Engineering and Energy efficiency
1. Structural Design
ATE360 specializes in high-level structural design for both new construction and the retrofitting or upgrading of existing buildings. In a complex environment like Italy, seismic design is an absolute priority. Using advanced computational software, our engineers develop optimized structural solutions that combine maximum structural safety with modern requirements for integrated energy efficiency, resulting in resilient, high-quality, and sustainable buildings.
- Structural analysis and design of foundations and superstructures in reinforced concrete, steel, timber, and masonry.
- Advanced seismic design for reducing the vulnerability of civil and industrial buildings.
- Integrated structural modeling in a BIM environment for the optimization of construction clashes.
- Engineering of structural junctions to eliminate thermal bridges and facilitate continuous insulation.
2. Post-Seismic Inspections and Assessments
Building safety requires rigorous inspections and certifications. ATE360 provides structural acceptance testing services—both during construction and upon completion—meticulously adhering to current regulations to ensure the perfect stability of buildings and infrastructure. Furthermore, following seismic events, our team conducts in-depth assessments and surveys to analyze the extent of damage and verify structural integrity. Every restoration and repair proposal is developed by integrating energy efficiency criteria, thereby optimizing the building for future challenges.
- Execution of static acceptance tests, load tests, and structural verifications in accordance with technical standards (NTC).
- Post-earthquake damage assessment and preparation of structural safety assessment forms.
- Design of urgent interventions for safety securing, structural consolidation, and localized repairs.
- Planning of structural restoration interventions combined with thermal efficiency upgrades to the building envelope.
3. Advanced Energy Audits
An energy audit is the essential diagnostic tool for understanding the actual thermal and operational performance of a building. In strict compliance with relevant European directives, ATE360 meticulously maps the building’s energy flows to identify inefficiencies and areas of heat loss. This analytical study enables the formulation of a targeted action plan, quantifying investment costs and payback periods for interventions that reduce long-term operating costs.
- Detailed survey and analysis of the building envelope-systems integration and actual consumption profiles.
- Thermographic analysis and instrumental surveys to identify thermal bridges and heat loss.
- Development of dynamic mathematical simulation models to evaluate system efficiency.
- Report preparation featuring effective improvement scenarios and economic-financial analyses (ROI).
4. Energy Certifications
Energy certifications serve as a building’s “identity card” and determine its value on the real estate market. ATE360 issues certificates and certifications using rigorous protocols and validated software, providing an objective and precise assessment of the energy class. This process is not merely a bureaucratic formality but a strategic guide for identifying the best technological solutions to enhance the property’s integrated energy efficiency, thereby significantly reducing its environmental impact.
- Preparation of Energy Performance Certificates (APE) for sales, rentals, and project completion.
- Technical consultancy for meeting CasaClima® and European standards and parameters.
- Compliance checks against minimum statutory requirements for access to incentives and tax deductions.
- Preparation of technical documentation for the classification and valuation of assets.
5. Integrated Systems Design
Exceptional architecture requires the support of an equally efficient technological “engine.” ATE360’s engineering division develops detailed designs for high-efficiency mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems. By leveraging specialized software and computational algorithms, we optimize system designs to ensure seamless integration with the architectural structure. We design modern systems powered by renewable energy sources that guarantee maximum indoor comfort while drastically reducing operating costs.
- Design of HVAC systems (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning).
- Integration of renewable energy systems (heat pumps, photovoltaics, solar thermal).
- Design of smart electrical systems, home automation systems, and LED lighting networks.
- Sizing of plumbing systems and rainwater harvesting and reuse systems.
6. Acoustic and Comfort Consulting
Well-being within a space depends not only on temperature but also on the quality of the acoustic environment. ATE360 provides specialized consultancy services in environmental and building acoustics to ensure full compliance with strict current regulations. By analyzing sound-insulating and sound-absorbing materials, we design tailored solutions that shield spaces from both external and internal noise. This acoustic design works in perfect synergy with thermal insulation, enhancing overall sustainability and the comfort of living or working environments.
- Predictive assessment of the passive acoustic requirements of buildings (sound insulation of facades, walls, and floor slabs).
- On-site sound level measurements for the acoustic acceptance testing of structures and technical systems.
- Design of acoustic remediation and correction solutions for offices, schools, venues, and public spaces.
- Consultancy on the selection of building materials capable of combining high acoustic and thermal performance.
