The project combines innovation, technology, and sustainability in a unique research network, designed to make quantum technologies tangible, application-oriented, and future-proof. In addition to fostering new cooperation formats for idea development and rapid prototyping, the project emphasizes the robust investigation of ecological, social, and economic aspects of the applications, as well as the added value that these technologies can deliver.

In line with Germany's sustainability strategy and in support of the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics IBP has launched the joint project “AACtion,” dedicated to the development of environmentally friendly building materials. Facing the challenges of increasing global urbanization pressures, the project aims to significantly enhance resource efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint in the construction industry.

At the Fraunhofer IBP, we are developing innovative, digital, and building physics solutions designed to measurably improve sleep quality. Our goal is to promote a new understanding of healthy sleep through intelligently designed rooms. Companies in construction, technology, hotel, and healthcare directly benefit from practice-oriented concepts, new services, and sound scientific expertise.

With the growing importance of sustainable construction and increasing demands for comfort and efficiency, timber and lightweight buildings are becoming more prevalent. However, these construction types pose specific challenges in terms of noise transmission from technical building systems. To address this issue, the Fraunhofer IBP is developing the “PreNoise Wood” research project - a groundbreaking method for predicting and reducing installation noise in resource-efficient buildings.
