Bernhard Reinholz

Bernhard Reinholz is a researcher at the Institute of Green Civil Engineering, part of the Department of Landscape, Water and Infrastructure at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). His work focuses on sustainable construction methods, particularly in the area of additive manufacturing using biobased and renewable materials for building applications.

His primary research interests include:

• Additive manufacturing for construction
• Circular economy approaches in building
• Biobased and renewable materials for construction
• Wood-based construction systems
• Sustainable building technologies
• Green civil engineering solutions

Reinholz is actively involved in the research project 'Additive manufacturing of fully-recyclable wall systems made from renewable materials' (2022-2026), which aims to develop innovative construction methods using 3D printing technology with sustainable materials. This project is funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) and led by Benjamin Kromoser, with Reinholz as key project staff member.

His publication record demonstrates a strong focus on the 3DP BioWalls concept, which integrates additive manufacturing techniques with renewable resources to create fully recyclable building components. This work represents a significant contribution to sustainable construction, addressing environmental concerns while maintaining structural integrity. His research spans multiple publication venues including conference proceedings from the World Conference on Timber Engineering and the IASS Annual Symposium.

Reinholz collaborates extensively with colleagues at BOKU, particularly with Benjamin Kromoser, Sara Reichenbach, Roman Myna, and Rupert Wimmer on various aspects of sustainable construction research. His work is part of BOKU's broader institutional focus on sustainable resource management and innovative engineering solutions for environmental challenges.
