Team “Building Energy Systems and Building Automation“

The Building Energy Systems and Building Automation team addresses all issues related to the energy demand of buildings and system components, always with a focus on the reduction of the energy demand while considering the benefit requirements.

Research focus

The Building Energy Systems and Building Automation team addresses energetic issues of buildings as well as of individual system components and energy systems for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. The evaluation correlates with the demand development, i.e. based on the case of application, the benefit transfer in the room, via the distribution, storage, and the generation of energy.

The behavior of buildings and systems is investigated via coupled building and systems simulations or computational fluid dynamics. Besides, system components are investigated in laboratory tests or with the hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) method.
