Master thesis at Oeko-Insitut e.V.
The Oeko-Institut is one of Europe’s leading independent research and consultancy organizations working for a sustainable future. Based on value-oriented research, the Oeko-Institut provides consultancy services for decision-makers in politics, industry and civil society. You will support the Energy and Climate department in Freiburg, where our team does research regarding the transformation of the buildings sector towards more energy efficiency and climate neutrality.
About your task:
At Oeko we use a bottom-up stock model for projecting the energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions in the buildings sector. The model is used in several projects for the German Ministries to support policy-making. The aims of your thesis are to
1) develop an approach for regionalising the output data of the model
2) develop a concept for visualisation of these results in QGIS
3) derive recommendations for policy-makers to address regionally different frameworks, challenges and opportunities within the transition of the German buildings sector.
Supervisors: Sibylle Braungardt, Malte Bei der Wieden
About you:
We work in an interdisciplinary team and your motivation and ability to gain and use knowledge quickly and with love for details is more important to us than your scientific background. Nevertheless, experience in the processing of spatial data is required for the task (e.g. with QGIS).
