In this research cooperation project with TERI (India), the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics IBP develops a verification methodology for energy-efficient residential buildings.

The E-CirP project uses modern pedagogical approaches in the analysis of real industrial cases, bringing together companies and students within the EU.

In the Herzo Opt project, the energy monitoring of a terraced housing complex complete with operational optimization was transferred to a long-term monitoring program and scientifically accompanied.

The Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt is an architectural ensemble, a historical and listed building of the Jugendstil.

Researchers are therefore looking into ways to prevent damage to cultural assets and thus protect our cultural heritage.

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.

The international CBD defines biodiversity as the variety of species and genetic diversity within individual species and the diversity of ecosystems.

In a two-year energy monitoring phase, the renovation concept of the Mathildenhöhe exhibition hall in Darmstadt is being verified.

Adjusting the energy consumption of a building to compensate for the effects of weather and usage on the basis of short-term measurements.

Development of a rear-ventilated façade with integrated heat exchanger to recover energy to heat buildings.

Fraunhofer IBP was commissioned to develop a monitoring concept, ensure its correct implementation and to prove compliance with the Efficiency House Plus standard.

The goal of the joint project “RESycling” is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the steel, cement and fertilizer industries, as well as to recover valuable raw materials.

Fraunhofer rethinks linear value creation - adaptation to circular, sovereign value creation.

Fraunhofer is rethinking the linear value chain - with the aim of turning it into a circular, sovereign circular economy.

To validate indoor climate requirements, the room climate in Cologne’s Historical Archive is being monitored.

Our projects entitled “Clean Air Acoustics”, “AC/DC”, and “Healthy Air Initiative” focus on finding ways to purify air in rooms while keeping noise levels low.

In this project, the durability of concrete with and without chloride-containing recycled aggregate will be investigated.

Already today, Fraunhofer IBP is developing energy concepts that address the goal of greenhouse gas neutrality.

Mobile indoor air purifiers remove infectious aerosols from the air or deactivate the pathogens contained within.

Our scientists are conducting research on electrodynamic fragmentation (EDF) with a view to recycling inorganic composite materials.

At a school in Kochi, local regional partners and researchers from various Fraunhofer Institutes are testing technologies for adapting to the changing climate.

Fraunhofer IBP is helping to identify the potential of concrete and to exploit it accordingly.

The aim of the DIAL project was to improve lighting and energy-related façade planning by providing suitable planning tools.

The Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development and Building has launched the successor to the Plus Energy House: Efficiency House Plus with Electric Mobility.

The project aimed to raise the market share of renovation measures with a view to increasing energy efficiency and promoting the use of renewable energy.

The main outcome of the project is the “IT Toolkit for Energy Efficient Retrofit Measures”, a collection of software support tools.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics IBP records and evaluates information such as key consumption data on heating energy, domestic hot water energy and electricity.

The research project received funding from the International Energy Agency (IEA) in the scope of EBC Annex 58. The project aims at advancing existing procedures for in-situ measurements (mainly for transparent building components). Another goal is the definition of appropriate methods for data analysis and error estimation.

VR MultiSense, immersive experiences for resilient decisions in the construction process lead to cost reduction by involving all parties involved.

The aim of the project is the practical and theoretical investigation of central storage facilities ('estate electricity storage') for surplus regenerative (PV) energy.
