Founded more than a decade ago, the internationally renowned firm has been providing a wide range of state-of-the-art architectural, engineering, consultancy and RDI services for building and urban energy solutions. The company’s services range from building- to urban scale solutions – from the conceptual design of the built environment to its ideal use, considering the entire life cycle of the project. Leveraging environmental, social and data sciences as well as international best practice, ABUD delivers cutting-edge solutions in sustainable design, renovation and the operation of buildings, neighbourhoods, and cities. ABUD’s RDI activities cover an extensive array of topics, including deep renovation, positive energy districts, nature-based solutions, user behaviour, environmental management and governance, and the digitalization of the built environment. Working collaboratively, they co-design solutions with world-class academic partners to create more efficient, resilient and liveable spaces.
In BIO4EEB, ABUD will lead the socio-economic assessment of the end users (building owners, investors), including their early analysis, characterisation, and segmentation according to a number of key economic and sociocultural variables. ABUD will also lead the demonstration in virtual demo cases using energy and comfort simulation models. The company will further assist the development of the decision support platform and the evaluation of building materials according to circular economic criteria.
