HeinrichBiCool - Climate-positive cooling and biodiversity through intensive greening of buildings
Using the example of an existing building of the University of Graz, currently affected by overheating, the project demonstrates what greening can achieve. Comprehensive monitoring of the indoor climate, building physics, energy requirements and biodiversity before and after the greening measures provides new scientific findings on the actual effectiveness of building greening.
PersonAI - User-Centered AI-based energy services built on personal preference models
Conduct a large-scale, long-term study with 40-50 people to create personal comfort profiles to increase comfort in buildings. The personal comfort profiles will then be fed back into the building control system as input variables in a proof-of-concept.
10., Rothneusiedl - climate model district Rothneusiedl: Preparation for the planned EU mission "New European Bauhaus"
Rothneusiedl will become a pioneering district for climate protection, climate adaptation and the circular economy. The existing RothNEUsiedl Charter outlines nine principles for making the district climate-friendly and inclusive. The dialogical and integrated process involves various target groups, including the planning and construction industry, future residents and businesses, in order to establish a local building culture at an early stage. NEB working principles are applied in order to support the parallel mission statement process.
QualitySysVillab - Protecting sustainable qualities in neighbourhood developments through process control and new digital methods
Development of a process concept to bring sustainable qualities in neighbourhood development from the intention and announcement level to the built reality. The process is supported by digital methods of energy and structural design and evaluated in the context of a case study.
BIM.sustAIn - Artificial Intelligence to enhance sustainability in BIM projects
The construction sector faces growing challenges in meeting sustainability requirements, particularly during early project phases where key decisions on materials, construction methods, and energy concepts are made. This project aims to leverage AI and BIM to optimize sustainability assessments by providing precise CO₂ balance forecasts and material suggestions. The innovative approach reduces manual effort and supports the implementation of climate-neutral construction, contributing significantly to Austria’s climate goals.
FlexHP - AI-supported control models for optimising the flexibility of heat pumps to reduce the load on the electricity grid
Development of a new type of energy management system for heat pumps that enables methods for intelligent heat pump operation and thus maximises flexibility. This requires forecast-based models for control that utilise technologies such as machine learning.
Strengths and weaknesses of the Austrian construction sector in relation to the New European Bauhaus Initiative
In cooperation with Initiative Bauhaus, an Austrian thinktank founded by the Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology (BMK) and different actors of the building industry like designers, architects, students, companies and the general public, the aim is to create a common strategy for the New European Bauhaus (NEB) initiative in Austria. This report shows best practice examples and further potential for new projects and guidelines in accordance with the goals of the NEB.
