Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics IBP

Researchers at the Fraunhofer IBP and the Fraunhofer IEE are developing a facade module that integrates the technical building equipment and supplies it with renewable energy to heat, cool and ventilate the adjoining rooms.

To relax and enjoy the film, you want to know that the risk of infection while watching is as low as possible. The good ventilation systems typical of movie theaters make sure that any infectious aerosols are quickly removed. This has also been confirmed by the latest analyses from the CineCov project funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media (BKM).

In the cover story of the current Fraunhofer magazine "What the future is made of", Dr. Volker Thome, Head of the Department Inorganic Materials and Recycling, presents recycling methods that can be used to fill future gaps in raw material extraction. The focus is on the ENSUBA, BauCycle and FAVRE projects, among others.

Which extreme climate events will affect cultural heritage in Germany? And how can it be protected from damaging climatic effects? Fraunhofer researchers are investigating this in the BMBF project KERES. An ensemble of ten regional climate models makes it possible to reliably predict which extreme weather events threaten the historical buildings and gardens and to what extent.

Fraunhofer IBP has developed a series of interesting products that involved the entire expertise of its specialist departments. If you are interested in further solutions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
