Ebert Ingenieure

What Ebert Ingenieure does

Ebert Ingenieure GmbH is a German engineering consultancy founded in 1973 by Ernst Ebert, specializing in integral planning of Technical Building Equipment (Technische Gebäudeausrüstung, TGA). The firm designs HVAC, electrical, fire protection, building automation, sanitation, media technology, and conveying systems across the full HOAI Leistungsphasen 1–9 lifecycle, supported by a 360° holistic methodology and full Building Information Modeling (BIM) implementation using Autodesk Revit with Dynamo scripting and ProjectBox for TGA. Service adjacencies include energy concepts, sustainability consulting (DGNB/ESG), acoustics, lighting design via RELUX/DIALux, and a newer digital building-monitoring offering that uses sensors and AI-driven analytics for operational optimization.

The firm employs approximately 60 qualified specialists across three locations — Leipzig (headquarters), Nürnberg, and München (relocated August 2025) — operating as part of the ZECH Group's "ZECH Integrale Planung" division alongside ZECH Bau SE, InFaCon, and ROM. Its customer base spans public institutions, real-estate developers, general contractors, healthcare operators (e.g., Heinrich-Braun-Klinikum Zwickau, Klinikum St. Georg Leipzig), sports venues (MHP Arena Stuttgart, Max-Morlock-Stadion Nürnberg), heritage revitalizations (Heeresbäckerei Kassel, Dresdner Hof Leipzig, Rathenau-Hallen / BaseCamp Berlin), industrial clients (SiCrystal), and transport infrastructure (Deutsche Bahn). Notable landmark references include the European Central Bank Frankfurt, Federation Tower Moscow, and Germany's largest construction site at Europahafenkopf Bremen (~€300M project value), where Ebert Ingenieure handled integral planning.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional-services fees under HOAI, with credentials including ISO 9001 (TÜV SÜD), DGNB corporate membership, BEG Energieeffizienz-Experten listings, and WiredScore Accredited Professional status. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales into developers, investors, contractors, and public institutions, supplemented by active trade-fair participation (BIM World Munich, BAU, Messe Energie vernetzt), university recruiting, and a multi-channel social presence. The firm is currently navigating leadership transitions — founder Ernst Ebert passed away in May 2025 and Managing Director Miriam Haag departed in July 2024 — with Olaf Demuth continuing as sole Geschäftsführer.
