LTS Flywheel - Long Term Storage-Flywheel: New approaches for increasing the economically usable storage time and safety
Development of the fundamentals for a Long Term Storage (LTS)-flywheel for decentralized storage of electrical energy (e.g. from wind or PV power plants), with a significant increase in storage time (goal: 12 hours) and safety, featuring low system costs. Therefore, the LTS-Flywheel is an essential contribution to the building of the future.
Possibilities of urban high-rise multi-storey buildings in a timber-frame method with target course eight or more floors
Research of urban high-rise multi-storey buildings in a timber-frame construction method. Fundamental clarification of the feasibility in relation to the supporting structure, fire prevention and security. SWOT analysis as well as economic, ecological research concerning sustainable design.
AGelFa - Development of surface structurable final-coating stucco systems on high-performance heat-insulating aerogel insulation plaster for historic building facades.
High-performance insulating plaster systems represent an important option toward improving the thermal insulation of historic buildings without changing their physical appearance. The high-performance aerogel insulation plaster has recently become available for deployment. In this context, the present will explore final stucco systems suitable for building with structured surfaces.
Comfort ventilation plus+: First time development of high efficient comfort ventilation systems that enable demand-control of room-wise airflow for new buildings and refurbishment
First time development of innovative components for comfort ventilation systems used in new buildings and renovation that enable demand-control of air flow room-wise. The outcome is a considerable reduction of the primary energy balance and a sustainable solution of problems concerning the discrepance between satisfying humidity and very good indoor air quality within the heating period.
(energy central 400+) Marketable energy central from 400 kW with innovative, simple electricity conversion for residential building, public utility and commercial objects
Development of a marketable, decentralised "energy central" on a scale from 400 kW for the generation of electricity, heating (and cooling) for residential building, public utility and commercial objects, with a broad variety of applicable fuels on the base of regionally available biogenous residual materials.
ReSpace – Reclaiming Spaces
ReSpace is developing an AI-based model for identifying, categorizing, and activating sealed areas. Existing data sources (aerial and satellite images, mobile network data, land registry entries) are integrated and enhanced with dynamic analysis to derive evidence-based recommendations for action.
FavoriteFlows – Innovative solutions for water and energy cycles in buildings for a climate fit city
Demonstration of detailed planning work and implementation of water cycles (building-integrated constructed wetland wastewater treatment) and energy cycles (wastewater heat exchanger) on a large residential apartment development for climate resilience, resource efficiency and high living standard.
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.
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.
ExTra - ExergyTrafos for heating and air conditioning through district heating
As a contribution to the reduction of CO2 emissions, the project aims at upgrading existing heating networks by adding new devices, so-called exergy trafos, to the heat-exchanging transfer stations. These are driven by district heat and provide heating and cooling, as well as a reduced return temperature, as a service.
