Project insights: Research for the energy transition

The Therakles simulation software calculates thermal transport processes in individual thermal zones in buildings.

Cities could be so much more energy efficient: waste heat produced by industrial plants could be used to heat buildings in place of fossil fuels.

In Freiberg, the performance of two single-family homes conceived as energy self-sufficient buildings is being scientifically investigated.

In the Hamburg district of Wilhelmsburg, it is shown how regenerative heat can be generated and distributed in urban areas.

The spectacular new central building for Leuphana University Lüneburg interprets energy-optimised construction in a different way.

With the new-build scheme, Erfurt University of Applied Sciences is expanding its traditional “green campus” with a particularly energy-efficient...

A residential complex comprising four 3- or 5-storey buildings with basements and an unconverted attic was in need of refurbishment.

Bioenergy has a special role to play among renewable energy sources. To achieve this, it must be able to fit flexibly into a complex energy system.

The research project is transferring the intracting funding model tested in municipalities to the special conditions that exist at universities.
