Tobias Wolf

Tobias Wolf serves as a Research Fellow in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Bochum University of Applied Sciences, where he conducts research in building energy technology. He actively contributes to academic governance as a member of the Examination Board for Environmental Engineering and Renewable Energy Systems (RES) and the founding board of the Energy Transition Institute (EnWI).

His educational trajectory includes:

• Master's in Environmental Engineering at Bochum University of Applied Sciences (March 2023–present)
• Bachelor of Environmental Engineering at Bochum University of Applied Sciences (October 2019–February 2023)
• Bank clerk training at Sparkasse Hattingen (September 2016–January 2019)

Wolf's research centers on optimizing building energy systems through geothermal and solar thermal integration, thermal energy storage, and comfort-driven controls. His work addresses critical challenges in heat pump system design across diverse building types and standards, with strong emphasis on energy efficiency and renewable energy adoption in the built environment.

His 2023–2024 publications demonstrate cohesive focus on geothermal/solar thermal hybrid systems, revealing how thermal storage and building automation strategies influence system dimensioning and performance. These studies collectively advance sustainable heating solutions while addressing real-world constraints of building physics and occupant comfort requirements.

Wolf operates within the Building Energy Technology research group and the Energy Transition Institute (EnWI), where he bridges academic research with practical energy transition initiatives through interdisciplinary collaboration.
