Cutting carbon emissions by more than two-thirds with consistently high quality: Specialists from the Fraunhofer IBP will be showcasing their solutions at the BAU 2025.

From January 13 to 17, 2025, the Fraunhofer Building Innovation Alliance will be presenting innovations as part of its special exhibition at the BAU 2025 trade fair in three key areas of transformation in the construction industry: sustainability, productivity and resilience.

How can as much natural light as possible be used inside offices without glare and excessive heating from the sun? Researchers at the Fraunhofer IBP set out to find a happy medium between bright and dark. In two projects funded by the German federal economics ministry, TaLED and TaHo, they teamed up with partners to develop micro-optical components for vertical glass facades.

Heavy rain, storms, and drought are taking their toll on even centuries-old structures. How do we preserve our cultural heritage? At the Fraunhofer Center for Conservation and Energy Performance of Historic Buildings Benediktbeuern Prof. Ralf Kilian and his team are studying how historical structures and materials can be preserved and protected – especially against the impacts of climate change. 

Fraunhofer IBP has developed a series of interesting products that involved the entire expertise of its specialist departments. If you are interested in further solutions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
