The IBP-meter now complements existing measurement technology at Fraunhofer IBP for the thermal-energetic evaluation of facade components (U-value, g-value).

In the BMBF-funded "EnerKey" project, solutions are being sought for the increasing energy consumption of so-called megacities.

The "AVATOR" project focuses on the detection and reduction of the risk of infection by aerosol-borne viruses in enclosed spaces.

Germany and the European Union have set themselves ambitious climate targets. If these are to be achieved, buildings urgently need to be modernized in order to improve their energy efficiency.

The low-exergy approach aims at satisfying the remaining thermal energy demand using only low quality energy.

The project aims to demonstrate energy and cost efficient solutions for renewable and GHG emission-free energy systems ona community level.

The exergy analysis combines both the first and second law of thermodynamics and allows a better understanding and a more effective design of energy flows.

Exergy is a thermodynamic concept which is useful for quantifying the mismatch between the low quality of heat and the high quality level of electricity.

The majority of energy performance certificates based on DIN V 18599 that are issued in Germany have been prepared with the aid of the CPU core IBP18599kernel. Developed by the Planning Tools Working Group, it is used to solve equations by most of the leading software manufacturers in Germany and is constantly updated and adapted to changes in the assessment method.

Aim of the project was to improve the building energy performance of this residential estate.
