Research at FIW München

Since its foundation in 1918, FIW München has been dedicated to researching heat and moisture transport in buildings and technical systems in accordance with its statutes. We understand “research” at FIW München as a very broad field of activity, ranging from the fundamentals of heat and moisture transport to new measurement and characterization methods, application-oriented issues and support for the market launch of new and environmentally compatible products, components and building systems. We conduct research here with and for various clients and partners from industry, the construction industry and other sectors, and of course also for public research institutions in Germany and Europe.
