The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE in Freiburg is the largest solar research institute in Europe. Our around 1,400 employees work for a sustainable, economical, safe and socially fair energy supply system based on renewable energies. We contribute to this with our research priorities of energy supply, energy distribution, energy storage and energy use. Through outstanding research results, successful industrial projects, spin-off companies and global cooperation, we shape the sustainable transformation of the energy system.
For our team "Systemintegration und Energiekonzepte" we are looking for a student assistant.
One of our projects, funded by the European Commission, deals with modular renovation solutions for the building envelopes of the European building stock. The goal of our work package in the AEGIR project (aegirproject.eu) is to largely automate the planning of integrated ventilation ducts for a modular system for ventilated façades (VHF). To do this, we use 3D models of components and buildings, as is common in building design, and manually place the air ducts in Autodesk Revit. In the future, the planning process for the facade-integrated ductwork from the ventilation unit to the rooms to be ventilated and back should be similarly supported, as is already done today for the placement of electrical circuit boards. For this purpose, the technical rules to be considered for air ducts, fire protection, statics, and thermal insulation must be reformulated into mathematical conditions, which will then be translated into a program code. We have already started planning manually integrated ventilation ducts in completed student projects and laying them out as a 3D model using Autodesk Revit. Three more buildings of different topologies still need to be completed. This work is important to derive the rules to be programmed based on the experiences from manual planning.
