Technical Audit & CECB/CECB +
The preparation of an energy audit also acts as a solution for high-consumption sites (>5GWh of thermal energy and/or >0.5GWh of electricity per year) to fulfil their legal obligations.
A technical audit is a very useful tool for becoming more familiar with your building, as well as with the planning of the required investment and work. This inventory serves as a basis for the planning of a building's energy renovation strategy, taking into account the technical and regulatory obsolescence of its components, as well as the available opportunities (labels, subsidies, etc.).
GEAK certificates are a decision-making support that can be used to assess the overall energy efficiency of a building. They combine calculations and measurements to identify a building´s performance and, in the case of the CECB Plus, enable the development of quantified improvement options. The CEBS Plus can also be used as a basis for a planning permission application. A CEBS or CEBS Plus certificate is a prerequisite to obtain certain subsidies from the Canton's Construction Programme.
An initial meeting to define and validate your objectives
A visit to the building and the collection of data
Analysis and comparison of the estimated energy and financial gains depending on the variant.
The analysis of its current consumption
The proposal of alternatives according to their prioritisation
An energy simulation of existing and projected variants
Drafting of the works budget according to the required degree of precision
The drafting of an inventory of the building (outer shell and technical equipment)
Application for a Building Permit
New buildings must at least meet the High-Energy Performance standard. There are four possible methods of evidencing this level of performance: based on the Minergie label, compliance with MOPEC, with the CECB, or founded on overall evidence according to SIA. Please note that each of these four variants are accompanied by additional instructions depending on the selected type of evidence.
In the case of a renovation, buildings are considered as an HPE-renovation if they comply with one of the three following variants: evidence based on the Minergie label, MOPEC, or with the CECB. In the same manner, these three variants are accompanied by additional instructions which are specific to them.
We can advise you on whether your building needs to meet the HPE or THPE (Very High Energy Performance) standard, and then guide you in choosing the most appropriate option for your project to prove its energy efficiency.
Energy evidence/documents (technical forms, MoPEC 2014, as required)
Thermal evidence (varied, according to the targeted HPE or THPE performance)
The evidence for technical decisions

Calculation of the IDC
La plupart des travaux de démolition, de construction ou d’installation, d’agrandissement, de rénovation ou de changement d’affectation nécessitent une autorisation de construire.
Nous constituons vos dossiers de requête en autorisation de construire avec notamment les éléments suivants :
The majority of demolition, construction and installation work, or extension, renovation and conversion work, requires a building permit.
We prepare your application for a building permit, including the following items:
The Building´s ‘Energy Plan’
The energy plan constitutes a compulsory stage in the application for a building permit for major buildings (ERA > 2,000 m2 or 3,000 m2 for residencies).
The plan presents strategies for heating, cooling and ventilation.
These strategies enable us to prove that the architectural and technical plan is consistent with the requirements of the site, its constraints, as well as the opportunities it presents.
An analysis of the site constraints, as well as of the nearby available energy resources
The submission of the application for the building permit to the OCEN, together with the supporting documents and forms
Submission of the file thirty days prior to the commencement of the works
The proposal of variants and the pre-sizing of installations
Collaboration with the architect to meet the legal requirements of the standards or the relevant targeted labels.
Technical and economic analysis of the different variants

Dynamic simulation
Our office offers the implementation and performance of dynamic numerical simulations (CFD) for fluid-flow-analysis. The display of temperature, pressure and air-speed areas supports technical decision-making and helps to demonstrate the correct functioning of HVAC concepts.
We also perform fire simulations to design smoke extraction systems by way of CFD. These tests ensure that the installed smoke extraction system is safe and effective and complies with the current standards.
Creation of BIM models
BIM enables the generation of data and associates it with an object linked to spatial coordinates. This data, from different areas, is joined in a map integrating all the information related to the building and its installations, from its design to its operation.
The use of BIM enables us to operate more efficiently and sustainably, due to the model´s scalability.
Multidisciplinary technical coordination with conflict detection
Implementation of systems for extracting quantities and bills of quantities from modelled installations
The development of BIM models in collaboration with the various contractors
3D-modelling of HVAC installations, including:

Digital control / Building automation
The MCR (Measurement-Control-Regulation) building automation system uses programmable logic controllers to optimise operating and running costs. This makes it possible to meet the challenges of energy consumption in buildings by way of more precise automated regulation and optimised consumption monitoring thanks to energy meters.
This technology represents a real asset for your building, by providing an overall view of the operational status of your building's installations, at any time, as well as remotely, thanks to an intuitive, customisable interface. To enable buildings to evolve with new technologies, we favour interoperable solutions.
We are involved in all phases of your project in accordance with SIA 108, from the preliminary studies all the way to commissioning and project completion.
