Application phase goes into the next round Cutting-edge topics from the energy and building sector The application phase for the two international Master's degree courses at Ansbach University of Applied Sciences' Feuchtwangen Energy Campus opens again in May. The Smart Energy Systems (SES) and Sustainable Building Systems (SBS) courses address highly topical issues in the energy and building sectors. SBS course and campus director Prof. Dr.-Ing. Haresh Vaidya summarizes: "The building sector urgently needs to become climate-neutral. You can't achieve this with standard solutions. We need out-of-the-box thinking. Successful building refurbishment requires knowledge in many different areas. And [...]

Home-Energy-Management Systems (HEMS) Thomas Haupt presents market overview at the PV Symposium The energy transition is turning buildings into central interfaces in our future energy supply system. Home energy management systems (HEMS) play a key role in linking different energy sources and consumers. For his doctorate, Thomas Haupt, M. Sc. at the Energy Campus Feuchtwangen at Ansbach University of Applied Sciences is working intensively on these intelligent systems for optimizing energy efficiency in buildings. HEMS control and manage the use of renewable energies, storage and consumption units in order to increase the use of self-generated electricity and reduce [...]

Campus Feuchtwangen as Official Partner Central platform combines specialist information, innovative topics and good examples relating to climate-neutral buildings and neighbourhoods The Feuchtwangen Energy Campus at Ansbach University of Applied Sciences recently became an official partner in the Building Forum Climate Neutral network, actively supporting the energy transition in the building sector beyond the region. Together with the growing network of partners from chambers and associations, regional energy agencies and science, impulses are provided and knowledge is multiplied. With the climate-neutral building forum, the German Energy Agency (dena) has initiated a [...]

Certified meters for a more sustainable future Accuracy & trust as the key to acceptance of advanced energy concepts The reliable and accurate recording of energy consumption plays a key role in the energy transition. So-called "Measuring Instruments Directive" (MID)-certified meters are essential for this. These comply with the European Measuring Instruments Directive and thus contribute to greater accuracy and trust - two essential values for the social acceptance of modern energy concepts. "With the increasing focus on decentralised energy generation and electromobility, the task is to efficiently coordinate the various energy consumption sectors," says Thomas Haupt, emphasising [...]
