50 green houses - Development and demonstration of a low-tech façade greening system

Development of a cost-efficient all-in façade greening system („Greening-Toolkit“) including a maintenance concept, involving all trades and processes, for a broad (facing roads) implementation on facades in the urban built environment, combined with a process innovation for simplification of all necessary coordination processes.

TheSIS - Thermal renovation with internal insulation systems - investigation and development of moisture-proof solutions

Development of innovative solutions for the retrofit of the building envelope with internal insulation with a focus on the hygrothermal optimization of a moisture-adaptive vapor retarder in form of a paint coating. As a result, the moisture hazard related to the implementation of internal insulation systems is reduced and the energetic, comfort-related and economic advantages are made available.

Climate neutrality roadmap Klosterneuburg

Klosterneuburg is located between the Vienna Woods and the Danube flood­plains, a city with a high proportion of green and recreational space while being close to Vienna. This location makes Klosterneuburg an interesting case study for resear­ching climate neutrality – particularly in the areas of CO₂-emissions-free commuter transport, climate-friendly services, and CO₂ sequestration through forestry.

SAGE - scalable multi-agent architectures for facility management and energy efficiency

The SAGE project is developing scalable multi-agent architectures that enable buildings to recognize operational anomalies autonomously and react dynamically to environmental changes. The integration of multi-agent architectures in combination with Large Language Models (LLMs) and the development of a human-in-the-loop approach will optimize the collaboration between humans and machines. These solutions should significantly reduce the energy consumption of buildings and increase user-friendliness.

Green and Resilient City - Management and planning tools for a climate-sensitive urban development

The aim of the project was to provide a "proof of concept" of a control loop and tool set for the management, optimization and evaluation of green and climate-sensitive urban (district) planning- The tool set consist of urban and open space planning instruments as well as climate simulations at different scale levels.

Climbing plant NAVI - Webapplication for the reliable selection of climbing plants

The comprehensive web application "Climbing Plants NAVI" takes important para­meters such as the type of greening, weight classes, toxicity, ecological value, the possibility of culinary use, into account and thereby supports the selection of suit­able climbing plants for greening projects. The climbing plants NAVI is not only inten­ded for municipal representatives, planners and other professionals, but is also di­rec­ted at private individuals.

REal - The laboratory for Integrated Regional Renewable Energy Systems

In the REal project, a holistic, scalable and user-friendly concept was created, whereby sector-coupled, municipal energy systems with 100% renewable energy can be implemented, considering all necessary aspects from planning to operation, reducing design costs and accelerating an Austria-wide implementation.

Kolpingquarter Salzburg - on site quarter energy supply with an optimized warmwater solution and grid serviceability

In a quarter on the site of the Kolpinghaus Salzburg, consisting of a youth residence and a hotel, energy optimizations and extensions are being carried out. This includes the construction of an affordable residential building for young people and families as well as the redesign of the overall energy supply of the neighborhood. The goals are to maximize the use of on-site renewable energy, phase out fossil fuel heat supply, interconnect the buildings, and optimize energy efficiency.

IEA 4E Annex: Mapping and Benchmarking

In the Mapping and Benchmarking work (formerly M&B Annex) the following product were analyzed: domestic refrigeration (update), dishwashers, settop boxes, transformers and lights, for which this report includes most relevant results and the related M&B publications. It also introduces the 2015-2016 work on motors, liquid chillers, and water boilers.

Sustainable outdoor use of larch wood through classification of durability by means of innovative measurement methods

In this project the utilisation of untreated larch wood is promoted by means of innovative measuring-technologies. optic-spectroscopic measurements are linked to extractive contents and mass-decay, in order to predict the "natural durability". The innovative measurement process allows a quick and accurate estimate of natural durability during the manufacturing process.

Update of content and usability for the Manual for Energy Consultants (HfE-New)

The Manual for Energy Consultants had been adapted to present and future needs in energy consulting. The updated manual will preserve the basic concept (buildings with at least close to domestic energy use patterns, up to 1000 m² heated floor area, concentration on refurbishment) and the existing structure: Checklists, data sheets and explanations.

"eco fashion - fashion for the future" - Congress about ecological and social impacts of textile production

The project was intended to promote a change of image related to ecotextiles. A congress provided teachers and education experts with background information and tools for their work, thus leading to a sustainable transfer of knowledge in education.

CircularBioMaterials

ParaStruct GmbH explores the technical and economic possibilities of recyclable, mineral-bound biomaterials in the project. The result is a basis for further development work and investments in this area.

Lahof/Lanserhofsiedlung - Path to Zero CO2 - climate-neutral demonstration building in relation to the neighbourhood

The aim is to develop and implement an innovative, climate-neutral neighbourhood concept with various sustainable energy and building technology components. A central element here is the climate-neutral demonstration building in timber con­struc­tion. This building is equipped with thermal component activation in solid wood and combines innovative energy concepts such as wastewater heat recovery, large photovoltaic systems and a hydrogen system for seasonal energy storage.
