Here we list the newly added projects.

 

CRUFI

In this project, the durability of concrete with and without chloride-containing recycled aggregate will be investigated with regard to different exposures, and under consideration of the CO2 binding capacity. Therefore, taking into consideration temperature, moisture, corrosivity and time as elements, transient predition models for reinforcing corrosion will be developed.

 

Monitoring the energy efficiency of the Mathildenhöhe exhibition building in Darmstadt

The building’s energy efficiency is being monitored in order to support the start-up of the technology and enable the innovative renovation concept to be validated.

 

Solar VHF: Recovering energy using façade elements

The aim of the project is to develop solar thermo-active façades for both new and renovated buildings, as well as to evaluate the energy saving potential based on the example of apartment buildings. 

 

Fraunhofer Circonomy® Hubs

The Fraunhofer IBP is involved in setting up several Fraunhofer CIRCONOMY® Hubs. The main topics addressed include separating building rubble and recycling building materials and products in the urban ecosystem. Furthermore, access to reliable and credible information on environmental impacts, supply chains and production conditions will enable companies and consumers to exercise sovereignty.

    Crop damage can be prevented by pheromones.

    An alternative to conventional insecticides is the use of pheromones. Pheromones released during crop growth prevent male insects from finding their female partners, thus preventing reproduction.
