In my case, the decision to go to the UAS and specialise in building services engineering was worth its weight in gold, as was the decision to do a doctorate!
Simon Handler, graduate of FH Burgenland
Innovative planning methods
Professionally, he is the managing director of hacon GmbH in Eisenstadt.
He studied civil engineering at Graz University of Technology and Vienna University of Technology. "After graduating, I started working in the field of building physics and only came to building technology through my job," he explains. "I very quickly realised that I was completely missing the building services for a holistic view of the topic of 'energy in buildings'."
During his doctorate on the subject of building component activation, he decided to specialise further in the field of building technology. Parallel to his doctorate, he studied for a Master's degree in Building Technology and Building Management at the University of Applied Sciences Burgenland in Pinkafeld and describes this time in retrospect as a "pretty ambitious phase of his life."
He has been self-employed with his planning office hacon since 2020. "Our customers are primarily property developers or general planners and building services planners," he explains. His company is the number one contact for building physics.
"With the help of modern simulation technology, we create realistic images of our buildings and thus enable cost-efficient dimensioning of the building services systems. This often plays a decisive role, particularly in the field of geothermal energy."
Fairness and transparency are important values for the entrepreneur, who fondly remembers his student days. "It was nice not to be a number. The training programme helped me progress in the field I work in, because we were very much involved with innovative planning methods."
