Academy of Conservation and Care for the Environment

In pursuit of safeguarding the values of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Petra (Jordan) given the challenges of rapid societal and climatic change, the Academy of Conservation and Care for the Environment 2024 (ACCE) aims to foster national and international knowledge exchange among post graduate students and young professionals. 

 

Climate-adapted material research in Vietnam

The rapid economic development in Vietnam has led to changes in lifestyles and needs, accompanied by novel materials, building typologies, constructions and supply systems. This is associated with a variety of building physics challenges, especially under the demanding climate conditions. The project "CAMaRSEC" addresses these challenges through the implementation and further development of energy-efficient, resource-efficient and sustainable building practices.

 

UV virus protection glass

The basic idea of this project was to further develop a glass coated with titanium dioxide (TiO2), which generates reactive oxygen species through a photocatalytic process and thus reduces the viral and bacterial load, into a practically applicable transparent virus protection element. The virus protection glass can improve hygiene at sales counters, in kitchens, in refrigerators as well as in the medical field.

 

Taho - Energy-efficient and cost-efficient daylight lighting using micro-optical building components

A structure for vertical façades has already been pre-developed in dimensions suitable for building applications that directs daylight to areas deep inside a building without glare. This is currently being tested in demonstration buildings.

    Logo of the joint project BUOLUS.

    Municipalities are faced with the challenge of adapting to climate change. On the one hand, they have to choose effective and sustainable measures, and on the other hand, they have to take into account the interests of residents and act under cost pressure. Key areas where cities need to take action include structural and spatial design and urban use of land. More about this in the Buolus project.

    Relative change in percent of (psycho)acoustic parameters plotted against the distance to a point source (broadband noise) compared with calculation results from the SoundPLANnoise® software (suffix "SP", dashed curves) [1] cf. [2].

    Psychoacoustics help to predict sound immission so that the actually perceived noise load can be mapped with a view to improving noise control.
