Construction physics
From soundproofing to energy efficiency
Building physics represents the link between sustainability strategy, architectural design, and the resulting building utilization quality.
Building physics services
Our range of services encompasses thermal and acoustic building physics for all project types:
- Thermal building physics includes summer and winter insulation to ensure energy efficiency and thermal comfort.
- Acoustic building physics includes assessments of external noise, internal soundproofing, and improving room acoustics to enhance health and comfort.
- Building physics consulting for SIA (Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects) phases 2–53: Building physics consulting for new and existing construction projects, including official documentation.
Durable, part of the Wüest Partner Group, offers building owners, architects, general planners, and general contractors a wide range of related consulting and planning services for both new and existing construction projects, spanning SIA phases 2 to 5.
Our offer
Expertise and competitive procedures
We prepare reports on noise, soundproofing, and energy for competitive procedures, noise concepts in early project phases, and feasibility studies. The focus is on identifying and minimizing noise sources and efficiently planning energy measures.
Simulations and feasibility studies
We provide phase-appropriate thermal comfort and daylight simulations, which are essential for sustainable and user-friendly building planning. These simulations enable more targeted planning, accounting for the necessary requirements and complexities.
Sustainability and lifecycle orientation
With our wide range of solutions and integration with the consulting services of the Wüest Partner Group, we ensure consistent pursuit of corporate and project goals throughout the entire lifecycle of the project perimeter, all through a single source. Building physics forms the basis for developing and implementing a specific sustainability strategy from phase 31 onwards.
Advice on acoustic and thermal use quality
Complementing our range of services, we offer guidance on acoustic and thermal quality for improved health and user well-being. The aim is to create spaces that are both acoustically and thermally comfortable, providing a healthy environment tailored to specific requirements.
