The HiPIE laboratory enables the conditioning of the environmental conditions acoustics, lighting, room climate and air quality on a room area of approx. 45 sqm.

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.

The ISO 362-3 standard describes the measurement of the LUrban type testing level, consisting of a combination of the simulated pass-by in a test facility and a real pass-by. Read more here.

The acousticians at the Fraunhofer IBP investigate in the context of the project "Fraunhofer System Research for Electro-Mobility" the various aspects of future car concepts, and drive systems, as well as the storage and distribution of energy.

Holistic solutions and methods are required to provide the cities of tomorrow with a sustainable basis in terms of urban building physics and to unleash the potential of complex structures.

Good acoustics in schools and daycare centers are important for learning, teaching and living. A study shows measures and compares the costs.

The Fraunhofer IBP and the German Sports Teachers Association (DSLV BW) focused in this project on the acoustics of sports halls and indoor swimming pools, especially for educational use.

Noise is a significant burden in everyday life and at work. Acoustically optimized products ensure more safety, comfort and the "right sound" - Fraunhofer is developing innovative solutions using polymeric materials.

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

Acoustically-designed façade and balcony elements - with sound-absorbing materials and smart systems that reduce noise pollution.
