The Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics IBP deals with research, development, testing, demonstration and consulting in all fields of building physics. These include energy saving measures, problems of indoor climate, emissions of building materials, moisture and weathering protection and preservation of buildings and historical monuments. The Institute is responsible for the development of new building materials, components and systems. Efficient and in some cases unique test facilities permit the carrying out of in-depth investigations. The Institute is an officially licensed authority for the approval of new building materials and types of construction in Germany and all over Europe. Contractual partners are companies engaged in the fields of civil engineering or mechanical and plant engineering, contractors and architects, planning and licensing authorities, public and private building-research commissioners.
