Two types of PU foam adhesive without additional sealing films were used for research on hygrothermal behavior of window/wall interfaces.

In the project Climawin, an electronic window was developed for optimal ventilation with minimal heat loss.

In the “Fraunhofer vs. Corona” program, Fraunhofer IBP has established practical methods to demonstrate the efficiency of air purification technologies.

WiTra is a knowledge transfer platform that provides the latest research findings for applying sustainability in practice.

The Energy Efficiency and Indoor Climate department is helping to mitigate the risk of corona infection in indoor environments and transportation.

In LEE-BED, 17 research & industry partners offer European companies an Open Innovation Test Bed for nanomaterials and printed electronics.

Over the course of this project, various indices for recording the brightness of road surface layers were reviewed and an asphalt testing device was developed.

The aim of the project was to better embed energy-efficient climate protection lighting in the refurbishment of existing buildings and in new construction.

The Acoustics Department of Fraunhofer IBP is investigating how the regular use of cargo drones will affect inner-city traffic noise.

In addition to glazing, work is also underway on solar shading systems to ensure the supply of glare-free daylight without overheating effects.

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.

Optimal light for modern computer workstations by networking monitor, luminaire, sunshade manufacturers and HCL-Con lighting control.

The project aims to explore ways to recycle processed ash from waste incineration plants as a raw material for concrete.

The joint project UCARe4Citizen investigates the necessary framework conditions to simulate the climate impacts of urban planning measures and to visualize them in augmented reality.

This project aims at developing a concept for raising standardized, multi-story residential buildings using serially prefabricated components (surface elements / modules) with a high degree of prefabrication, including technical systems for building services.

The aim is to develop an innovative and user-friendly urban climate model called PALM-4U - including validation and testing of its practical suitability.

In the "ProPolis" project, the prerequisites necessary for the long-term operational operation of PALM-4U are being developed and summarized in a continuation strategy.

The focus of the studies was so-called fume events on board commercial flights - events that fill the cabin with unusual smells but not necessarily visible smoke.

If a room is hot and stuffy, if colleagues are on the phone all the time or a neighbor plays loud music, this can cause stress. The well-being and health of people in living areas and offices depend not only on the climatic conditions, but also on the acoustics. This is where absorbers come into play.

The POMPEJI Arch&Lab project aims to contribute to the understanding of the handling of monuments and the sustainable protection of the monumental heritage.

The aim of the "EeBGuide" is for Europe to apply uniform and binding rules that put working with LCA on a common basis.
