  Klimt exhibition room

• Monitoring of fire barriers

​

Project Description:

• Planning services for HVAC and building
  automation (MSR)
  Technical supervision of HVAC, MSR, and
  fire barriers

​

Execution Period:

2018-2020

At Belvedere Palace – Upper Belvedere, a new art mediation space was created within the existing exhibition area. Additionally, a new restroom facility was installed for the adjacent café. The existing ventilation and air-conditioning systems for the café and the “Klimt” exhibition room were renewed and adapted to meet current user requirements.

​

Throughout Belvedere Palace, all fire barriers for building and electrical installations were upgraded or renewed to enhance safety standards.

​

Our building services (MEP) scope included, among others:

• Planning the climate control for the art mediation exhibition area

• Planning the adaptation of the ventilation and air-conditioning systems for the café and the “Klimt” exhibition room

• Planning new restroom facilities in the exhibition area

• Supervision of fire barriers for building and electrical installations throughout Belvedere Palace

 

The result: the renovation and adaptation measures created a functional and user-friendly exhibition area with modern climate control and visitor comfort. The combination of new facilities and upgraded technical infrastructure ensures safe, flexible use of the exhibition spaces and an enhanced experience for visitors and staff.

The newly constructed laboratory and office center, completed in March 2025, was equipped with state-of-the-art building services, providing optimal conditions for research and operations.

​

The building houses offices and laboratory facilities across five above-ground floors, with a basement containing a parking garage, storage, and technical areas.

​

During planning and execution, the focus was on energy-efficient and future-proof technical systems.

​

• Energy-efficient ventilation systems with high-performance heat recovery for safe laboratory air circulation and minimal energy loss

• Energy-efficient power supply from district heating, efficient chillers, and optimized generation systems to reduce primary energy demand

• Intelligent building automation (BMS) for demand-driven control of ventilation, cooling, heating, and laboratory processes

• Resource-saving water systems, including optimized consumption reduction and treatment

• Low-flow laboratory fume hoods with automated controls to significantly reduce air volumes

• Modular utility supply for maximum flexibility in research and development

• Digital monitoring systems for real-time supervision of air quality and energy usage

 

The result: a building that combines energy efficiency, sustainability, and technical precision, showcasing innovative MEP solutions in an impressive way.

Project Description:

Casino – Gaming House

​​

Execution Period:

2021 - 2023

Between 2021 and 2023, the Berlin Casino at Potsdamer Platz underwent a comprehensive modernization across approximately 8,500 m² and six floors – all while remaining fully operational. In addition to a new gastronomy concept and an exclusive interior redesign with a completely revamped gaming layout, the focus was particularly on the renewal and optimization of the building services (MEP).

​

MEP Highlights:

• Complete modernization of building systems
  Renewal of all heating, cooling, ventilation, and electrical systems for energy-efficient, reliable, and safe operation.

• Energy-efficient cooling technology using chilled ceilings
  Implementation of modern, surface-based cooling systems for optimal thermal comfort while reducing energy consumption – ideal for densely used gaming areas.

• Revitalization of ventilation systems
  Optimized airflow, increased air exchange, and demand-driven control to ensure high air quality throughout the casino.

• New building automation, security technology & IT infrastructure
  Full upgrade of the building management system, integration of modern security and surveillance technology, and renewal of all IT network infrastructure.

​

The modernization of the MEP systems was carried out while the casino remained fully operational. High security requirements, strict access regulations, and the need to carefully coordinate noisy construction work demanded precise planning and tightly coordinated construction processes.

 

The result: a technically and energy-optimized casino that meets the highest standards for comfort, safety, and operational reliability.

For the construction of BIOMAY AG’s new biopharmaceutical facility, a high-performance, energy-optimized, and sustainable MEP concept was developed. The goal was to combine the demanding pharmaceutical production conditions – particularly in cleanroom and laboratory environments – with state-of-the-art, resource-efficient energy technologies. The MEP planning was carried out in GMP-compliance and in close coordination with process requirements and the specific hygiene classes of the cleanrooms.

​

Energy-efficient and sustainable MEP systems

• Use of a groundwater heat pump network for environmentally friendly heating and cooling

• Combined heating and cooling operation for efficient simultaneous energy demand coverage

• Planning of cleanroom ventilation systems with HEPA filtration, air change rates according to GMP class, and precise pressure cascades

• Control strategies for load reduction during partial use or production pauses

• Cooling generation via a hybrid system of groundwater heat pump and high-efficiency chillers

• Use of free cooling at suitable outdoor temperatures to minimize compressor runtime

• Implementation of a forward-looking building management system (BMS) for centralized monitoring of all main MEP systems

• Energy-optimized control algorithms and trend recordings for GMP-relevant parameters such as temperature, humidity, differential pressure, and air cleanliness

• Alignment of MEP systems for long-term scalability to allow future production line expansion

• Consideration of lifecycle costs and maintenance optimization throughout all planning phases

​

Special project requirements

• Close collaboration with process engineering and quality management to ensure GMP compliance

• Precise coordination of MEP installations with strict hygiene, material, and cleaning guidelines

​

The result: the developed MEP concept provides a high-performance, GMP-compliant, and energy-optimized production environment that meets the stringent requirements of modern biopharmaceutical processes. The combination of innovative energy supply, precise cleanroom technology, and intelligent control ensures stable, resource-efficient operation while offering high flexibility for future production needs. The consistent focus on efficiency, quality, and scalability lays the foundation for a long-term economically and environmentally sustainable operation of the facility.
