Efficiency belongs
in the plan.
Good performance comes from the building as a whole, not from one isolated technology.
Build for the long view.
Neoterra considers insulation, windows, airtightness, shading, thermal bridges, heating and ventilation together. Suitable renewable energy systems and current technology are assessed against the needs and operation of each project.
Resource awareness also includes maintainable solutions, durable materials, summer comfort and the effect of decisions over the building's useful life.
First reduce demand. Then choose supply.
Solar generation, storage and efficient heating can all help. Their value depends on the building, its occupants, orientation, loads, maintenance and the local project brief.
Explore the technologiesReduce demand
Use an appropriate building envelope, carefully detailed junctions and thoughtful daylight and shading strategies.
Select suitable systems
Coordinate building services and consider renewable energy where appropriate to the development.
Document the result
Obtain an official Austrian Energieausweis for every Neoterra project. We aim for the highest practicable classification, while the actual assessed class is stated only when documented.
An energy ambition is useful only when the finished project's documented result can be shown clearly.
