The district heating of the future as a central component of a sustainable energy system requires new control concepts as well as communicative approaches. With our software tool »AD-Net District Heating«, we at the Fraunhofer ITWM dynamically simulate and optimize the operation of heating networks in real time.

Together with four partners, our researchers at the Fraunhofer ITWM are investigating the effects of fibre distribution in wood-based insulation materials in the project »Oho: Optimization of Wood-Fibre Based Insulation Materials« with the aim of improving thermal insulation. The aim is to achieve a thermal conductivity of less than 35 W/K. The project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).

ALMA Project’s novel lightweight, efficient and sustainable Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) structure for passenger cars promises major strides in the EU’s green road transport transition away from fossil fuels. The ALMA BEV body-in-white (BiW) is 22 percent lighter than the baseline design, resulting in a 24 percent reduction in carbon emissions for the BiW and a corresponding 9 percent reduction for the entire car over the vehicle’s entire service life.
