Green hydrogen technology as a key role! The Innovation Hub "Hydrogen Technology" is the central contact point at CAE for industry, research partners and the public on this focus.
For questions on efficient and safe use, an intensive characterization of thermal properties as well as the exact analysis of processes in solid state as well as surface physics, the CAE is available to start-ups, small and medium-sized enterprises and large companies.
The acquisition, integration and processing of energy data are implemented at CAE through the development and implementation of innovative software and hardware solutions in all research and development focus areas.
Processing Climate change and the energy transition require a transformation to more sustainable ways of living - especially in the area of building and district development.
Core competencies of the working group are analysis and development of materials and components for energy-efficient buildings, the development of systems, tests directly on the building, and monitoring with operational optimization. A new focus is the research of exterior and interior greening systems.
The development of new combinations of physical properties through nanostructuring as well as the development of new or adapted measurement methods for the reliable characterization of functional materials are the core competences of the working group.
Metrological characterizations and realistic simulations of thermophysical properties are key competencies of the Advanced Thermal Management working group. This enables the optimization of thermal processes as well as the development of functional materials.

The research group is working on innovative physical measurement systems and physics-based software models that allow feedback of the measured values to industrial processes and thus their efficient control.
The research group develops sustainable transformation concepts for the energy transition and investigates political measures and social acceptance factors. The aim is to integrate climate-neutral and energy-efficient solutions and technologies across the board.

Makerspace

The Energy Efficiency Center is a research and demonstration building in one. New materials for energy saving are researched, tested and demonstrated in practice, and how the energy consumption of buildings can be reduced.
A permanent exhibition in the Energy Efficiency Center (EEC) takes a playful approach to the topics of energy, climate, ecology and resource conservation, focusing on sustainable construction, the circular economy, sustainable consumption and urban development.
