Kick-Off Webinar for the E-Learning Module: Building Simulation in Design and Operation
On November 30, 2016, the kick-off meeting was held in the form of an online webinar with all enrolled students to launch the new e-learning course…
The Built Environment department deals with building technology components and systems and their interaction in the building as a system. Heat supply, fresh air supply, lighting and dynamic facade control are tasks for which new and innovative solutions are developed and investigated. Decentralized approaches and human-technology interaction are of great importance. The aim of the research is to create sustainable buildings that are energy-efficient and economical to run, and that offer their users maximum comfort.
In addition, the department develops innovative energy concepts in combination with economic feasibility studies and risk assessments for clients from industry and commerce. In past projects, concepts with hydrogen, biomass and power-to-X were developed for large industrial customers (e.g. from the automotive industry and retail), which are always oriented to the needs and requirements of the clients.
We are a multinational team with a highly interdisciplinary focus: scientists* from civil engineering, building physics, mechanical engineering, computer science and architecture work together and use both experimental and computational simulation methods.
In the Living Lab smart office space, we test technologies in use and present our findings to a broader public.
