iHomeLab Aussenaufnahme

iHomeLab Visitor Center and Partner Network

Together with our partners from business and industry, research is conducted in various areas at the iHomeLab. The results of the research projects are presented in the iHomeLab Visitor Center and are brought closer to the public in an understandable way.

Research and services

Ambient Assisted Living Forschung

Active Assisted Living Research

The iHomeLab team is developing and testing solutions for the living and life in old age. For example, a smartphone app that helps people with mild dementia and with orientation problems. The app makes it possible for a relative to intervene supportive.

Smart Energy Management Forschung

Energy-Efficiency Research

The iHomeLab team develops systems to reduce energy consumption in buildings. For example, to show the people with a graphical illustration of the energy consumption of an apartment where the energy guzzlers are. Thereby, the power consumption can be reduced.

Safe Building Intelligence Forschung

Safe Building Intelligence

The iHomeLab team is researching how networked everyday objects improve the quality of life in health, transport, environmental protection and social interaction. Safe Building Intelligence provides the answers. We are researching the concrete effects of digitalization and how the interaction between people and systems can be designed. This shall be done in a way that conveys trust and security.

Sensortechnik

Sensor & Health Technologies

The sensor technology team researches photonic, optical and other sensor technologies and combines them with artificial intelligence to create sensor systems for the recognition and measurement of physical, chemical and biomedical features. This technology leads to greater accuracy in object recognition and material detection and allows novel applications in factory automation, personalised health, smart health solutions and digital health.

Testlabor BACnet

Test Laboratories

The iHomeLab checks building automation products for their conformity and tests whether they meet a given standard.
