Ground level flow field calculated with PALM-4U, Ernst-Reuter-Platz, Berlin.
The aim is to develop an innovative and user-friendly urban climate model called PALM-4U - including validation and testing of its practical suitability.
more infoAnalysis of a PALM-4U simulation.
In the "ProPolis" project, the prerequisites necessary for the long-term operational operation of PALM-4U are being developed and summarized in a continuation strategy.

If seals are damaged, engine oil vapors can get into the cabin air supply.
The focus of the studies was so-called fume events on board commercial flights - events that fill the cabin with unusual smells but not necessarily visible smoke.

Various sound absorbers, which were initially developed on the computer.
If a room is hot and stuffy, if colleagues are on the phone all the time or a neighbor plays loud music, this can cause stress. The well-being and health of people in living areas and offices depend not only on the climatic conditions, but also on the acoustics. This is where absorbers come into play.

View of a cubiculum in the Casa dei Postumii in Pompeii, with restored original wall plaster.
Preserving ancient sites and looking after them carefully is one of the great challenges of our time. What better place to do that than in Pompeii? After all, this is the most completely preserved ancient city in the world and therefore has a very rich architectural heritage that must be conserved.

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.
