Systematic building analysis forms the basis for applied building research. It is only when the data, facts and observations from the individual projects are scientifically treated as part of project-wide analysis that they become really valuable for research and the construction sector. The data that has been systematically recorded over long periods of time can also be used by other research groups.
The current research areas are...
- Zero-energy and zero-emissions buildings
- Building usage costs
- User satisfaction and thermal comfort
- Optimisation of building operation
- Construction material and design solutions to avoid damage in new buildings and refurbishment
- Continued development of simulation processes for research and teaching
