  abstract     = {{This study explores the transition from a linear to a circular economy in the building and construction industry, focusing on the environmental impacts of façade systems in office buildings. The linear „Take-Make-Dispose“ model contributes significantly to resource consumption, waste generation, and CO2 emissions, with the construction sector responsible for 35% of global waste. The EU‘s Circular Economy Action Plan emphasizes designing products to minimize waste and retain resources, highlighting the importance of end-of-life (EoL) considerations in construction. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is employed to evaluate the environmental impacts of design decisions, particularly for stick curtain wall systems, which are widely used in office buildings. The research adopts a mixed methodology, combining literature review and design process analysis, focusing on frame materials (aluminum, steel, wood) and glass options. Three EoL scenarios—reuse, recycling, and demolition—are assessed to determine their impact on embodied carbon. The study is limited to office buildings in Germany, with a case study in Stuttgart, due to the prevalence of stick systems in such structures. Preliminary findings indicate that reuse scenarios generally have the lowest environmental impact, though outcomes vary based on material combinations. By systematically analyzing EoL scenarios, this research provides a framework for optimizing façade designs to enhance sustainability, reduce waste, and promote circularity in real-world construction projects.}},

  abstract     = {{As DC grids become more widespread in industry, the demand for DC industry-compliant power supplies is increasing. This paper describes the design and analysis of a SiC-based Active-Front-End with a switching frequency of 100 kHz and an output power of 50 kW. The focus of this Active-Front-End is on the small input inductance (uk=0,6%), which has been deliberately reduced in order to reduce package size. For a small inductance a high switching frequency and a fast and precise current measurement are basic requirements. The increase of the switching frequency reduces the size of the whole filter.}},

Besides age, most user characteristics, which played important roles in technology acceptance research for many years, do not appear to be decisive factors for the acceptance of electronic home-monitoring services.}},
