As part of the presentation of the State Prize Consulting-Ingenieurconsulting 2021, a total of 27 projects were presented on 09 December 2021 after a first round of applications. We are very pleased about the nomination for our submitted project “R.O.S.E.®” and congratulate the winners PJ Messtechnik GmbH on their project “Efficient maintenance of rail infrastructure using mobile measurement technology”.

R.O.S.E. ® is a tool with which alternative energy sources can be compared with conventional fossil fuels to be able to determine the exact payback period at the beginning of a project. R.O.S.E. ® was developed because it is difficult to get a quick overview at the beginning of new projects since there is only little information available. With R.O.S.E. ®, every construction project can be assessed very quickly and thus the most sustainable energy system can be determined. Data research is an essential point for the success of R.O.S.E. ®. Research is carried out at least once a year to keep all manufacturer information up to date and was very time-consuming at the beginning. The more often R.O.S.E. ® is used, the higher the learning effect. By applying it to projects and working with various engineering consultants, comparisons can be made between detailed calculations. In this way the tool is constantly evaluated in order to achieve improvements and add new features.

The nomination for the State Prize Consulting-Ingenieurconsulting 2021 is a great confirmation of our work and shows that more and more emphasis is being placed on innovations in the field of renewable energies.

We will continue to develop R.O.S.E. ® and continuously adapt it to new technologies – we see this as our contribution to society to make the energy transition a reality. Photo => © Silveri Matthias
