ReCon: Development of a resilient hook-and-loop-fastening-system for the adaptable assembly of building components in the building industry
Systemic examination of the hook-and-loop fastener and building component interfaces for the development of a resilient fastening system between parts/components with different functions and lifespan. The result serves to verify the fastening system and forms a basis for further research and establishment in the building industry.

Development of a transformation roadmap for the decarbonization of a neighborhood and implementation of a subarea. Securing acceptance of the project and raising awareness through an active participation process of the population and the establishment of an energy community for heat supply.
# Murau : Real-World Laboratory of energy transition for inner-alpine regions
Inner-alpine regions are rich in the natural resources water, sun, wind and biomass. This study investigated how the Murau region can become a stable and fail-safe, renewable 100% region and how it is possible to supply the energy-hungry conurbations as a needs-based energy export region.
TWIN - Digital twins for sustainable buildings
Digital building twins have hardly been used in practice due to an often unfavourable cost-benefit ratio. The aim of the TWIN project is to bring together use cases of digital building twins with a high ecological and economic impact in order to prepare application scenarios with great implementation potential.
OctoAI: The next generation of high-performance edge AI for smart buildings
Current IoT (Internet of Things) solutions for buildings depend almost exclusively on cloud infrastructure and cloud-based services. In the OctoAI project, we are developing the next generation of high-performance Edge AI (Artificial Intelligence) for smart buildings. In OctoAI, we combine the concept of edge AI with user-centric energy services and test two edge-ready applications.
Beyond - Virtual Reality enabled energy services for smart energy systems
The Beyond project addressed two different energy services through the interaction of various technologies: state-of-the-art virtual reality (VR), the Internet of Things (IoT), energy simulation and machine learning (ML). Energy service 1 immerses VR users in energy-efficient and sustainable building design through an educational VR game, while energy service 2 improves the maintenance of building systems, particularly heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, through the application of ML models for predictive maintenance.
VITALITY District - Optimized energy concepts in the early planning phase of resilient, energy-efficient neighbourhoods
The aim of the VITALITY District project is to coordinate the total (electrical and thermal) load and generation profile in the design phase of urban areas and neighbourhoods in order to optimize the energy concept of energy-efficient districts. Hence smart city indicators in detailed level (buildings, individual technologies, public spaces) as well as models, principles and catalogs of criteria for energy-optimized urban neighbourhoods were created. The results were presented in compact form on the district level in order to serve as input for future urban planning projects.
Vilipa - Visible light based Person and Group Detection in existing buildings
Zur Reduktion des Energieverbrauchs von Gebäuden können Belegungserkennungssysteme einen großen Beitrag leisten. Dieses Projekt zeigt die Machbarkeit des Erkennens von Personen anhand der Reflexion von sichtbarem Licht, hervorgerufen durch die Person selbst, demonstriert, wobei die bestehende Beleuchtungsinfrastruktur zur Personenerkennung ohne Datenschutzbedenken eingesetzt werden kann. Der realisierte Ansatz ist sowohl kostengünstig als auch unaufwändig hinsichtlich der Installationskosten.
KityVR - Artificial intelligence techniques to implement CityGML models and VR visualization
The KityVR project deals with key research aspects at the interface between 3D city models and virtual reality. It addresses questions such as how virtual reality can be used for visualization in the field of 3D city models and how machine learning and statistical methods can be used to enrich or complete energy-related data sets.
Reallabor 100% renewable energy Waldviertel
Under the motto "Always one step ahead", the aim is to develop a content-related and economic implementation concept for a "Reallabor 100% erneuerbare Energie Waldviertel".
IEA Wind Task 54: Wind Energy in Cold Climates (Working period 2022 - 2024)
In order to achieve the expansion targets for renewable energies, generation plants will increasingly have to be erected under more demanding technical and environmental conditions in the future. For wind energy, this means planning and operating turbines under icing conditions in many countries. The task investigates and evaluates technological solutions in this environment and publishes procedural recommendations in the form of technical reports and guidelines.
IEA AFC Annex 31: Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells (Working period 2020 - 2024)
Fuel cells offer considerable potential for transforming energy supply and mobility. In addition, hydrogen can be used as a storage medium for renewable energies, which increases grid stability and security of supply. Annex 31 covers the technological development of the key components of fuel cells, system development as well as market introduction support through the analysis and development of the political framework conditions and the reduction of market entry barriers.
IEA Bioenergy Task 39: Biofuels to Decarbonize Transport (Working period 2022 - 2024)
The long-term goal of Task 39 is to drive decarbonisation in the transport sector using biogenic, sustainable, low-carbon fuels. This includes conventional and advanced biofuels that can be produced via different technological routes (oleochemical, biochemical, thermochemical and hybrid). In the 2022-2024 triennium, the focus was increasingly on long-haul transport, which is more difficult to electrify.
IEA Bioenergy Task 44: Flexible Bioenergy and System Integration (Working Period 2022 - 2024)
IEA Bioenergy Task 44 contributes to the development and analysis of flexible bioenergy solutions as a contribution to a low-carbon energy system. The aim is to improve the understanding of the possibilities and their potential as well as the status of flexible bioenergy and to identify obstacles and future development needs in the context of the entire energy system (electricity, heat and transport).
IEA Experts Group "R&D Priority Setting and Evaluation" (EGRD). Working period 2024 - 2026
The IEA Experts Group (EGRD) was established by the Committee on Energy Research and Technology (CERT). It examines analytical approaches to energy technologies, policies, and research and development and evaluates the benefits of RTI policies. Its results and recommendations feed into IEA analysis, and enable a broad perspective of energy technology issues.
IEA Technology Collaboration Programmes (TCPs)
Austrian experts and companies are currently active in 23 out of 39 IEA Technology Collaboration Programmes (TCPs) and one expert group.
