2011 - Professor Gerhard Hausladen
Doctor et professor honoris causa of the Pollack Mihály Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology since 21 October 2011.
Gerhard Hausladen studied mechanical engineering at the Technical University of Munich and kept on working as a research associate with the institute until he finished his Doctorate in 1980. After working for private companies he decided to establish his own engineering office, IB Hausladen, in 1986. At the University of Kassel he worked as a professor for many years, teaching HVAC with a focus on energy efficiency.
In 2001 he became head of the institute for building climate and HVAC technology at the TU Munich. Since then he is known for his expertise in the field of Green Building Design and consults many national and international organizations. The establishment and education of the Climadesigner© specialization and the accreditation of a unique Master program also belong to his revolutionary innovations. The latter is a new, interdisciplinary planning specialization, which offers comprehensive solutions on the field of the sustainable built environment.
The professor was the chief of several international and German research projects, currently leading the main project of the Energydesign Department of the Pollack Mihály Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology: the Energy Design and Complex Building Climatology.
