IEA SHC Task 42/ECES Annex 29: Compact Thermal Energy Storage - Material Development for System Integration
The key accomplishments of the task are summarized in the following points: New material characterizing methods were investigated, a new standard for an improved DSC measurement method has been developed, a data base for PCM, TCM and sorption materials was developed and established, advances in the numerical modelling of materials, compact thermal storage systems were developed for different material applications, a tool for the economic evaluation of thermal energy storages has been developed. Also numerous joint R&D Projects and more than twenty publications arose from the IEA-SHC Task 42 networking activity.
IEA DSM Task 17 - Extension: Integration of Demand Side Management, Distributed Generation, Renewable Energy Sources and Energy Storages (working period 2013 - 2016)
The aim was to exchange experiences and developments in the field of integrating renewables with the help of DSM in residential and commercial buildings. Technologies like PV systems, electric vehicles, electric storages, heat pumps, micro-CHP in combination with energy management systems (via gateways), and implementing dynamic tariffs using smart meters offer huge potential to increase energy efficiency. Phase 3 of this Task addressed the current role and potential of flexible buildings and their related implied changes and impacts on the grid and markets. The scalability and applicability of successful projects with respect to specific regional differences and requirements was also explored.

Bürobau WKS - Plusenergie-Verwaltungsgebäude Ernstbrunn
Das neue Bürogebäude der Firma Windkraft Simonsfeld AG in Ernstbrunn soll - ausgehend von einer Plusenergiehaus-Planung - in sieben Schritten über eine positive Energiebilanz hinaus zu einem Demonstrationsgebäude weiterentwickelt werden.
IEA DSM Task 17: Integration of Demand Side Management, Distributed Generation, Renewable Energy Sources and Energy Storages
The main objective of the proposed Task is to study how to achieve the optimal integration of distributed generation, energy storages and flexible demand, and thus increase the value of distributed generation and demand response and decrease problems caused by intermittent distributed generation (mainly based on RES) in the physical electricity systems and at the electricity market. The Task deals with distributed energy resources both at local (distribution network and customer) level and at transmission system level where large wind farms are connected.
Self-discharge mechanisms in the vanadium redox battery
The Vanadium Redox Battery is an attractive solution to uninterrupted power supply applications. The battery is very robust and easy to use and an overall efficieny of >85% would be achieveable under conditions when self-discharge is minimized.

ArcheNEO - an energy-autonomous office park in Kitzbühel
ArcheNEO is a highly energy efficient office park, that produces more energy than it needs. It features an integrated energy concept that saves energy, uses renewable energies in combination with electric mobility and batteries as electricity storage and manages energy and was planned and built in Kitzbühel Oberndorf. The demonstration object will be multiplied and exported.
Safety and Authorization of Biomass Gasification Plants
Biomass gasification is a success promising technology for the combined heat and power production based on the utilization of domestic biomass. With this project a safety and commissioning guideline for the technology was created for the enhancement of the technology's market introduction.
Economic usage of Photovoltaic electricity in buildings
The aim of this project is to optimise the direct usage of PV-electricity produced in buildings. The main question concerning the right dimensioning of the PV generator should be answered in order to achieve a high direct usage rate of produced PV electricity under economic considerations. This analysis will be carried out for various building categories. As result, a calculation method will be developed (incl. report), in order to achieve the optimal, most economic PV system for various building categories and user typologies.
Renewable Biopolymers as Substitution for Bulk Plastics
Biopolymers consist of renewable resources. The concept deals with the development and implementation of technologies in the sector of renewable biodegradable materials.
NeSt INT - Neue Standards für alte Häuser international
Ziel war die Marktaufbereitung für energetische Sanierung von Siedlungshäusern gemäß dem in "Haus der Zukunft" erstellten Sanierungsleitfaden "Neue Standards für alte Häuser" für den tschechischen und den slowakischen Markt. Dabei wurden in den östlichen Nachbarländern Potentiale erhoben, Erfahrungen ausgetauscht, Informationen weiter gegeben sowie Kontakte zu den Zielgruppen aufgebaut.
Energiepaket Kolpinghaus / Eco-Suite Hotel
Das Kolpinghaus Salzburg, ein Jugendwohnheim und Sommerhotel, wurde um das Eco-Suite Hotel erweitert. Der Energieeinsatz im Erweiterungsbau wird mittels hoch effizienter Komponenten (wie LED-Beleuchtung) minimiert, vor Ort verfügbare Energiequellen – Abwasserabwärme und Sonnenlicht – werden genutzt und zur Abnahme der Plus -Energie-Wärme ein Vor-Ort-Energiesystem geschaffen. Für die Gäste des Hotels wird das Leben in einem Plusenergiegebäude erlebbar.
