Demonstration projects

Services:

At the beginning of each innovation and new development there are pilot and demonstration projects to prove the theoretical feasibility also under the stringent conditions of everyday practice. It was particularly in refurbishing existing buildings to reach the passive house standard with an efficiency increase by a factor of 10, where LANG consulting was decisively involved in several segments of implementing the first Austrian demonstration projects ever conducted and looks back on extensive experience in this field.
