Research

With its research, the Department aims to contribute to the realization of sustainable, energy-efficient buildings with high user acceptance. Research areas are

  • Energy-efficient systems engineering, in particular demand-controlled ventilation
  • Innovative energy-efficient system concepts for new and existing buildings
  • Creation of positive framework conditions for the implementation of sustainable system technology solutions on a broad scale.
