Sustainability in Practice at STUDIO IN-EX
On June 5, we celebrate World Environment Day, an annual occasion that highlights the importance of sustainability and environmental responsibility. Protecting our environment is not only a global challenge but also a responsibility reflected in the everyday decisions we make and the way we operate as a business.
At STUDIO IN-EX, we are committed to incorporating sustainable practices into our working environment and daily operations. One of the foundations of this commitment is the location of our Budapest office in the Népliget Center Office Complex, a building recognized for its environmentally conscious and energy-efficient solutions. The complex has been awarded the European Commission’s GreenBuilding Partner status and recently achieved the prestigious BREEAM In-Use Excellent certification.
Harnessing the Benefits of Natural Light
We believe that a pleasant workplace not only enhances productivity but also supports sustainability goals. Thanks to the building’s thoughtful design, every workstation has access to natural daylight, reducing the need for artificial lighting during working hours. Operable windows and large green walls throughout the office further contribute to improved air quality and employee well-being.
Smart Solutions for Energy Savings
Energy-efficient lighting, motion sensors in restroom areas, and automated lighting controls in common spaces all help reduce unnecessary energy consumption. In addition, selected office areas utilize smart control systems to optimize heating and cooling performance.
Recycling and Responsible Waste Management
Environmental responsibility is also reflected in our waste management practices. We encourage selective waste collection by providing dedicated recycling facilities for paper and plastic waste, as well as collection points for used batteries. The office building also uses carpeting made from 85% recycled materials, supporting the principles of a circular economy.
Supporting Sustainable Mobility
The location of our office makes it easy for employees to choose environmentally friendly modes of transportation. The Népliget Center is conveniently accessible by metro, tram, and bus, while bicycle storage facilities, changing rooms, and showers are available for those who commute by bike.
World Environment Day serves as an important reminder that sustainability is not a one-time initiative but an ongoing commitment. At STUDIO IN-EX, we believe that conscious decisions and environmentally responsible solutions contribute not only to the protection of our planet but also to the well-being of our community and future generations.

From idea to impact
At IN-EX, we believe that our greatest asset is the knowledge, experience and curiosity of our people. The Innovation Hub was created to ensure that our engineers’ ideas do not remain isolated suggestions: we give them space, develop them together, and take initiatives that create real value all the way through to implementation.
Structural Challenges of an Automated Warehouse System and a BIM-Based Solution
Our project serves as a good example of how adapting existing industrial buildings to modern technologies can present a complex engineering challenge. The implementation of the automated high-bay warehouse system involved not only a technological conversionbut also the adaptation of an existing reinforced concrete hall structure to new operational, structural, and fire safety requirements.
New Technology, Existing Structure: A Steel Structural Solution for the Conversion of an Automated High-Bay Warehouse
During the interior conversion of a high-bay warehouse attached to a manufacturing plant, it became necessary to install a state-of-the-art automated storage system. In the first phase of the project, we were commissioned to assess, at the conceptual design stage, whether the existing structural framework was suitable for accommodating the new technological system and to determine what structural modifications would be required to implement the conversion.
One Office, One Model: The Benefits of 3D Design and Multidisciplinary Collaboration
STUDIO IN-EX is a multidisciplinary design studio where almost every design discipline is represented under one roof. Every day, our colleagues experience the benefits of having designers from different disciplines work side by side, within a shared closed BIM environment and in the same office. What are these benefits in practice? We spoke to Lilla Vámos, one of our low-voltage systems designers, about her experience.
Case Study: Saving on Investment Costs Through Smart Warehouse Design
We believe that the investment cost of a project can be influenced to a significant extent during the design phase. For this reason, our approach goes beyond simply meeting the applicable requirements. We also investigate alternative technical solutions that can provide the same level of technical performance and safety while resulting in lower investment costs.
Model Checking Is Not About Finding Errors
In model-based design, a BIM model is no longer just a 3D representation. A well-structured model contains geometry, information, and discipline-specific relationships in a single source of truth. It drives drawings, quantity take-offs, schedules, equipment lists, technical data deliverables, and serves as the common platform for multidisciplinary coordination.
