Facade Construction Developement of new facade systems

In addition to structural and building physics engineering, the Competence Center for Building Envelopes and Civil Engineering also has expertise in facade structures and construction. Its highly experienced members offer a wide range of services to support the development and advancement of simple and complex facade constructions alike, taking into account static and dynamic aspects.

Developement of new facade systems

The Competence Center has extensive experience in the development of bespoke facade systems for unique projects at home and abroad (e.g. in England, Spain, France, Mexico and Luxembourg). The Center’s staff are involved in national and international research groups, ensuring their familiarity with the latest developments in facade construction, which, in turn, flows into the development of new facade systems. We offer support in parameterization, 3D design, static and thermal calculations as well as facade mockup testing.

The cooperation with our industry partners extends over all project phases. We support you from the conception to the definition of project details to the realization of market-ready solutions and to the prototyping and subsequent testing stages. The Competence Center creates initial design sketches and planning documents from the first prototype to the finished product. A wide range of different software packages including specially developed programs is available to address static and building physics-related issues. From an initial study of our customer's systems, to the exchange between project participants and workshops, we develop ideas hand in hand with our industry partners.

Gebäudehülle - Fassadenkonstruktion: Adaptive Fassade

Adaptive facades

The Competence Center`s initiation and coordination of the foremost international network in the field of "adaptive facades" («COST TU1403: Adaptive Facades Network») was the launchpad for a host of research and project support activities for adaptive facade solutions. They include the developement of new components and technologies, the integration of existing technologies for adaptive facade purposes, and the developement of new methods, including evaluation tools and design methods. One recent project dedicated to this field is the  «SEBF - Solar-energy balanced façade» research project.
