Project study on the energy self-sufficient supply of an orphanage building in Africa (Malawi)

Erfurt University of Applied Sciences Faculty of Building Technology and Computer Science
Subject area Building and Energy Technology
Type of work:
Master thesis
Field of study/degree program:
Building and Energy Technology
Topics:
The aim of this thesis is to develop a self-sufficient energy concept for the dormitory of an orphanage in Malawi. The aspect of “helping people to help themselves” will serve as a guiding principle. The concept is designed on the basis of a detailed preliminary analysis, which takes into account the geographical, cultural, climatic and humanitarian conditions on site as well as the financial and economic feasibility. Various solutions are to be developed, covering the areas of energy, rainwater utilization, sanitation, wastewater, food preparation and drinking water disinfection. Finally, the variants will be examined and designed in terms of their cost-benefit ratio and feasibility. A cost calculation must be carried out for each subject area in order to determine the financial framework. In a final elaboration, an energy concept is created in order to combine the selected variants into a coherent concept and thus generate a picture of the orphanage's energy future.
Development of Asset Administration Shell for a transparent PCF
Development and conceptual design of an asset administration shell for a transparent product carbon footprint along the value chain
Name:
Daniel Kurth
University/FH/BA:
RWTH Aachen
Type of work:
Bachelor thesis
Field of study/degree program:
Industrial engineering with focus on mechanical engineering
Topics:
The European Union has set itself the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050 in order to achieve climate neutrality. Product Carbon Footprints (PCF) play a central role in this, as they serve as a basis for assessing climate-neutral products. In order to implement the requirements of the EU Taxonomy Regulation (EU 2020/852), life cycle analyses (LCA) and PCF calculations are an integral part of the sustainability strategy of many companies. However, determining a PCF over the entire product life cycle is extremely complex and time-consuming. Different norms, standards and calculation methods are often used to determine the PCF, meaning that comparability is not possible. In addition, different companies in the value chain have to provide their data and information for a precise calculation. The asset administration shell (AAS) is increasingly being used for the product-related exchange of information. In the context of Industry 4.0, it forms the basis for the standardized exchange of information and the implementation of the Digital Twin.

Study on the heat supply of a multi-generational project

Type of work:
Bachelor thesis
Field of study/degree program:
Building and Energy Technology
Topics:
An integrative multi-generational project is to be built on the site of the former Hufeland Clinic in Weimar, offering housing for 200 people across generations. To this end, the citizens' initiative “RO70” was founded at the end of April 2015 in the form of a cooperative.
With the construction of this housing project, the cooperative aims to make a contribution to climate protection by using renewable energy. In addition to the EnEV 2016, the KfW 70 standard is also to be met.
A variant study on heat generation is to be carried out for this property. The type of fuel desired by the building owners is wood. Suitable wood-based supply variants are to be investigated. In order to establish a comparison with conventional heat generation, these supply variants are to be compared with the generally used gas condensing boiler technology.
