Thanks to the laboratory “High Performance Indoor Environment (HiPIE)”, building physics environmental conditions can be specifically controlled.
Larger open workspaces are becoming increasingly common. However, open plan offices require detailed integral planning in order to achieve good working conditions in the rooms.
more infoProcess of acoustic product design.
Acoustic design or sound design is established in numerous branches of industry as an integral part of product development.
more infoEspecially in the case of buildings in lightweight construction, e.g. with a supporting structure made of wood, the subject of impact sound is of high relevance.
If, in particular, the footfall sound of wooden ceilings is insufficiently insulated, listening in is unavoidable and every step of the neighbour is disturbing.
more infoArtificial head in wind tunnel.
How do wind speed and wind angle of incidence affect the ear and the hearing aid? The Fraunhofer IBP has tested hearing aids in a wind tunnel.
more infoMonitor integrated into the transparent element of a mobile partition wall.
With their many functions, movable partitions open up new possibilities for variable room use and attractive room design.
more infoCylindrical granules for the production of sound-absorbing model substances.
If the acoustic design of the microstructure of granular sound absorbers is carried out specifically, more efficient materials than usual can be constructed.
