The focus of research and development at IAB is the practice-oriented testing of own results. The findings gained form the basis for transferability to similar projects and are reflected in further research tasks with regard to energy efficiency, cost effectiveness and sustainability.

Building Materials and Process Engineering

The Research Department Building Materials and Process Engineering at IAB researches and develops the scientific and technical basics of raw material extraction as well as the production and processing of building materials.

Construction Systems and Components

The building of tomorrow will shape future questions, for example the material and energy efficiency. User-oriented research should offering sustainable solutions and drive the development of modular building systems and components.

Civil Engineering and Pipeline Construction

Elements of the technical infrastructure of a country are, in addition to traffic and communication, the supply and disposal. The main focus is on water, gas, electricity and district heating as well as wastewater disposal.

Energy and Building Services

In addition to the expansion of renewable energies, efficient energy and building technologies plays a key role in the energy transition. An innovative building technology enables an energy-saving and environmentally friendly heating and cooling of buildings.
