Our department focuses on three main research areas: Energy Engineering, Indoor Environmental Quality, and Contamination Control.

Our research projects are typically application-oriented and practice-focused. For example, we investigate possibilities for CO2-neutral heating/cooling systems for buildings and entire neighborhoods. This includes the entire process chain, from generation, distribution, and storage to regulation and utilization in spaces. Additionally, one team of researchers in our department studies thermal comfort and air quality experimentally and numerically. Another team focuses on the spread of airborne contaminants in various room use scenarios and develops ventilation-based protection concepts that can be adapted to different spaces and purposes.

The IT Specialist will be responsible for designing and operating complex IT infrastructures, including computing clusters, databases, and web interfaces, to support research activities. This role includes ensuring IT security and data protection, advising researchers on programming tasks, and optimizing applications for big data analysis and simulations. The position also involves supporting the submission of research proposals and integrating new technologies while acting independently and making strategic decisions. Strong technical and scientific knowledge is required, particularly in high-performance computing, networks, and building technology.
