Objectives: The research Institute for the Intelligent Building deals with current and future research questions on the topics of life and work in the intelligent building. The focus is on aspects of well-being, sensor technology, energy efficiency, data security and fire protection.

The institute is founded by three research areas. These focus on the work and well-being in the intelligent building, the sensor data fusion in the intelligent building as well as the dynamic escape routing. These three projects are funded by the Ministerium für Innovation, Wissenschaft und Forschung des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen.
