Neues Forschungsprojekt unter Beteiligung des IIB und zwei weiteren Fachgebieten des FB 13 gestartet

Der Gebäudebestand stellt das größte „Rohstofflager“ der Gesellschaft dar und hat gleichzeitig einen wesentlichen Anteil an der Nachfrage nach Energie. Beide Aspekte sind wichtige Handlungsfelder für die Erhöhung der Ressourceneffizienz im Gebäudesektor. Gleichzeitig unterliegen städtische Quartiere in Ballungsräumen heute einem vielfältigen Veränderungsdruck, mit dem eine steigende Dynamik von Planungsprozessen einhergeht.

Demonstrations on the topics VR, AR and Digital Teaching

On Thursday, February 28th, 2019, the E-Learning group of TU Darmstadt visited the institute. In keeping with the topic “Virtual Reality – Potentials and Insights at the Darmstadt CES-Lab”, the participants were able to take a closer look at new technologies and approaches for teaching and research and also try them out for themselves. We would like to thank everyone involved for their keen interest and would like to take this opportunity to refer to the university-wide “Digital Teaching” workshop in June.
