Energy Efficient Buildings and Plots

The Competence Centers Center for Integrated Building Technology (ZIG), iHomeLab, Envelopes and Solar Energy and the research group Power Economy conduct research in self-sufficient lighting systems, building energy management and urban decentralized energy systems (DES) together with the core team LUCCERNE within the SCCER Future Energy Efficient Buildings and Districts (FEEBD).

Themenfelder

Energy Fingerprint

The ZIG develops methods for the automatic recognition of the potential for electrical optimization – the “fingerprint”“ of buildings.

Perception Based Building Control

The iHomeLab develops methods for perception based building control to reduce energy demand whilst retaining the same level of comfort.

Lighting Systems

The CC EASE conducts research in the more efficient use of daylight and the simulation of window systems.

Energy Hub

The ZIG develops new concepts for increasing the efficiency and use of locally available renewable energy sources in areas and districts (DES).

Recommendation and Business Models

The ZIG and research group Power Economy develop „Best Practice Guidelines“ and business models, for the widest possible use of the potential of decentralized energy systems.

Pilot and Flagship Projects

The NODES (New Opportunities for Decentralized Energy Systems) Lab, as part of ZIG, conducts research in new concepts and business strategies for thermal networks and its further development into Multi-Energy-Grids (multi technology infrastructure of electricity, gas und thermal grids).
