About

The Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) is Hungary’s leading technical university with strong expertise in engineering, architecture, and sustainability-related research. Founded in 1782, BME plays a key role in advancing climate-responsive design, energy-efficient buildings, life cycle assessment, and circular construction.

BME actively participates in EU-funded programmes, including Horizon Europe and Erasmus+, and maintains strong international and industry partnerships.

Through integrated research and education, BME contributes to the European Green Deal and New European Bauhaus objectives by promoting climate-neutral, innovative, and socially inclusive construction practices.

Core research competences

  • Climate-Responsive and Low-Carbon Architecture and Design
    Integration of environmental simulation, performance-based design, and adaptive strategies to optimise energy use, comfort, and environmental impact.

  • Energy Efficiency and Building Physics
    Advanced modelling of energy systems, thermal behaviour, ventilation performance, and indoor environmental quality to support zero-emission building concepts.

  • Life Cycle Assessment and Circular Construction
    Application of whole-life carbon assessment and life cycle methodologies to inform material selection, design optimisation, and circular construction strategies.

  • Digital Design, Modelling, and Optimisation
    Use of BIM, parametric design, environmental simulation, and algorithmic optimisation to enhance building and infrastructure performance.

  • Urban Sustainability and Environmental Studies
    Research on climate resilience, sustainable urban development, and the socio-economic dimensions of the built environment.

These research activities are supported by nationally accredited laboratories, specialised research centres, and interdisciplinary departments, enabling high-quality experimental work and cross-sectoral collaboration. BME’s central research portal provides structured access to research groups, projects, and knowledge transfer initiatives.
