Comprehensive Consulting Services for the Client
In the most recent software generation of Allplan, the focus is on energy-efficient building and restoration. With Allplan, architects and engineers can offer their clients a comprehensive range of consulting services – thanks to numerous functionalities. These include applications for calculating energy values (from a simple "energy indicator" for the fast analysis of future energy requirements through to the creation of energy performance certificates in accordance with the standards of selected federal states), as well as simulation programs for fitting a building with solar and photovoltaic systems. There is also direct access to an online funding database, which quickly lists the relevant funding programs in Germany, Austria and Switzerland for building clients.
However, sustainable building also means the use of sustainable raw materials and the economical use of building materials. In this respect, architects and engineers play an equally important role. Allplan Timber Construction, for example, supports the use of environmental materials with a low primary energy use. Allplan Engineering makes it possible to combine lighter, leaner structures with steel-saving reinforcement solutions. Finally, the trend toward just-in-time use of precisely manufactured concrete precast elements helps the environment, because it reduces material consumption and the volume of transportation to the construction site. The Allplan Precast solution enables integrated planning of the processes in casting plants – right through to logistics on the construction site.
