How can thermal comfort be achieved without heating, cooling or conventional ventilation systems? Arvand Vaghari Fard, Carolin Uhlenbrock and Domenic Hampel demonstrate with the “Speicherschmid” project how principles of building physics and dynamic simulations make it possible to create a self-regulating building designed for a service life of up to 200 years.

Grid-scale storage systems with lithium batteries are indispensable for the energy transition – yet incidents in California and Thuringia highlight the dangers in the event of fire. Susanne Oesterheld explains how performance-based fire protection concepts are developed and why an integrated approach covering planning, operation, and emergency response is crucial.

How can acoustic quiet be achieved in open-plan offices without compromising the openness of the design concept? Eva Wassermann demonstrates through acoustic simulations how disruptive speech noise can be effectively reduced. The article is based on her expert study, presented at the 51st Annual Meeting on Acoustics (DAGA) on March 20, 2025, in Copenhagen.

What visualisation is to the eye, auralisation is to the ear: an acoustic simulation that makes rooms audible as early as the planning phase. The ‘Auralisation Explorer’ developed by Kai Heller as part of his master's thesis at TU Berlin makes it possible to interactively experience the acoustics of a room from different perspectives.

In 2019, Müller-BBM Building Solutions took on the planning and consulting of the room and building acoustics for the Peter Kaiser Hall in Nendeln (Liechtenstein), which was converted from a historic stable barn into a chamber music concert hall. Dr Andreas Meier outlines the acoustic challenges and solutions of the project.

Müller-BBM Building Solutions was commissioned in 2020 to plan the audiovisual systems for the new Volkstheater theatre in Rostock. In 2021, the client expanded the contract by also commissioning the company with the overall planning of the acoustics. acoustics. The project manager Michael Prüfer presents the planning.
