Wind Noise generated by Façade Elements can partly reach such a high sound level that the well-being of the people inside the building and outside in the immediate vicinity can be affected.

Our projects entitled “Clean Air Acoustics”, “AC/DC”, and “Healthy Air Initiative” focus on finding ways to purify air in rooms while keeping noise levels low.

The solution presented here follows the approach to integrate a robust, purely metallic resonator with micro-perforation in the rim.

Electrically driven heat pumps and air conditioning systems are future-oriented technologies of the energy transition. For widespread use in multi-family houses or office buildings, a new generation of devices is required.

In this project, the durability of concrete with and without chloride-containing recycled aggregate will be investigated.

Already today, Fraunhofer IBP is developing energy concepts that address the goal of greenhouse gas neutrality.

Mobile indoor air purifiers remove infectious aerosols from the air or deactivate the pathogens contained within.

Our scientists are conducting research on electrodynamic fragmentation (EDF) with a view to recycling inorganic composite materials.

At a school in Kochi, local regional partners and researchers from various Fraunhofer Institutes are testing technologies for adapting to the changing climate.

Fraunhofer IBP is helping to identify the potential of concrete and to exploit it accordingly.

The aim of the DIAL project was to improve lighting and energy-related façade planning by providing suitable planning tools.

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.

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

The Höhenkirchen-Siegertsbrunn community wanted to build a children's daycare center that is particularly sustainable and generates more energy than it consumes.

Fraunhofer IBP has developed an integral concept to improve Kunsthalle Mannheim’s energy efficiency.

IEA SHC Task 50 is a subproject of the joint project "Energetic and ergonomic optimization of new lighting systems for refurbishment and new construction".

The aim of this project is the establishment of a simulation chain for aircraft cabin environments.

This project analyses the impact of environmental conditions on avionics ventilation and simulation of the avionics space.

New, environmentally-friendly fire extinguishing agents are being tested in the cargo area of the Flight Test Facility.

Subject tests in the Flight Test Facility determine the influence of air quality in the aircraft cabin on performance and well-being.

In the business jet mock-up at Fraunhofer IBP's flight laboratory - the Flight Test Facility - studies on cabin comfort and comfort measurements are carried out.
