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.

Based on the Berlin pilot project the evaluation and dissemination of the "Efficiency House Plus standard" was set as a goal.

The aim of the research study is to develop concepts for »Buildings heated by wind-power«, which are heated during periods of strong wind only.

Researchers at Fraunhofer IBP are assessing the long-term effectiveness of antimicrobial finishes applied to surfaces.
