Scientists at the Hermann Rietschel Institute have been researching the energy-efficient use of system technology in buildings and neighborhoods for 140 years. Our research profile aims to minimize the tension between the main topics:

• Contamination control,
• Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) and
• Energy-efficient systems engineering in buildings and districts.

Our expertise in the development of physical and AI-supported simulation models as well as the development and maintenance of numerous test laboratories enables us to offer a range of services from basic research to prototype development.

In our new research project "lnStra", we are investigating the innovative use of radiant heating systems. We are pursuing a new approach to room heating and optimizing not the heating system, but the associated room. The focus is therefore on the radiation properties of the unheated room surface.
We will show: By optimizing the design of the unheated room surface, the actual heating load can be reduced by up to 30% to create a thermally balanced condition.

We are looking for you to support our team!
Using simulative and experimental investigation methods, you will examine the energy potential of radiation-reflecting, unheated surfaces in a wide range of practical applications. As part of your research work

• you analyze the energy potential of the new heating concept simulatively and experimentally,
• develop design recommendations for interiors that increase the energy efficiency of radiant heating systems and
• publish your research results in specialist journals, at scientific conferences and in scientific Journals.

• Successfully completed scientific university degree (Diploma, Master's or equivalent) in the field of building technology, building physics, physics, civil engineering, mechanical engineering or similar
• Very good scientific knowledge in the field of heat transfer
• Previous knowledge of physical modeling, ideally in Modelica
• Previous experience in conducting experimental studies
• Experience in the publication of research results
• Good knowledge of German and/or English required; willingness to acquire the respective missing language skills

Desirable:

• High motivation and initiative
• Team and organizational skills
• Good knowledge in the field of data acquisition and analysis
• Very good PC skills (hardware and software)
• Experience in planning and conducting scientific studies
• Flexibility and interest in new challenges
