Center for Climate-Engineering

Department for Building and Environment

Head:

Dipl.-Ing. Daniela Trauninger

Our Aims

Our generation faces the challenge of climate change which is also associated with a wide range of eco-socio-political problems.

Regarding that topic the housing and building takes, relative to the total energy consumption, a high priority.
We accept this challenge in the building sector by taking over responsibility in the field of economic, resource-saving and sustainable building development.

The aim is to apply the principle of sustainability to derive clear statements and recommendations in order to contribute to a positive social development.

Our core competencies

Thermic and hygric building physics

Building-energy design, dynamic building simulation

Heating, ventilation and air conditioning technology, renewable energies

Interior comfort, outdoor air analysis

The service spectrum of the Center for Climate-Engineering is focused on research and consulting services, where practical questions of the building industry are answered. We define the built environment as a result of complex interactions among people as users, with needs and demands on the one hand, and a concrete place with its marginal conditions and the associated tolerance limits on the other.

This implies the most important fields of work within our research and consultig portfolios:

Building systems analysis, conceptual studies, development of components, monitoring

Basic research work for a climate sensitive architecture

Committee work, standards and policy advice

Teaching in several programs of the Department

The center has a number of facilities with specialized application software and research hardware, which are used both in research and development as well as in teaching.
Software: ECOTECH, PHPP, ECOTECT, Archi physics, TRNSYS, CASANOVA, Therm, Antherm, METEONORM, TAS, WUFI
