An inspiring, motivating and sustainable architecture for our clients successful future is the principal aim of INTELARC.

Projects integrate function & emotion, identity & resource efficiency.
The experience of INTELARC is based on studies and projects on five continents. While using the advantages of globalization, INTELARC respects local knowledge and traditions in its projects.

INTELARC fosters good comfort, an inspiring ambience and a bio-climatic approach with the intention of shaping the future for mankind and nature in the most positive way.
Due to its holistic approach, INTELARC integrates daylighting, acoustic comfort, ergonomics, natural ventilation, healthy building materials, innovative air conditioning systems and indoor & outdoor landscaping in its projects, creating High Performance buildings. Top tools like EnergyPlus, Radiance and Polysun are being used for building and component simulations.

Member of the USGBC United States Green Building Council since 2005, INTELARC works in diverse projects with the benchmark system LEED - Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, and adapts it to local conditions whenever necessary.

above average output

It is common knowledge that a positive working environment has an extremely positive influence on the well-being of users – employees, pupils and others -, increasing significantly their output. You feel well – you work and study well, is the result of dozens of international research studies.

Analyzing office building related costs, the item “salaries” contributes to 80% in a ten year cycle, while the costs for the physical building contribute to a mere 3%. Many research results suggest a significant increase of 10% and more percent in productivity of the workforce due to optimized working environments.

So well planned architecture is not only an aesthetical question, it also is definitely an extremely lucrative investment in your business. Sharp global competition demands an optimization in all productive sectors and this definitely includes office buildings, schools and institutional buildings.

One of the most thrilling and important developments in modern societies is the uncoupling of the energy consumption from the GDP. That means increasing production and higher quality with less energy. What works for industry definitely works for architecture – more comfort with less energy.

In Germany, for example, the energy consumption per square meter apartment decreased around 90% for new apartments in the last three decades. INTELARC works with highly sophisticated simulation tools to achieve the best cost–comfort–energy efficiency–relation.

Several projects won national and international awards for its quality in Architecture and its sustainable approach.
