Energieeffizientes und nachhaltiges
Planen und Bauen
Energy Efficient and Sustainable Design
and Building
The Chair of Energy Efficient and Sustainable Design and Building is a joint
appointment between the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Surveying and the Faculty
of Architecture. The aim of the joint appointment is to promote interdisciplinary
research in the field of energy-efficient and sustainable building at both faculties,
as well as to integrate energy efficient design and building into courses as
mandatory and elementary modules.
The field of research comprises important fundamental subjects of sustainable
urban planning and building design and the related energy and material flows as
fundamental aspects of our built environment. With a particular focus on buildings,
architectural questions of type, topos, tectonics and texture as well as aspects
related to the function, construction and aesthetics of buildings are supplemented
by considering local conditions such as climate, topography, geology, infrastructure
and the use of renewable energy sources and materials. The ultimate goal is
to significantly reduce the use of fossil fuels in the construction and operation of
buildings in an affordable and socially responsible manner. As the speaker for the
area ‘Energy Efficient and Sustainable Design and Building’ (ENPB) at the
Munich School of Engineering (MSE), the Chair is well aware of the research
activities of other focal areas of the MSE/TUM.Energy, such as the Centre for
Power Generation, the Network for Renewable Energy and the Science Centre for
Electro-Mobility.
In teaching, the focus is placed on energy-efficient and sustainable design and
building. In addition to complementing already existing degree courses in civil
engineering and surveying as well as architecture, a basic lecture on sustainable
design and building is offered to civil engineering students as part of the Bachelor
Programme. Furthermore, the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Surveying in cooperation
with the Faculty of Architecture offer a new interdisciplinary inter-faculty
Masters Programme in energy-efficient and sustainable building (M.Sc.). The
Chair of Energy Efficient and Sustainable Design and Building acts as the coordinator
of this Programme. In addition, the Institute coordinates the Centre for
Energy Efficient and Sustainable Design and Building. The Centre strives to conduct
research at interdisciplinary level with all relevant faculties of TUM which
becomes evident from the Chair’s teaching concept.
