Compact Sí Dog Grooming Salon – 45 m² with Extremely Low Operating Costs, book a consultation

Compact Grooming Salon with Extremely Low Operating Costs

The Sí Dog Grooming Salon is a compact, modular dog grooming facility with approximately 45 m² of usable floor space, developed for professional groomers who want to operate with low fixed costs, stable indoor climate conditions, and reduced dependence on energy price fluctuations.

The building is based on the Sí-Climate construction system and combines a robust, durable structure with passive climate control and thermal storage technologies.
The objective is not maximum technical complexity, but minimal ongoing operating costs achieved through physical system design.

Space Concept (approx. 45 m²)

The layout is functionally optimized for daily grooming operations:

Washing Area
Designed for small to large dogs, with sufficient freedom of movement and splash zones.

Drying and Grooming Area
Combined workspace for trimming, drying, and finishing.
Optionally usable as a small retail area for grooming products.

Storage and Office Zone
Integrated storage space for equipment, consumables, and administration.

WC and Technical Niche

Entrance Corridor / Airlock
Reduces heat ingress in summer and heat loss in winter.

Energy and Climate Concept (Sí-Climate)

The Sí Dog Grooming Salon is structurally designed for climate stability and requires no conventional air conditioning system and no heat pump.

Core Systems:

Sí-Air – Passive Cooling and Temperature Regulation
Electricity-free basic cooling using ground air, thermal mass, and natural air buoyancy.
Operates without compressors or refrigerants and requires minimal maintenance.

Sí-Water – Cistern and Thermal Storage
Storage of water, cooling capacity, and heat as a thermal buffer for day/night stabilization.
Pressure-free, durable, and operationally reliable.

Optional: Sí-Sand Thermal Storage
Integration of thermal sand storage for the use of solar surplus energy or waste heat.
Enables seasonal heat storage without fossil fuels.

Result:
Stable indoor temperatures, reduced humidity, no drafts – suitable for animals, staff, and equipment.

Electricity & Autonomy

The salon can optionally be operated off-grid, but it is not designed as a technology-intensive island system.

• Small island PV system for base loads (lighting, equipment, ventilation)
• No continuous operation of energy-intensive heating or cooling systems
• Very low monthly energy costs

Autonomy is achieved through building physics and storage, not through oversized technology.

Energy configuration is demand-oriented and project-specific.
The size and design of PV or power supply systems are not fixed components of the base description and are defined individually during consultation.

Construction & Adaptability

• Modular construction (container frame system)
• Short construction and assembly times
• Adaptable to site conditions, climate, and regulatory requirements
• Owner participation possible in defined construction stages (by agreement)

During consultation, the following aspects are clarified:

• which tasks can be carried out by the client
• which level of build-out is appropriate
• which permits are required
• a realistic schedule and cost framework

Suitable For

• Self-employed dog groomers
• Regions with high energy or rental costs
• Sites without secure infrastructure
• Entrepreneurs seeking predictability rather than technical dependency

Reversibility & Site Flexibility

The Sí Dog Grooming Salon is designed to be fully demountable and reversible.

The structure is not permanently connected to the ground and can be dismantled without damage or reassembled at another location.

• Installation on screw foundations (ground-friendly, optional)
• Bolted load-bearing structure (no cast or bonded connections)
• Fully removable modules, walls, and roof
• Accessible, modular technical installations

Complete dismantling is possible within a few days, allowing the site to be restored to its original condition.
This is a key advantage in sensitive areas, peripheral locations, or projects with temporary permits.

Price

Price from €26,000 applies to the base module.

What Makes the Sí-Climate System Different

Operation Without Conventional Heating or Cooling Costs

The key difference of the Sí-Climate System lies not in additional technology, but in the physical and structural design of the building.

The system operates without conventional heating, air conditioning, or heat pumps.
As a result, there are no ongoing heating or cooling costs in the conventional sense.
