Kooperativ Ternitz - New cooperative models for a climate resilient settlement revitalization

Kooperativ Ternitz is developing innovative cooperation models for settlement development as a contribution to a climate-neutral city. These models are being implemented in the Dreiersiedlung with a focus on sustainable mobility, green and blue infrastructure, and the revitalization of the settlement center, the results are being made available to stakeholders.

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.

GreenGEO - Data-based integration of climate change adaptation measures into spatial planning

Green and blue infrastructure (GBI) is a key instrument in the fight against climate change. Nevertheless, deciding where and in what form it should be used most effectively remains a challenge in spatial planning practice. The development of a digital model that links location-specific climate risk data with suitable GBI measure proposals will make this much easier and more objective.

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.

GreenFDT – Green Façade Digital Twin

In an interdisciplinary framework, the possibilities for optimizing the rear ventilation distance of façade greening elements and their potential impact on indoor and ur­ban climate are being investigated. The precise and comprehensive investigation of these relationships is made possible by the extensive deployment of sensors and measuring tools and furthermore the development and integration of a digital twin in a BIM model.

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.

IEA Bioenergy Task 42: Alternative sustainable carbon sources as substitutes for metallurgical coal (2019)

Dieser Report beschäftigt sich mit alternativen nachhaltigen Kohlenstoffquellen als Ersatz für metallurgische Kohle. Tests zeigen, dass Lignin ein geeigneter Ersatz für metallurgische Kohle sein kann. Sahajwalla et. al

Tariffs4all - Participation of the citizens from Bruck in the energy transition for all

The project responds to the challenges of participation in the energy transition in the municipality of Bruck/Mur by exploring the possibilities of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), Peer to Peer Trading (P2P Trading) and virtual metering points for generation plants be developed and implemented as a basis for new tariff/financing models.

SIMPLE AD Evaluator - S.I.M.P.L.E. Sustainable Integration Modeling and Predictive Leveraging Evaluator

The SIMPLE AD Evaluator fills an existing gap in sustainable local planning by provi­ding a low-threshold and collaborative evaluation tool for early planning phases. By linking questionnaires with System Dynamics models, the tool delivers well-founded decision-making foundations and customized sustainability checklists. This supports municipalities, project developers, and decision-makers in achieving a strategic and cost-efficient sustainable transformation from concept to implementation.

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.

Diverse DH Pöchlarn - Diversifi­cation strate­gies for a sector-coupled district heating supply in the mu­ni­ci­pality of Pöchlarn

The project aims to explore the feasibility of maximizing industrial waste heat ex­trac­tion into the district heating system of the municipality of Pöchlarn so that the defossilization path can be taken further.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
