Climate-smart architecture
Building climate-smart is possible. It can even be more profitable!

We help you achieve climate-smart construction that gives you:
- Competitive advantages – climate-smart architecture will be the next generation’s construction.
- The potential to significantly reduce the project’s climate impact, not merely to measure it.
- The opportunity to contribute more broadly to achieving the UN’s global sustainability goals.
Four top tips for reducing climate impact:
- Set a carbon dioxide budget
Calculate and compare climate impact and formulate goals for reducing it. Dare to think long-term!
- Climate-smart strategy
Opportunities, practicability, the project group’s competence, assessment of finance and sustainability, action plan.
- Implementation
Coordinate LCA analyses, reduce and streamline construction material and energy.
- Evaluation & analysis
LCA report, climate declaration.
We lead your project all the way to the goal:
We help you with continuous LCA analyses linked to BIM, from the early phases to finish construction. We offer:
- Climate-smart design
- Strategy & process management
- LCA calculations and carbon dioxide budget
- Zero CO2 certification
- Climate declaration
- Timber construction expertise
- Climate adaptation
