Fa\u00e7ade engineering goes far beyond aesthetics. The fa\u00e7ade of a building brings together numerous factors that determine comfort, functionality, environmental impact, and safety.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For an innovative project, Sweco developed an energy master plan. As engineering partner, Sweco is responsible for building services and the overall energy concept, with our fa\u00e7ade engineering consultants contributing to both energy performance and architectural quality.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Fa\u00e7ade engineering connects aesthetics and energy efficiency<\/h2>\n

Within the energy master plan, the central building contributes through the integration of BIPV (Building\u2011Integrated Photovoltaics) in both the fa\u00e7ade and the roof.<\/p>\n

On the fa\u00e7ade, BIPV is incorporated as fixed solar\u2011shading elements in the form of vertical louvres. Our fa\u00e7ade engineers analysed a wide range of parameters, including:<\/p>\n
