The Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics ( Fraunhofer IBP for short ) is an institution of the Fraunhofer Society . The institute is headquartered in Stuttgart . The main task is applied research in the fields of building physics . The institute was founded in 1929.

history

In 1929 the institute was founded as an association to promote the sound and heat technology institute at the materials testing institute of the Technical University in Stuttgart. After the end of the war in 1947, those responsible received approval to operate the Institute for Technical Physics (ITP) at the Technical University in the former building barracks in Stuttgart-Degerloch, in the Sillenbuch post bunker and in the Graf Zeppelin research institute in Ruit. With donations from the industry, a new institute building in Stuttgart-Degerloch was finally built in 1951. In the same year, the Holzkirchen site was also set up with an outdoor test center on a former airfield.

In 1958 the ITP was incorporated into the Fraunhofer Society and at the same time the "Institute for Technical Physics" association was dissolved. In 1971 the institute was given its current name "Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics IBP". The Fraunhofer IBP moved to today's Stuttgart location, the Fraunhofer Campus in Vaihingen, in 1983. In addition to four other Fraunhofer institutes, a joint Fraunhofer administration and lecture hall building is located here. This local change was accompanied by a spatial expansion - in the same year the modern technical center with 3600 m² laboratory space was put into operation. Over the years, additional extensions followed at both locations, which enable extensive research in the field of building physics. In 2016, the Fraunhofer Center for Energy Efficient Renovation of Old Buildings and Monument Preservation Benediktbeuern, which belongs to the Fraunhofer IBP, opened its doors to the public.

Research and Development

The application of building physics principles forms the basis of the research and development work of the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics IBP. In addition to classic building physics topics such as acoustics , energy efficiency , room climate , hygiene and sensor technology , building material recycling and hygrothermics, the institute researches a wide range of projects with high social relevance. For example, it is about integrally designing schools or workspaces, making mobility more environmentally friendly and sustainable, or exploring the energetic potential of entire cities. Analyzing products, processes and services from an ecological, economic, social and technical point of view and subjecting them to holistic balancing form further focal points. A working group for system integration of efficient buildings attached to the department for energy efficiency and indoor climate is researching holistic solutions for buildings that offer maximum comfort at the Nuremberg location.

Together with industrial partners, the Fraunhofer IBP is working on the market launch of new and environmentally friendly building materials, components and building systems. Classic customers include companies in the construction industry, mechanical and plant engineering, property developers and architects, planners and authorities as well as public and private building research organizations.

A number of laboratories and testing facilities as well as one of the largest open-air test sites at the Holzkirchen site enable building physics investigations. Laboratory measurement technology and calculation methods are intended to optimize building products for practical use. Investigations in model rooms, in the test field and on the executed object are used to test the building physics of components and overall systems for new buildings as well as for renovation projects.

Teaching

At the Institute for Acoustics and Building Physics (IABP) at the University of Stuttgart and since 2004 at the Chair for Building Physics at the Technical University of Munich, Fraunhofer IBP researchers impart their in-depth building physics expertise and carry out various research projects in close cooperation with the two institutions. The doctoral colleges “Climate - Culture - Building” and “People in Spaces” are intended to promote basic research on climate-friendly building and the interactions between spaces and people.

Networks and Cooperations

The Fraunhofer IBP is the managing institute of the Fraunhofer Building Alliance. The Allianz office is located in Holzkirchen . The Fraunhofer-Allianz Bau focuses its research on questions of sustainability and resource conservation, but also on the aspect of the health compatibility of building and living as well as on problems of product, system and process optimization.

The Fraunhofer IBP is a member of the Fraunhofer Group for Materials and Components (VWB). This association bundles the competencies of the twelve institutes of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft with a focus on materials science.

Further memberships within the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft exist in the Fraunhofer Transport Alliance. as well as in the Fraunhofer Energy Alliance While the Fraunhofer Transport Alliance offers technical and conceptual solutions for public and industrial clients on everything to do with transport, the Energy Alliance offers everything that industry and the energy sector need in terms of research and development from a single source.

The research alliance for the preservation of cultural heritage (FALKE) includes a further eleven Fraunhofer institutes and six research museums of the Leibniz Association with the Fraunhofer IBP . The goals of the research alliance are demand-oriented joint research with a focus on national and European level as well as faster market transfer of the research results obtained.

The institute is one of the founding partners of the Energie Campus Nürnberg .

Accredited certification body and testing laboratories

The Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics IBP operates a "building authority recognized body" for the testing, monitoring and certification of building products and types in Germany and Europe.

Five test laboratories of the institute have the flexible accreditation according to DIN EN / ISO / IEC 17025 of the German Accreditation Body ( DAkkS ):

  • Fireplaces, exhaust systems
  • Building acoustics, noise protection
  • Thermal parameters
  • Damp, mineral materials
  • Emissions, environment and hygiene

With the award of this accreditation level, the test center is entitled to develop new test methods and modify existing ones.

Infrastructure

At the end of 2018, there were 254 employees (permanent staff, excluding scientific assistants and trainees) at Fraunhofer IBP. The operating budget in the 2018 financial year was 25.2 million euros. Around 36.7% of the operating budget was income from contract research . The remaining funds came from earmarked funds from the federal and state governments as well as funds from the European Union.
