate concepts, using state of the art simulation tools. Our services: low simulations for atriums and natural ventilation, solar radiation simulations on facades, thermal simulations to assess comfort levels and energy demand and wind and daylight simulations. Our added values:high comfort levels, low operating costs, with clear future energy, CO2 and cost savings, fact-based decision making, reduced invest and maintenance-friendly design using passive low-tech solutions.

We cover a wide range of certification systems as LEED, DGNB, WELL, BREEAM and Chinese Green Building Label. Our licensed experts in China and in Germany cover both district and city levels. In the circular economy, we are a leading the industry with Cradle to Cradle© and our subsidiary EPEA, founded by Prof. Michael Braungart, the inventor of C2C. Our added values:in-depth competence in DGNB as founding member, holistic sustainability design and consulting considering all sustainable development goals and best cost efficiency with our planning and project management experience.

Our services: development and assessment of carbon saving measures, low carbon energy concept for operational CO2 efficiency, consulting on materials and suppliers regarding embodied CO2, develop a carbon metering concept for carbon emissions during operation, implementation support and verification during early operation and further optimization. Our added values: tailor-made solutions to reduce carbon emission, analysis on both operational carbon and embodied carbon on the project and aximum sustainability value for invested budget.

We translate in-depth technical issues into issues you can understand. We explain pros and cons of any alternative, and thus enable to make the right decision at the right time. With our professional value engineering, we squeeze for you the most out of your investment, and we safeguard your interests in the project. Our added values: well-informed decision making, technical expertise wherever and whenever it is needed, valuable know-how through experience of numerous projects, off-site and on-site support and maximized value for the invest.

We provide an independent testing of the buildings’ equipment and systems: performance tests, tests of overall control sequences, testing of redundancy and backup/emergency solutions and testing of safety relevant systems. Our added values: clarity about system functionality, independent opinion during acceptance phase, well-documented improvement of operation and energy optimizations.

Unfortunately, it is not uncommon that facilities begin to show operating problems some time after its acceptance. Regardless of being a design, a construct-ion, or an operational issue, and regardless which firm was previously involved: our experienced engineers help to sort out the problem and solve it. Our engineers can further instruct your team on how to operate your fixed facility properly. Our added values: solve building-technology related problems once and for all, measurement- and test documents as proof for potential claims and adjust the facility to prevent further wear out/ low efficiency operation.

We analyze the energy saving potential of your building on site and back in our office, in order to help you reduce your annual spending and ensure that all equipment is operating at peak performance. Our added values: measurable operating cost savings, energy saving and reduction of carbon emissions for greater sustainability, improved operation of your building and independent technical analysis of the buildings and the state of plant & equipment.

Nowadays we spend over 90 % of our time indoors! Buildings therefore must be both comfortable and healthy & safe. We offer building ecology services: individual consultation on indoor air quality (keyword: PM 2.5), advise on healthy materials with the Cradle to Cradle (C2C) framework and noise and acoustic consulting. Our added values: healthy indoor environment, comfortable indoor climate, tangible sustainability, product-independent, objective recommendations and higher productivity with satisfied occupants and users.

BIM (Building Information Modelling) is the digitization of the whole project! Our Services: BIM Consulting/ Managing, BIM Coordination, BIM Modeling 3D Scanning of existing structures (in absence of as-built, for tight space management, for target-fact tracking) and 7D-Planning incl. LCM Digital BIM to FM – the BIM model for digital operations.
