Service-oriented architecture (SOA) - the future of corporate integration

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is an architectural pattern in software development that is based on the provision of services. SOA aims to structure applications as modular, reusable and loosely coupled services. These services communicate with each other via standardised protocols and interfaces. Key features of SOA are Modularity: Functionalities are divided into independent services. Interoperability: Services can work together across platforms and technologies. Reusability: Services can be used in different applications and contexts. Scalability: Individual

Certification systems for sustainable buildings: an overview

Certification schemes for sustainable buildings are tools developed to assess and rate the sustainability of buildings. They serve as a guide for builders, architects and developers to ensure that their buildings are environmentally friendly, energy efficient and healthy for occupants. These schemes are based on a set of criteria that assess the environmental, social and economic impact of a building throughout its life cycle. The certification systems are developed by independent organisations

Checklist: Frontloading in the planning and construction process

Frontloading is an important process in the planning and construction process that aims to optimise the planning and preparation of construction projects. The term "frontloading" refers to the idea that much of the planning and preparation work is carried out in the early stages of the project to ensure that all important decisions are made and all potential problems are identified before the actual construction project begins. This approach allows risks to be minimised, costs to be

Hydraulic balancing: optimisation and efficiency of the heating system

Hydraulic balancing is a procedure used to optimise the settings of heating systems. It involves adjusting the flow of heating water in the individual radiators so that all rooms are heated evenly and efficiently. This is done by adjusting the valves on the radiators to ensure that each room receives the right amount of heat. Hydraulic balancing is particularly important in larger buildings or systems with many radiators, as
