Untersuchung des Einflusses von Fassadenbegrünung auf das thermische und hygrische Verhalten von Wandkonstruktionen
Influence of façade greening on the thermal and hygric behaviour of wall constructions
Bachelor thesis, Master thesis
Vacuum insulating glasses (VIGs) are an innovative window technology with the potential to revolutionize energy-efficient buildings. Windows and transparent facade elements are the main sources of heat loss and CO2 emissions in buildings.VIGs consist of glass panes with a vacuum gap that minimizes thermal effects and improves the energy balance of building envelopes. Small spacers in the va- cuumed inter-pane space ensure stability over decades and significantly influence the behavior of VIGs. Investigation of this influence and the development of standards for the use of VIGs are crucial for the introduction of energy-optimized window and facade systems in Germany and Europe. VIGs could thus make a significant contribution to sustainability in construction.
Comment
In the field of vacuum insulation glass, theses can be written on the following main topics:
- The mechanical behavior of VIGs for use in facade structures (e.g., under wind or impact loading) (Isabell Ayvaz, ayvaz@ismd.tu-darmstadt.de).
- The thermomechanical behavior of VIGs (Franz Paschke, paschke@ismd.tu-darmstadt.de)
- The thermal behavior of VIG hybrid constructions (integration of a VIG into a double IGU) (Franz Paschke, paschke@ismd.tu-darmstadt.de)
