Working at HM Professorships HM OnBoard New Appointees Portraits

New & Appointed

Name: Martin Vielhauer

Professor of: Building Design

I’m from: Munich

Previously, I worked as: I am a freelance consultant specialising in technical equipment and the Managing Director of TEG SV. I founded this company myself. Before that, I was branch manager and head of the technical equipment division at OBERMEYER (one of the largest full-service planning contractors in Germany). I am also a DGA-Bau dispute resolver and work as a mediator.

My area of expertise in a word

... and my motivation for teaching there:

Building services engineering – I’ve been working in this field for over 20 years. Heating, cooling, ventilation, plumbing, energy efficiency, and the practical application of renewable energy have always fascinated me. Through my involvement in numerous large-scale TA projects, I’ve also had the opportunity to gain a wealth of experience, which I now wish to pass on. Above all, I want to show students how to manage projects effectively and cost-efficiently, and how to improve collaboration between the various specialist trades. That is why I also teach business administration on the HM master's degree programme in Building Services Engineering.

Why choose HM?

I studied building services engineering at HM myself many years ago and was a lecturer at the university for many years. Both my studies at HM and my dissertation in Chile provided me with many interesting experiences. I am therefore delighted, as someone who ‘grew up’ at HM, to be able to pass on this knowledge.

My highlight of the year

The year is still in its early stages, but we’ve just started looking at AI as part of our degree course, which I find really fascinating.
