Geothermal Energy
Investigate. Plan. Optimise.
Geothermal energy offers an economic and sustainable option for heating and cooling buildings. As expert planners for geothermal systems, we orientate our planning services in accordance with HOAI (Fee Structure for Architects and Engineers; AHO Booklet 26). We take on the basic evaluation/feasibility study, preliminary planning and pilot studies (thermal response test, pump trials), the design and approval planning, as well as the implementation planning and contracting (service phases 1 to 7 in accordance with HOAI).
