Case study for the development of modules that allow for the revitalisation of existing structures without interruption of utilization (two studies, one realisation).

Production of a comprehensive picture of tomorrow's building using research into future trends, the societal framework and political developments in the building sector.

The public energy research expenditures of Austria in 2018 amounted to 144,1 million euros, increasing the expenditures of 2017 by 4,7 million euros. The research areas of energy efficiency, smart grids, storage and renewables define the priorities of the publicly financed energy research in Austria. Schriftenreihe 19/2019

Major goals of this study were determination of the number of jobs provided in the thermal solar energy sector, the added economic value created in this sector and the predicted effects of achieving the goals, in order to better evaluate the economic significance of the use of thermal solar energy.

Pilot scheme for the restoration of the multi-storey residential buildings to a low energy building while people keep living in their flats with energy efficient, ecological and economical criteria.

Public expenditure on energy research amounted to €401 million in 2024, an increase of €90 million over the previous year. New RTI initiatives, IPCEI, research infrastructure and a good mix of open-ended and thematic formats contributed to this increase. The top topics were hydrogen and energy efficiency in industry.

Development of a building board consisting of a wood fibre board, coated with clay-plaster reinforced by natural plant-fibres (BioFaserLehm) for reinforcing planking of timber-constructions and also for statical not stressed inner wall surfaces.

Post occupancy evaluation with residents of four low energy building projects and four conventional residential buildings in the city of Salzburg. (A co-operative project with the Workers Chamber of Salzburg and provincial research into residential building).

Embedded in the EUREKA initiative PREPARE e3building serves as a network for the know-how exchange between building and construction industry, researchers and the funding programme on a national as well as an international level.

The project aim is the clarification and PR-reevaluation of the thematic field "energy/energy saving" as a chance to study users and market forces close and factual to have a secure base for the development of new concepts, slogans and incentives in Austria.

Based on experiences made with the projects "solarCity" and "Eco Building" resp. "Total Quality Assessment" the project will define qualitative and quantitative criteria for sustainable urban development considering Greater Linz as example.
