Sustainably networked

With Sustainable Engineering, we combine precise design, digital methods and sustainable strategies. This results in energy-optimised, resource-efficient and value-enhancing solutions that make buildings fit for the future.

At Zentrale Technik (ZT), we bring people, ideas and technologies together. Together, our sustainable solutions make an important contribution to the STRABAG Group's goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2040. Because the future is all about teamwork.

Sustainable engineering in ZT

For us as an engineering firm, sustainable engineering means: technology with a sense of responsibility. With Bestand Beyond, our Green Services and MOLENO®, we create the basis for a sustainable future at Zentrale Technik.

Your benefits at a glance

Sustainable engineering protects the environment, offers economic benefits as well as practical added value.

  • Resource conservation and climate protection: Through sustainable design and construction, we reduce material consumption and cut emissions.
  • Cost-effectiveness and value enhancement: Sustainable design extends the lifespan of buildings, improves the quality of life and reduces operating costs.
  • Innovation and responsibility: With sustainable approaches and holistic strategies, we create solutions that combine ecological, economic and social aspects.

  • Sustainable engineering means creating solutions today that will continue to be effective tomorrow – for people, the environment and the future.

Sustainable Engineering - FAQ

  • What does sustainable engineering mean?

    For us, sustainable engineering means developing and implementing sustainable solutions. Our aim is to conserve resources, reduce emissions and take the entire building lifecycle into account through sustainable planning and construction.

    Sustainable engineering combines the art of engineering with a sense of responsibility for the future. Our core principles are:

    • Holistic planning: We consider the entire life cycle of a project across all project phases. In doing so, we focus on both refurbishment of existing buildings and the sustainable construction of new buildings. For us, the refurbishment and modernisation of existing buildings is a key driver of sustainability. Our experts bring a fresh perspective to existing structures and give your building a new lease of life.
    • Resource conservation and energy efficiency: Sustainability begins with the choice of materials and extends to the optimisation of energy flows. We focus on resource-efficient materials, efficient systems and intelligent building technology.
    • Innovation and digitalisation: Sustainable and Smart Engineering go hand in hand for us. For us, digital design methods such as BIM, Generative Design and GIS are not only drivers for efficient and precise design, but also for sustainability. Together, we create solutions that are ecologically responsible, economically viable and technically future-proof.
  • What does the future of sustainable design and construction look like?

    The requirements for buildings are changing rapidly: climate neutrality, resource conservation and digital connectivity are not just trends, but key guiding principles for the construction industry.

    Those who plan sustainably today are shaping the standards of tomorrow.

    • Holistic life cycle approach: The focus is no longer solely on sustainable construction, but on optimisation across the entire life cycle. The circular economy is becoming the norm. Materials are reused and deconstruction concepts are an integral part of every design process.
    • Sustainable Engineering and Smart Engineering are merging: Digital methods such as BIM enable holistic design. Intelligent building technology manages energy and resources efficiently. Networked systems and artificial intelligence ensure real-time optimisation and predictive maintenance. This results in solutions that are technically excellent, sustainable and future-proof.
    • Preservation rather than demolition: The renovation and modernisation of existing buildings is becoming increasingly important. This allows materials to be saved, energy consumption to be reduced and the lifespan of buildings to be extended.
    • Focus on energy efficiency: Buildings are becoming increasingly energy self-sufficient, equipped with photovoltaics, heat pumps and smart storage systems. Carbon footprints and certifications such as DGNB or LEED are becoming standard and are a prerequisite for future-proof projects.

You have a goal. We have the plan.

Whether it's a vision, project idea or specific construction project - we get your goals off the ground with engineering expertise and clear design. Together, we create well thought-out solutions that stand the test of time.
