RepaMobil - Reduction of market barriers for product-service-systems, especially repair- and other household services by setting up central service points at big company sites where a lot of potential customers pass by

Feasibility study / implementation concept for central repair- and service points (mobile or stationary) for repair- and other household services located directly at big company sites; raising the demand for sustainable services by private households.

Use of thermal cooling technologies and optimal combination with other heat energy consumers to use during summer the available district heating based on renewable energy sources: example of the municipality of Mureck

Optimal use of heating energy from a biogas CHP in the municipality of Mureck through demand side measures; the multifunctional energy centre Mureck on the way towards thermal air-conditioning: Multi-Mukli

SmartQ+ Bruck/Leitha - Energy saving potentials through neighbourhood and community planning

First-time linking of transport and energy simulation models for municipal planning in order to visualise (energy) saving potentials in settlement development and effects of planning projects on mobility demand and the energy network of a municipality in an interactive visualisation.

openBAM - Open Building Automation Modelling - Open modeling of building automation over the entire building life cycle

Platform-independent modeling of control and regulation logic for detailed study of building automation systems involving construction and building technology. The result enables the analysis of energy saving potentials through building automation before construction.

IEA 4E PECTA Experts Workshop 2026

23. February 2026
Federal Ministry Innovation, Mobility and Infrastructure (BMIMI), Radetzkystraße 2, 1030 Vienna (Room RAD 6F13), Vienna, AT

This workshop brings together leading experts from research, industry, and policy to discuss the latest advances in power electronics. The program highlights progress in application readiness, reliability, and circular economy approaches, alongside key regulatory updates. It provides a platform to exchange knowledge, strengthen cooperation, and influences and shapes PECTA's future activities.

IEA EBC Annex 81: Data-Driven Smart Buildings

Digitalization has the potential to significantly reduce the costs of building operation. The Annex should improve access to low-cost, high-quality data from buildings and support the development of data-driven energy efficiency applications and analyses. This enables the optimization of building controls in real time and provides energy efficiency data and decision support for building managers.

IEA IETS Task 21: Decarbonizing industrial systems in a circular economy framework (working period 2022 - 2024)

Energy and CO2 savings through circular economy, especially directly through carbon circularity (CCU), and resource and energy efficiency through industrial symbiosis are two key approaches to decarbonizing industry.

IEA AFC: Technology Collaboration Programme on Advanced Fuel Cells

In the AFC TCP, both technology-oriented R&D activities (polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells, solid oxide fuel cells, electrolysers) as well as analysis to implement fuel cells in commercial applications (stationary and mobile applications) are carried-out. System investigations and modelling complement the activities of this TCP.

IEA SHC Task 69: Solar Hot Water for 2030

Solar water heating will play a crucial role in the decarbonization of the energy system for 2030 and beyond. IEA SHC Task 69 focuses on two technologies which are likely to play the biggest role in the global solar hot water market: thermosyphon and photovoltaic (PV) hot water systems. For these technologies global market surveys, systems and component optimizations, cost reduction analyses and revision of standards are being conducted to accelerate growth in target markets.
