Basic research on fixing elements: drawing up universal design guidelines for high resilience mechanical jointing techniques for insulation products
![](/includes/images/pdf-placeholder.png)
The objective of this project is to explore mechanical insulant-fixing connections. Unconventional but concrete fixing techniques are the focus of the investigation. The use of insulants as "lost" casing will also be studied in depth.
Investigation into control systems for low emission, high efficiency biomass furnaces for heating residential and office buildings.
![](/includes/images/pdf-placeholder.png)
Through optimising the control systems of biomass heating systems, energy wastage and pollutant emissions can be reduced considerably. The goal of the project is first to analyse the possible savings that can be made in these areas, using the heat demand scenarios of different "Buildings of Tomorrow". The results of this analysis will lead to the development of an optimised control system which will be tested on a biomass heating system.

Product and system development for an inside thermal insulation construction of historical houses using magnesite bonded wood wool panels
![](/includes/images/pdf-placeholder.png)
The objective of this project is to examine the ability of magnesite bonded wood wool panels as an inside thermal insulation system, especially for houses with historical facades and to acquire starting points for further development of the products and components being used. Parallel to the data which will be calculated in a theoretical FEM-model, a field trial will be carried out to prove the influence on the inside room climate. In addition the sustainability of the system will be analysed.
