Authorities

Our services for authorities include meteorological as well as environmental meteorological expert opinions, environmental impact assessments, climate risk analyses as a basis for your ESG reporting as well as services in the field of urban climate.

Environmental Impact Statement – Air and Climate

Projects whose realisation is expected to have a potentially significant impact on the environment must undergo an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in accordance with the EIA Act. The scope of the investigation goes far beyond that of a conventional immission report.

Odour Assessment

Odour Assessment Reports enable the assessment of the odour situation in the vicinity of odour-intensive businesses such as e.g. agricultural livestock farming, sewage treatment plants, biogas plants and paint shops. To this end, a dispersion model is used to determine the frequency of odour hours in relation to one year and compare them with the thresholds of the Odour Immission Guideline (GIRL).

Origin Analysis

Atmospheric dispersion calculations, air chemistry modelling and the analysis of observation data (satellite data, ground-based remote sensing) are used to investigate the cause of an increased pollutant concentration, for example in case a threshold value is exceeded.

Immission Report

As part of an immission report, it is determined if the project in question can comply with the statutory immission thresholds (e.g. for nitrogen oxides or fine particulate matter). For this purpose, dispersion calculations are carried out based on the project's emissions.

Vapour Plumes Expertise

Moisture in exhaust gases (i.e. cooling towers) can condense under suitable meteorological conditions and thus lead to visible vapour plumes. This analysis primarily focusses on the length of these plumes and the frequency with which they occur.

Climate Risk Analysis

Our climate hazard and risk analyses support companies in identifying and assessing climate-related risks. Based on standardized methods and valid climate data such as ÖKS15, impact chains are developed, and models and expert knowledge are integrated to analyse hazards, vulnerabilities, and exposures - providing a solid foundation for ESG reporting.

Urban Climate

We offer services in the field of urban climate based on measurement data and the modelling of physical processes and interactions in urban areas.

Climate Change: Talks and Consulting

From the global climate system to urban climate effects, from glacial ice to apricot blossom, we explain the climate in such a way that it is understood and provides a solid basis for decision-making. We combine well-prepared knowledge with locally specific data on climate change and turn it into exciting presentations and concrete, community-specific bases for decision-making.

Expertise on Past Weather

What was the weather like yesterday or during another period in the past? Whether expert reports, analyses according to standards or statistical statements on weather events such as storms, thunderstorms or precipitation - we provide reliable information for your individual requirements.
