Professor Auer researches in the field of climate responsive building design. The aim of this work is to optimize energy performance and environmental quality while taking into consideration local specifics such as the macro- and micro climate and the influence of building form and material. The research focuses primarily on energy efficiency and how it influences the built environment, in particular with reference to building scale and district/urban scale. 
Professor Auer studied process engineering at the University of Stuttgart. Since then he has dealt extensively with issues relating to the energy efficiency and user comfort of buildings within the framework of his role at Transsolar Energietechnik GmbH.
