Exploration of the Berlin Underworlds
2019/09/18
News from the institute
The 31st edition of the Forum Bauinformatik, an annual conference especially for young scientists in the field of informatics in civil engineering, took place in Berlin this year. Since 1993, the Institute has participated in the Forum Bauinformatik on an ongoing basis in order to present research work, discuss problems on a subject-specific basis and inform itself about the latest state of research. As always, various contributions on diverse research topics were published and presented.

RessStadtQuartier – Instrumente für die ressourceneffiziente Entwicklung von Quartieren
2019/03/27
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.

TU Darmstadt's E-Learning group as guest at the IIB
2019/03/15
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.
