Based on the Berlin pilot project the evaluation and dissemination of the "Efficiency House Plus standard" was set as a goal.

Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics IBP working on several research projects to increase the energy efficiency of cities and urban districts.

The aim of the research study is to develop concepts for »Buildings heated by wind-power«, which are heated during periods of strong wind only. The thermal energy stored inside these buildings can be provided for such a long time that practically no additional energy is needed for DHW and space heating purposes.

This project shows that local, close-to-body air-conditioning measures can be more energy efficient and more comfortable than conventional air-heating.

The aim of this project is the establishment of a simulation chain for aircraft cabin environments.

New, environmentally-friendly fire extinguishing agents are being tested in the cargo area of the Flight Test Facility.

In the business jet mock-up at Fraunhofer IBP's flight laboratory - the Flight Test Facility - studies on cabin comfort and comfort measurements are carried out.

The experts at Fraunhofer IBP are analyzing the concept of combining noise control structures with photovoltaic systems and assessing the respective carbon footprint.

To reduce road traffic noise, Fraunhofer IBP is conducting studies on motorcycle noise and on the potential of quiet tires.

Fraunhofer IBP evaluated the climate neutrality of real estate belonging to the City of Oldenburg on the basis of three renovation scenarios to achieve energy efficiency.
