Six areas of work,one consistent set of numbers.

It starts with a complete model of the building: envelope areas, construction build-ups, glazing, heat generators, distribution, ventilation and use profiles. On that basis we calculate the energy demand using the current CasaClima methodology and tell you early whether the class you are aiming for — CasaClima A, B or Gold — is genuinely within reach for the design as drawn.

If it turns out to be marginal, we show which levers give the best return for the effort: insulation thickness, glazing quality and installation detail, heat recovery, the choice and control strategy of the heat generator. For CasaClima Nature the ecological criteria come on top — material choice, water consumption, component assessment — and these have to be considered early, because they are almost impossible to retrofit later.

During the procedure we handle registration with the CasaClima Agency, submission of the project documents, coordination with the assessor and preparation for the on-site inspection. At the end you receive not only the certificate but also a summary you can hand to a bank, a buyer or a board without having to explain it first.

For every critical component we carry out the moisture assessment to UNI EN ISO 13788 (Glaser method) and evaluate whether condensation forms in winter and dries out again in summer. We look particularly closely at internal insulation in existing buildings, unventilated roofs, timber elements with a vapour control layer, and junctions with historic masonry — that is where the damage appears that only becomes visible years later.

Summer heat protection has long stopped being a side issue in South Tyrol. We assess the phase shift and amplitude damping of the components to UNI EN ISO 13786 and develop a strategy from thermal mass, external shading, window orientation and night ventilation. The aim is rooms that stay comfortable without cooling — or with the smallest possible cooling system.

Where the project calls for it, acoustics are part of the work: preliminary sizing of separating walls and floor slabs, impact sound, façade sound insulation on through roads, and building services noise. In hotels and apartment buildings in particular, complaints can only be avoided if these questions are settled before construction starts.

Incentives are not won at the invoicing stage but during design. Before construction begins we check which instruments apply to your project — the tax deductions for energy retrofits in force at the time, the subsidies of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano, programmes for renewable installations — and which technical minimum requirements go with them. Often it is a few centimetres of insulation or a better window frame that decides eligibility.

We then build the chain of evidence: energy assessment before and after the intervention, technical descriptions, U-value documentation for the components claimed, and the technician's declarations. We file the ENEA notification within the prescribed period after completion — a deadline on which a surprising number of otherwise correct retrofits fail.

We will also tell you when an incentive is not worth pursuing. Some conditions cost more than the grant returns, and some instruments cannot be combined. You get that assessment from us in writing, before you commit.
