In the area of research, we focus on solving practical issues in the construction and real estate industry. We define the built environment as the result of complex interactions between people as occupants with needs and requirements on the one hand and a specific location with its conditions on the other.

The aim is to derive clear statements and recommendations for action from a complex initial situation by applying the principle of sustainability. In order to make our specialist contribution to positive social development effective, we are committed to dealing proactively with the research results.
