Completed projects

•   DALEC

•   FFF-Tal­iSys

  Free-form daylight systems for façades and skylights

•   VisEr­gyCon­trol

  In VisErgyControl, an integral simulation-based daylight and artificial lighting control system is being developed. In particular, this addresses the visual and melanopic needs of users (biological effectiveness of daylight and artificial light) and is also intended to minimise the building's heating and cooling requirements.

  The use of complex daylight-guiding façade systems offers a high savings potential compared to the state of the art. Preliminary studies show a savings potential of almost 50% in total energy requirements (heating, cooling, lighting). However, the simulation of such systems is currently still only possible to a limited extent.
