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.

Comparison of the hygrothermal behavior of particle foam insulation with conventional glass wool insulation.

The joint project "Energy-efficient cabin systems and interior (KASI)" is concerned with thermal and acoustic comfort in the galley/door area of an aircraft.
