Currently, decentralized ventilation units are retrofitted into or onto exterior walls. For certain unit models, all the openings required for airflow (outside air, exhaust air, and supply air) cut through the exterior wall and its insulation. The effort involved increases even further if ductwork must be installed for acoustic reasons.

A new approach is to be developed that involves incorporating a universal installation environment for decentralized ventilation units as a building component into exterior walls. Within this environment, the components of decentralized ventilation units can then be installed and maintained regardless of the construction progress. This flexibility also increases the scope for optimizing technical properties (performance and acoustics). This new development involves model investigations, design studies, and performance measurements depending on component arrangements.

This development can be carried out as part of a student thesis.

The task requires a basic understanding of mechanics, engineering, fluid mechanics, and acoustics.

Since our internships and the supervision of student projects are primarily intended to provide practical experience and career guidance, we ask for your understanding that no compensation is provided. However, we would be happy to issue you a formal internship certificate and nominate your student project for the annual academic award presented by the Association for the Promotion of Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Technology (Verein zur Förderung der Luft- und Kältetechnik e.V.).
