March 2025 - INARCHITECTS
Making real estate more sustainable
Inarchitects is committed to accelerating the energy transition, contributing to the goal of making the existing built environment circular, climate-adaptive and energy-neutral by 2050. We go beyond complying with new laws and regulations; our position at the front end of the construction chain gives us the ability to widely apply sustainable, circular principles, materials and design methods. Using the Historic Building Information Modeling (HBIM) method, we can achieve sustainability in a targeted and effective way, making existing buildings future-proof.
Why sustainability with Inarchitects?
Accelerating the energy transition
Through digitization and a methodical approach.
Cost saving
Through accurate measurements, fewer movements to the construction site, fewer construction errors and energy savings.
Optimal cooperation in the chain
Using a master model for all disciplines and faster decision making.
Accelerating sustainability through our method
Phase 1
SO analysis (feasibility study)
Working with a structural engineer, cost expert and a consulting firm in sustainability, we create an SO analysis appropriate for a specific location. The goal is energy label A / A+, depending on the condition and use of the building. Any modifications and/or extensions will be sketched and calculated by the cost expert.
Phase 2
Scanning, digitizing and linking
The second action is to scan the existing property. We do this very accurately with a “VLX Mobile wearable mapping system. Then the data are processed in a program and prepared in a “point-cloud. We can import the point cloud into our modeling programs: HBIM (Historic Building Interaction Moddeling) with this we create an “as built” 3D model of the existing or new building.
Phase 3
Getting Ready for Tender
The final design provided with specifications and descriptions are going to be used to select an appropriate contractor(s). The BIM model will be used by all parties (contractor and subcontractors) for engineering of facilities and structures.
