The German government's Climate Action Plan 2050 describes the path to a climate-neutral building stock in Germany by 2050. With a number of around two million, historic half-timbered buildings make up a considerable proportion of the existing building stock and at the same time - due to their materiality and the desired appearance in terms of monument preservation - place high demands on measures for efficient energy upgrading.
The 'Fachwerk 2.0' research project is investigating how the energy efficiency of half-timbered buildings can be increased in terms of durability and sustainability while preserving their authenticity.
At the beginning of the 1990s, investigations were carried out into the physical behavior of half-timbered buildings as part of a research project. The subject of these investigations included three test buildings in the Hessenpark Open-Air Museum. As part of the 'Fachwerk 2.0' project, these test buildings, which have been preserved unchanged, offer a unique opportunity to analyze and evaluate wall systems and superstructures after many years of use.
In addition to this assessment of the existing structure, the focus of the 'Fachwerk 2.0' research project is on the development and evaluation of innovative new infills with a particular focus on the sustainable training of the joints between the timber and the infill.
The aim of the 'Fachwerk 2.0' project is to use the knowledge gained to develop sustainable refurbishment solutions that enable the preservation of the culturally and historically valuable building stock under today's standards of use and meet the goals of climate efficiency for existing timber-framed buildings in relation to buildings and neighborhoods.
