The Fraunhofer IBP received an accompanying research contract worth one million euros from the Chinese urban development company of "Foshan New City".

In the textile industry there is a wide range of high-tech products that can also offer solutions for building physics issues.

A promising way to reduce the amount of condensation on facade surfaces is the use of "IR coatings" (IR = infrared).

With the findings and the determined material characteristics of the various screeds, the researchers can now simulate the drying of screed layers.

As far as construction concepts and quality in construction in China are concerned, they are technically different from those that are common in Germany.

In the research project Climate Models 1 of the Fraunhofer IBP, indoor climate models for the most important adjacent room categories are created.

New regulations such as the Energy Saving Ordinance raise the question of how efficiently ventilation systems work in terms of energy consumption.

In order to describe the building moisture and thermal insulation of exterior walls more precisely, constructions were built and examined at the Fraunhofer IBP.

Climate change endangers centuries-old murals, paintings, furniture & textiles. Can the decay be stopped? A cultural journey through space and time.

Researchers at the Fraunhofer IBP have replaced the condensate-sensitive materials with unavoidable waste from PTFE production. In this approach, the scientists achieve sustainability in three respects.

In the course of time, new tasks have emerged from the original task of plastering, which must be taken into account when producing exterior plasters.

If you want to tackle the energetic renovation of half-timbered buildings, there are some challenges - the experts need special know-how.

With respect to structural noise protection, stud walls can be considered equivalent to solid walls – at least with regard to human voice and similar sounds.

According to a survey conducted by the Federal Environment Agency, more than 50% of all respondents feel that construction noise is annoying. Inflatable Membrane Elements offer the solution.

The researchers at the Fraunhofer IBP investigated how to optimize the sound of a newly developed manual carillon.

Noise from ventilation systems and devices often cause annoyance. The Fraunhofer IBP has developed Slim Transducers for Active Duct Silencers.

To date, the dimensioning of organ pipes is carried out according to the scaling rules established in the last century.

Porous building materials for sound and thermal insulation made of fine-grained concrete, construction and demolition waste. You could say that "dust" becomes "gold".

When approaching for landing the noise is dominated by the air flow at the wings and landing gears. The Fraunhofer IBP conducts Wind Tunnel Measurement on an Aircraft Wing.

In the development of acoustic window control, the Fraunhofer IBP focuses primarily on sensors, control systems, and quiet drive systems.

Adhesives and sealants with elastic properties are of significant importance for modern construction engineering.

The transmission of low-frequency vibrations from installations and equipment into the structure can be considerably reduced already at the point of introduction.

The aim of the project is to design the mandatory acoustic functions in an energy-efficient way.

At the Fraunhofer IBP investigations were conducted on how the ripening process of fruits can be specifically controlled by close monitoring with Photoacoustic Sensors in order to reduce energy consumption, extend the transportability of the fruit, and minimize costs.
