Our Services

  • Building certification and design following the standard of Passive House Institute of Darmstadt, Germany

    The accredited Certifiers have extensive practical experience relating to Passive House buildings, supplemented by intensive training. They are contractually authorised by the Passive House Institute to perform certification using its seal and in accordance with its standards.

  • Passive house energy balance calculation with PHPP, and dynamic simulation with IDA ICE Software

  • Evaluating dynamic thermal characteristics of homogeneous and non-homogeneous components in 3D under any variable boundary condition.

  • Hygrothermal simulation allows to predict the moisture and temperature conditions that might occur within a building assembly over time.

  • Constructing an extremely efficient building is not just a matter of math. You need details and designs that fit the site. We can work with you on drafting the most appropriate air-tightness material list and methodology for your project.

  • With 10 years of experience as adjunct professor at Politecnico di Milano, and 3 at University of Brescia, we can organize, write and teach a course for you and your students

  • Calculate and visualise light for indoor and outdoor areas using Dialux software.
