Introduction
GECO Energieberatung Andres & Husse GbR, based in Trier, specializes in energy consulting focused on improving building energy efficiency. Serving both private and commercial clients, they help reduce energy costs while promoting sustainable resource use. To streamline their workflows, GECO integrated Metaroom to simplify digital room capture and enhance planning efficiency.
“Metaroom streamlines our room capture process and provides vital measurements like room heights that older plans often miss. It saves us time and improves planning accuracy, making it a valuable tool for our projects.” — Martin Husse, GECO Energieberatung
Challenge
Older buildings often lack up-to-date or complete plans, making manual measurement a slow and labor-intensive task. Even when drawings are available, key details such as room and parapet heights are frequently missing. GECO Energieberatung needed a way to digitally capture these dimensions and effectively supplement existing plans—especially for projects where historic architectural drawings provided insufficient detail.
| 2D Plans are hard to find or are missing details.
Solution
GECO Energieberatung uses Metaroom to speed up their survey process and capture every detail needed for planning. Rooms are scanned in minutes, producing detailed 3D models that give an immediate, clear view of layouts, structures, and fixtures. This allows the team to understand a space fully before beginning the design phase.
Rapid spatial capture – Metaroom quickly produces accurate 3D models that replace slow, manual measurements. This means the team can move from on-site work to planning without delays.
Visual documentation built in – Photos are captured alongside measurements, providing a visual record of the space that can be accessed anytime. This makes it easy to verify details later without returning to the site.
Height measurements on demand – The ability to take room and parapet heights directly from the model fills in gaps often left by older or incomplete plans.
Seamless CAD integration – Floor plans are exported directly into CAD software, allowing the team to start designing immediately without redrawing from scratch.
This combination of speed, accuracy, and integration helps GECO Energieberatung streamline their workflows—especially for smaller or standardized projects—while ensuring nothing important is missed during the initial survey.

Results
Using Metaroom, GECO Energieberatung has accelerated capture time by up to 50%, depending on the project. Reliable measurements of room and parapet heights—often missing from older plans—are now consistently available. The addition of photos enhances team coordination and simplifies post-processing.
Metaroom integrates smoothly into existing CAD workflows, making it a valuable tool across projects of varying size and complexity. While some follow-up manual measurements remain necessary for highly detailed or complex building parts, Metaroom significantly improves efficiency and digital documentation quality. GECO views the tool as an essential support for digitization that complements traditional surveying methods and helps drive faster, more accurate planning.

Conclusion
For GECO Energieberatung, Metaroom is more than a measurement tool—it is a practical solution that streamlines room capture and supports efficient, accurate planning. Its ability to quickly generate spatial data and integrate smoothly with existing CAD workflows helps save time and enhances project coordination.
While traditional methods remain necessary for highly detailed surveys, Metaroom adds significant value by simplifying routine tasks and improving digital documentation. GECO plans to continue leveraging Metaroom as a reliable aid in their energy consulting projects, balancing speed with precision.
