Building system technology

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
