Concept \/ Feasibility Studies<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Concept and feasibility studies provide comprehensive answers to questions of energy supply, distribution, and generation, forming the basis for evaluation and decision-making.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Components of concept and feasibility studies can include:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  • Assessment of new installations Integration and expansion of production facilities<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Process expansions and conversions<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Conversion of primary energy systems to sustainable energy supply systems in view of carbon neutrality goals.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Solutions for new or expanded installations<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     <\/p>\n

    as well as:<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    • Site and needs analysis Construction concept<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Planning and design<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Coordination with regulatory authorities<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Investment cost budgeting<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Reporting and documentation of results<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Energy and process systems need to be reconsidered over a longer-term cycle due to political and economic changes. This could involve switching to alternative fuels or the adoption of different technologies, such as combined heat and power. In addition to heat supply, we also examine other energy sources, such as compressed air, refrigeration, or ventilation technology. We place a particular emphasis on low-carbon or carbon-neutral energy sources and their efficient utilization.<\/span><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      In conjunction with a feasibility study or an energy concept, an assessment of the economic viability of various plant variants is conducted using our proprietary economic analysis tools.<\/span><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Potential facility expansions, retrofits, and improvements are identified, presented, and evaluated in the course of a study. Subsequently, renewal concepts are implemented.<\/span><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      The feasibility analysis enables:<\/span><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      • Verification of the feasibility of the task<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Definition of potential conditions (or key criteria)<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Solution variants<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Creation of documentation for the analysis.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Project Planning<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Project planning aims to align the clients’ ideas with building regulations and formalize them. Typically, the planning process starts with sketches, progresses through preliminary designs, and culminates in a proposal that is coordinated with the clients. In the final step, it delivers the completed design in accordance with the client’s preferences.<\/span><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Upon approval of the design, the submission planning phase begins. During this phase, we prepare the necessary documents for the regulatory approval process on your behalf:<\/span><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        • Submission documents (site plan, floor plans, elevations, sections, etc.)<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Construction description<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Geological conditions \/ groundwater level<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Floor area calculations<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Energy certificate or building physics proof<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Daylight exposure proof<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Building permit application<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Furthermore, we guide our clients through the entire approval process and provide supportive expertise at every step.<\/span><\/div>[vc_empty_space]
