08Engineering & Infrastructure
Make the envelope the building’s first energy system.
ANTA treats roofs, walls, openings, airtightness and solar protection as one system serving comfort, durability and lower demand.

Common situations
Signals that justify a study.
- 01Overheating despite air conditioning
- 02Hot surfaces, leakage and condensation
- 03Insulation unsuited to climate or use
- 04Thermal bridges and workmanship defects
- 05Fragmented refurbishment without a whole-building view
Scope of services
Assignments proportionate to the real need.
External insulation and opaque elements
Acoustic insulation and indoor comfort
Windows, glazing and airtightness
Solar protection and bioclimatic design
Roofs, façades and energy refurbishment
Assignment method
From observation to performance evidence.
Every stage produces a decision, document or control useful to the next.
Observe the asset and its uses
Analyse sun, wind, moisture and heat transfer
Identify defects and interfaces
Compare solutions by climate and lifecycle cost
Treat continuity, fixings, water and fire
Define details and site controls
Verify comfort after works
Deliverables
Documents designed to decide, procure, control and operate.
The deliverable organises assumptions, interfaces, responsibilities and evidence.
Defect mapping and diagnosis
Thermal simulation and comfort analysis
Prioritised refurbishment scenarios
Principle drawings and construction details
Specifications and workmanship requirements
Inspection and hold-point plan
Care and durability guide
ANTA perspective
A clear technical position.
A high-performance envelope lowers demand, improves passive comfort and enables more accurate sizing of technical systems.
Interfaces
No lasting performance is designed in isolation.
Disciplines are connected to control transfers of load, energy, water, air, data and responsibility.
