• Abstract:

The findings on material development and testing gained in the InnoProfile initial project: »Methods and building materials for user-oriented building renovation - new construction« are taken into account and utilized within the framework of a research group in respect to the structured development and targeted application of innovative, functional materials for building renovation. The focus is on the consideration and systematization of user formulated requirements for rehabilitation methods, materials, and their application. In particular, the technology (technological aspects, guidelines, regulations, etc.), the economic efficiency (costs, savings potential, sustainability, energy, etc.) and the preservation of existing building structure are examined from historical, design, and monument preservation perspectives. From a materials science point of view, the focus is on building materials for concrete repair, on supplementary materials for wooden components as well as on special materials provided by the project partners.
