For architects

An energy concept for your project — before the investor asks what it will cost.

On a small hotel or guesthouse, the question about heating, cooling, photovoltaics and storage lands with the architect. The answer usually comes late, from an installer, and rarely fits the building. Pan Ciepełko gives it at concept stage, from your floor plan.

The problem

A large hotel has a services engineer. A small one has you.

On properties of up to a few dozen rooms the budget does not stretch to a separate HVAC and energy design office. Decisions on the heat source, connection capacity, room for a buffer and a distribution board are in practice taken between the architect and the contractor — often after the structure and room layout are already fixed. The result is equipment sized “to be safe”, no room for plant, and an installation that was never calculated as a whole.

How it works

Floor plan in, concept out.

  1. 01

    You send the floor plans

    DXF or PDF, plus a few facts about the building and location. If the investor has already chosen a heat pump or panels, we take them into account.

  2. 02

    You receive a preliminary design

    Hydraulic and electrical schematics, an equipment list placed on the plan, a bill of materials with prices, and a full-year simulation report: consumption, generation, cost, payback. You know how much plant space is needed, and where.

  3. 03

    You iterate with the design

    The room layout changed, a wing was added, the investor wants cooling — the concept is recalculated on the same model, not from scratch.

  4. 04

    You hand over to the investor and the trades

    The investor gets a one-page summary with numbers. The installers get documentation they can price and build from — after verification by a qualified person.

Terms of working together

Partner pricing. No commission, no equipment trading.

Partner price for the practice

Architects who work with us order the preliminary design at a partner price. There is no commission on equipment sales — your independence towards the investor stays intact.

The investor orders the equipment

If the investor chooses to have the equipment supplied by us, they order it directly, on their own invoice. The practice does not broker equipment and carries no liability for it.

Contractors remain contractors

We do not carry out electrical or plumbing work. Installation is done by installers chosen by the investor — from our documentation, after its verification.

Verification of the concept

The preliminary design is a concept. Before execution it must be checked by a services designer or an installer with the appropriate qualifications. We treat that as part of the process, not as small print.

Which projects

Small hospitality and multi-unit buildings.

Start

Send a floor plan. We reply with scope and timing.

Write to us with a short description of the project — type of property, location, stage, available drawings. We reply on working days, usually within a day. The self-service portal for practices is under construction; until then we run projects directly.
