The starting point

For the feasibility study of the Niederscherli development, Swiss Property had to decide which construction method delivers the best overall package: cost, CO₂, energy and comfort together, not just one criterion.

The result

  • Four construction methods compared on the architectural model: masonry, ventilated masonry, reinforced concrete and timber, directly from 4 digital models with 22 defined component types.
  • Every variant assessed holistically: greenhouse gas emissions, heating demand, cost and summer thermal protection as a dynamic simulation.
  • The best variant decided after 3 weeks, instead of several months.

Beyond the project

  1. 1Before acquisition
    Spot potential early

    Feasibility studies can be checked for cost, energy, CO₂ and comfort before the purchase.

  2. 2Up to the construction decision
    One model, every phase

    The chosen variant is reassessed automatically with every new design stage, without starting from scratch.

  3. 3Portfolio
    Learn from every project

    Construction methods and key figures become comparable across all projects, and the knowledge flows into the next one.
