Designing, dimensioning and optimizing the operation of energy-efficient new constructions and existing buildings based on building information modeling (BIM)

In the project "AIR-COSIM" the combination of ventilation systems for low-cost housing is investigated.

This project targets to develop new eco-materials and compo­nents for the purpose of creating both healthier and more energy efficient buildings.

Building-Information-Modeling (BIM) method is ideally demonstrated and scientifically evaluated by reference to two tangible building projects.

The VASE research project focuses on establishing a test environment enabling the assessment of the energy performance of compound systems under realistic load conditions.

Project goal: Develop an efficient urban climate model that is both practical and easy to use.

Building material from bulrushes is predestined for industrial use due to its enormous productivity. The Fraunhofer IBP shows the cultivation of typha.

The joint "EcoCab" project will decisively contribute to the development of a holistic strategy for improving sustainability throughout the shipbuilding industry.

The ISO 362-3 standard describes the measurement of the LUrban type testing level, consisting of a combination of the simulated pass-by in a test facility and a real pass-by. Read more here.

The acousticians at the Fraunhofer IBP investigate in the context of the project "Fraunhofer System Research for Electro-Mobility" the various aspects of future car concepts, and drive systems, as well as the storage and distribution of energy.

The rapid economic development in Vietnam has led to changes in lifestyles and needs, accompanied by novel materials, building typologies, constructions and supply systems. This is associated with a variety of building physics challenges, especially under the demanding climate conditions. The German-Vietnamese project "CAMaRSEC" addresses these challenges through the implementation and further development of energy-efficient, resource-efficient and sustainable building practices.

Holistic solutions and methods are required to provide the cities of tomorrow with a sustainable basis in terms of urban building physics and to unleash the potential of complex structures.

Good acoustics in schools and daycare centers are important for learning, teaching and living. A study shows measures and compares the costs.

The installation of internal insulation is often the only way to improve thermal insulation in the renovation of old buildings.

Since 2012, the Fraunhofer IBP has been working on a research project for reversible interior insulation in the old building of Benediktbeuern Monastery, which is worthy of protection.

The Fraunhofer IBP and the German Sports Teachers Association (DSLV BW) focused in this project on the acoustics of sports halls and indoor swimming pools, especially for educational use.

Noise is a significant burden in everyday life and at work. Acoustically optimized products ensure more safety, comfort and the "right sound" - Fraunhofer is developing innovative solutions using polymeric materials.

The "Healthy Air Initiative" aims at providing companies with quick, practical, and scientifically proven solutions to reduce the transmission of viruses via aerosols.

The SafeCar project aimed to reduce the risk of infection for paramedics and patients in ambulances by finding ways of eliminating viruses in a swift and efficient manner.

As a raw material for the production of building materials, cattail offers numerous ecological and economic advantages.
