Institute for Materials in Construction

Institutes for Materials in Construction research and develop innovative building materials and their applications – from energy-optimized high-performance concrete and sustainable binder technologies to fastening and reinforcement methods. Key topics include energy-efficient, climate-positive construction, the avoidance of CO2-intensive materials, and digitalization in construction processes, e.g., through robot-assisted construction. Challenges include material durability, dismantling and recyclability, and knowledge transfer into practice. Institutes with interdisciplinary approaches offer technologies for durable, resource-efficient, and future-proof buildings – where research meets construction practice.
