Quality Management
The Fraunhofer FEP is internationally renowned in the area of thin film technology. After the integration of the Fraunhofer COMEDD, the institute extends its competences in the field of organic electronics and can look back on numerous successful projects in collaboration with industrial companies and public organizations.
We introduced a quality management system at the Fraunhofer FEP in order to safeguard our competitiveness and ensure the constant optimization of internal structures, processes, and activities.
Energy Management
The Fraunhofer FEP is aware of its social responsibility as a research institute.
Awareness of the need to conserve resources in research and development and in the interests of our customers is an important aspect of our projects.
In 2016, the energy management system according to DIN ISO 50001 was introduced and certified as an integrated management system together with the existing quality management system according to DIN ISO 9001. A recertification according to the revision DIN ISO 50001:2018 was implemented in November 2019.
These include for example:

In 2020, a heat pump was installed in Building A. The final evaluation of the 2021 measure demonstrated savings in both district heating energy and cooling energy. |
Savings for heating period 2021/22: Heat: 142,900 kWh/yr Cold: 131,700 kWh/yr avoided CO2 emission = 6.34 t/yr |
In 2021, a weather forecast station was integrated into the building control system to reduce the thermal energy consumption of buildings A, B and C. |
Savings for 2021/22: Heat: 2,240 kWh/yr avoided CO2emission = 0.1 t/yr |
Installation of a PV system on building N (Nanotechnikum) Nominal PV power 42.9 kWp / connected load 40 kW |
renewable self-generation Power 40,253 kWh/a avoided CO2 emission = 14.7 t/yr |
For comparison: an average German single-person household consumes 3000 kWh annually. [1]
