Markus Binder

Prof. Markus Binder is a Professor at the Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences, Faculty of Architecture and Design, specializing in integrated building technology. He serves as Dean of the Bachelor's program in Architecture and Dean of Studies in Faculty A since 2013. He is also a Managing Partner at CAPE climate architecture physics energy since 2012 and has held various academic roles since 2004, including Acting Professor and Lecturer. His expertise spans energy-efficient construction, building physics, and sustainable design, with a focus on renewable energy integration and innovative materials like vacuum insulation panels (VIPs).

Education: Studied architecture at the University of Stuttgart (Dipl.-Ing.) and building physics at HFT Stuttgart (Dipl.-Ing. FH). Professional experience includes roles at planning offices and academic research projects.

Research interests include mono-material construction, passive solar energy systems, and energy optimization in historic buildings. Key contributions include the ENO.SAFE project (2019) for window renovation tools and studies on VIPs' thermal performance. His work bridges architectural innovation with practical energy solutions.

Scientific contributions span books, journal articles, and conference reports, emphasizing energy-efficient building practices and sustainable technologies. Projects often involve interdisciplinary collaborations, such as the Solar Decathlon Europe 2010 and membrane structure applications for existing buildings.

Labs/Teams: Active in CAPE and university-based research groups, focusing on climate engineering and architectural physics.
