Welcome Belimo! The expert for energy-efficient control of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems is now part of our industry partners. Damper actuators, control valves, sensors and meters form the core business of the Swiss company. Since 1975, Belimo has employed around 2,300 people in…
Building Information Modeling (BIM) has fundamentally established itself as the method for collaborative design, construction, and operation of buildings. However, in practice, implementation often progresses slowly. A key reason for this is that data-driven design often seems too complex, causing…
With the new S-Bahn Academy Munich is gaining not only a state-of-the-art training center for future train drivers, but also a pioneering flagship project for holistically designed building technology. From the initial design concept to technical implementation, Heimann Ingenieure and Quadra…
In Moers, the housing company VIVAWEST is modernizing six apartment buildings with a total of 46 residential units by replacing old gas floor heating systems with central heat pump systems and decentralized Regudis W-HTE GT dwelling stations. The aim is to reduce CO₂ emissions, increase energy…
News from our industry partner Oventrop: With the new HydroControl balancing valves, Oventrop makes the hydraulic balancing of distribution lines in central heating and cooling systems even faster and easier. The new balancing valves are also absolutely reliable and precise – for a long time and in…
AutoCAD has been a fixture in the CAD world for over 40 years. But how is the classic holding up in the age of BIM, data-driven design and new process requirements? Is AutoCAD outdated today – or is it underestimated? The answer will surprise you: With the right extensions, AutoCAD becomes a…
While revising a video script that I’ll later translate, one word catches my eye: “MEP designer” It makes me wonder—who actually uses our software solutions? Who reads my translations? Who are these people we always refer to as our “customers”? I catch myself picturing mostly men, sitting in front…
The digital transformation is already in full swing, demanding clear answers to complex questions. Especially in the construction industry—where innovation meets tradition — companies must tackle challenges without losing sight of their primary goal: increasing efficiency and quality through…
The LINEAR Idea Channel has revolutionized the way our customers and our product management communicate. It thrives on this collaboration – and that's exactly what makes it so successful! Thanks to numerous user ideas, new functions were added to the platform last year and it now offers an even…
Municipal (local) heating networks play a key role in the decarbonized heating supply target scenario. Heat from various regionally available renewable energies can be provided more cost-effectively in many cases by means of heating networks - in contrast to supplying individual buildings. Municipal…
BIM models are now standard in the MEP design – but what happens to the data they contain? It often remains unused because there is no standardized classification. With the LINEAR "MepClasses", there is now a solution that brings order to the data chaos and paves the way for automated, digital…
