Climate engineering to counter global warming

Building and energy technologies are a major tool in combating climate change

Heating and air conditioning systems offer the biggest opportunity to reduce CO₂, with 90% of total primary energy consumption for buildings being related to heating, cooling, ventilation and hot water provision.

Within buildings, heating, air conditioning and ventilation all guzzle energy. Climate engineering is an integrated discipline that addresses all aspects of building and energy technology in a property – from the façade to air conditioning and the use of renewable energy. As a key driver of energy-optimised construction, this approach is bringing together architects, engineers and other consultants. Only by working closely together can all the parties involved reach the goal of green climate and energy solutions, namely achieving maximum user comfort while consuming minimal energy for heating, cooling and ventilation.

Intelligent building technology for reduced CO₂ emissions:

• Heat insulation and energy optimisation of the building envelope
• Climate control that seeks to avoid air conditioning
• Use of innovative heating systems incorporating renewable energy
