EKG Ing.-Büro Kruft

The EKG Ing.-Büro Kruft GmbH, founded in 2004 in Würzburg, is a renowned engineering office specializing in energy-efficient and sustainable building concepts. The company operates from three locations in Munich, Würzburg, and Oldenburg and is a member of GIH Bundesverband, bdNET, and the Energy Agency Unterfranken e.V.

The portfolio of EKG includes a wide range of services aimed at economically sensible and sustainable energy renovations of existing buildings as well as the development of energy concepts for new buildings. The main services include:

• The planning and renovation of KfW efficiency buildings, including passive houses and listed buildings.
• Consulting regarding innovative system technology, such as ventilation systems, component cooling, combined heat and power, cool-PV, and absorption chillers.
• Comprehensive consulting services, from assessing the current state to quality assurance of implementation, including cost-benefit analyses and life cycle analyses.
• Funding consulting for federal funding, especially for climate-friendly new buildings and energy audits[1].

The main mission of EKG is to develop sustainable solutions and future-proof concepts that offer an optimal combination of high energy efficiency, sensible system technology, and economic feasibility. The company strives to consider non-monetary aspects such as indoor climate quality, environmental relevance, design, and marketing, and to integrate them into the planning processes.

EKG is committed to sustainability and aligns itself with current legal requirements, such as the Building Energy Act (GEG 2024), which mandates the use of renewable energies for heating and hot water preparation of at least 65%. The company supports the construction of climate-friendly new buildings that achieve at least the efficiency house level 40 and minimize greenhouse gas emissions through life cycle analyses (LCA). Additionally, EKG promotes the sustainability certification of buildings, e.g., according to DGNB or NaWoh, to achieve the Quality Seal for Sustainable Buildings (QNG)[1].

The team of EKG consists of experienced professionals, including freelance architects and state-certified energy consultants. The managing director, Dipl.-Ing. Arne Kruft, is a board member for technology and further education in the GIH Bundesverband and a lecturer at various universities. Esther Achtermann, co-partner and authorized signatory, is a specialist in project management and BEG funding. The interdisciplinary team covers a wide range of fields, from architecture and environmental engineering to electrical engineering and business administration[1][2].
