Building services engineering

Buildings in Switzerland are responsible for more than 40% of the primary energy consumption and the CO2-emissions. Therefore, buildings offer large potentials for primary energy savings and CO2 emission reduction.
The focus of the building system technology group is:
- Innovative building technology with heat pumps
- Building technology for efficient buildings and Net Zero Energy Buildings
- Building controls
- Passive cooling methods (Free-Cooling)
- Energy and water use in Buildings
We support industry partners with the following competences:
- Coupled dynamic building and system simulation
- Simulation based component development and system integration
- Model based development of control strategies
- Scientific accompaniment of field monitorings
