Light

Daylight and artificial light are fundamental, multifaceted and impossible to limit to just one discipline. That is why we work in an interdisciplinary environment at the intersection of interior design and technology. Our core topics are the perceived quality of light, innovative lighting technologies and lighting management as well as applications of light and photometric measurements and simulations.

Building automation

Automation is increasingly finding its way into buildings. In residential and functional buildings, it creates comfort, energy efficiency, safety and new functionalities. Our researchers are working on the topics of sensors, control and regulation, the Internet of Things, energy management and power consumption in building automation.

Technical monitoring

We use technical monitoring to record energy and media consumption as well as system statuses in buildings. We deal with all the main steps of the monitoring process, from the collection of measurement data to plausibility checks, to data analysis and visualization. The research group is also involved in the drafting of guidelines.
