In design competitions and during the ongoing design process for building services systems, preliminary cost estimates must generally be prepared at an early stage, typically based on specific parameters.

Statistically, current cost indicators are therefore derived from projects undertaken by many different design firms. For this reason, these centrally compiled cost indicators do not take into account the unique design solutions of individual projects.

As part of an internship, existing data from completed and ongoing projects will be analyzed and organized in such a way that quick, reliable cost estimates can be generated using a simple software tool based on standard office software. The database should also be easy to update and maintain.

Since our internships and the supervision of student projects are primarily intended to provide practical experience and career guidance, we ask for your understanding that no compensation is provided. However, we would be happy to issue you a formal internship certificate and nominate your student project for the annual academic award presented by the Association for the Promotion of Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Technology (Verein zur Förderung der Luft- und Kältetechnik e.V.).
