Real estate owners aim to operate efficiantly and profitably while developing modernisations and tenant improvments in their office buildings.

A property can not be seen as an one-time investment with no follow-up costs : only approximately 15% of the expenses are related to the construction or acquisition to the building ,however 85% are incurred for building maintenance and repairs. A carefully planned and optimized maintenance strategy provides lasting value preservation and enhancement of the properties.

With moderate and transparent investments the revenue growth of your property assets can be increased.

Due to our profound professional experience and the resulting customer relationships, we are very familiar with the handling of building substance, costs and deadlines.

Low-energy house

A low-energy house achieves rates well below the statutory minimum requirements of the building-energy-rating regulation (EnEV 2009)

Intelligent design solutions, excellent thermal insulation and the use of modern technology will lead to potential savings in energy and costs. The proposed revision, EnEV 2012, will target a further 30% reduction in energy usage for both new builds renovation projects. Our designs already take this into consideration.

Passive-house

Passive-houses achieve a constant comfortable temperature in summer and winter with very low energy consumptions and without the use of an independent heating & cooling system. The heat consumption is limited to 15 kwh (m²/per year) and the primary energy consumption including hot water and power is limited to 120 kwh (m²/per year). In comparison to a low-energy house, approximately 75% less energy for heating is used and a staggering 90% less compared to an average existing building. Energy efficient construction and renovation projects are subsidised with government grants, please avail of our assistance in applying for grants.

Energy Rating Certificate

Due to rising energy costs, energy efficient buildings are more attractive. An Energy Rating Certificate quantifies a buildings energy usage and makes suggestions on how modernising of the building can improve the rating and lower the energy consumption. The Certificate is a tool for more transparency in the market and intends to encourage investment  in modernisation investment and upgrading. As per EnEV 2009 you are requested to provide a Certificate for new builds, substantially modified buildings and existing buildings for sale or rent.

Since 2005 the office Enning-Architects is a registered member with the German Energy Agency ‘Deutsche Energie -Agentur GmbH’ and therefore authorised to certify Energy Ratings. Registration no. 40110.

Climate friendly construction

The motivation behind a climate friendly construction is the world wide increase in energy consumption and combined with diminishing resources. In order to achieve comfortable habitable rooms while being environmentally friendly at the same time the use of renewable local energy resources such as solar, wind & geothermal sources can useful. Our experience in the development of buildings for an international market is to consider the possible use of locally available resources from a very early stage. As part of an integral strategy we aim to work with the climate rather than working against it.

Sustainable Construction

Sustainable Buildings are economically efficient, environmentally friendly and considerate of resources and therefore keep a high value for investors, owners & tenants. The department of transport, construction & urban development (Bundesministerium für Verkehr, Bau und Stadtentwicklung – BMVBS) and the German society for sustainable construction ( Deutsche Gesellschaft für nachhaltiges Bauen e.V – DGNB) have developed a german approval system for sustainable construction ( Deutsche Gütesiegel Nachhaltiges Bauen) to certify sustainable buildings in a systematic way:

This system scores buildings in six categories:

• Economical quality
• Ecological quality
• Socially & functioning quality
• Technical quality
• Program quality
• Quality of location

A design based on these criteria has the following benefits for the tenant and owner:

• Improved marketing
• Lower risk
• Savings in construction costs
• Optimum design
• Optimum quality
• Improved building performance
• Increased rental income
• Lower utility costs

Franz A. Enning is a member of DGNB (Deutschen Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen) and would like to recommend each client a sustainable construction to avail of the above advantages and the benefit of certification.
