Proxy typologies – quick and easy shortcut for unknown constructions
Proxy typologies – quick and easy shortcut for unknown constructions When planning the energy efficiency of the climate shell of an older building, it is not particularly certain that you know how external walls, roofs, etc. are built up. Visually, it is impossible to determine, and drawings or other documents that could reveal how the […]
Energy renovation with the climate shell at the centre
Energy renovation with the climate shell at the centre Properties can be made more energy efficient essentially in two different ways: through building- or installation technology, and usually both ways are combined. In this blog post, we concentrate on building engineering improvements. Why invest in the climate shell? Energy-efficient properties are well-insulated and airtight. This […]

EU directive on energy use in buildings – What’s going on?
EU directive on energy use in buildings – What’s going on? The European Union has strong ambitions in terms of sustainability and climate adaptation. Overall, this is formulated in the EU’s climate law from 2021. The law establishes the Union’s goal for Europe’s economy and society to become climate-neutral by the year 2050. In addition, […]
Profitable energy renovation – new calculation tool In BIM Energy Renovation
Profitable energy renovation – new calculation tool In BIM Energy Renovation In BIM Energy Evaluation, there are two methods for assessing the economic consequences of renovation, measures proposed by the user to reduce energy use in a building. With these methods, payback time or energy savings cost (or both) are calculated. The payback time speaks […]
