Concept of NaNu3 framework, selected roof elements, and performance indicator groups.

The figure shows the concept on the framework, the selected roof elements and the performance indicator groups.

Presentation of the 3 main elements of the project photovoltaic, green roof and water management.

The diagram lists the 3 main components of the NaNu3 project photovoltaics, green roofs and water management. For each component, the input parameters, function and effect are shown schematically.

Visualization of the planning parameters as well as their components in the NaNu3 model.

The figure shows the choices for various roof systems and combinations and the associated component options.

Graphical comparison of two different flat roof use cases.

The graphic shows two different use scenarios, their performance and the precipitation potential as well as the monthly precipitation amounts and irrigation requirements. They differ in graywater treatment (left) and walkable roof terrace (right). The left scenario shows a significantly better performance in most KPI categories.

Schematic representation of M-DAB project goals

The figure shows schematically how the M-DAB project can have a positive impact on reducing the primary resources used /increasing the amount of recycling in the construction sector by improving the data situation and the spatial location of material resources in the city.

Simulation and visualization prototype

The figure shows a screenshot of the visualization prototype with a three-dimensional map representation of the calculated quantities of building materials per district. Thereby, district base areas are extruded in height depending on the material quantities. Colors indicate the dominating material group (in this representation predominantly concrete incl. screed). The color assignment follows ÖNORM A-6240. Left of the map, the scenario editor is shown, which allows setting of demolition rates for buildings of different construction periods as well as assumptions for the future population growth and the housing demand per inhabitant. Right of the map is a detailed analysis for the 22nd district of Vienna marked on the map. A bar chart shows the material quantities per material group in tons. In the navigation bar on top of the map, scenarios from the scenario editor can be loaded and saved, and it is also possible to switch between the map view and other diagram views. Below the map is a time slider that can be used to track the calculated values of the scenarios over time between the year 2020 and the year 2050.

Floor and building area potentials (>550 m² floor area) per building block in Vienna.

This figure shows 2 choropleth maps of Vienna a) the "unused floor area potentials" in Vienna and b) building area potentials (in square meters), - unbuilt building land, each per building block. In both categories, the potentials are mainly found in the districts north of the Danube, but also in the south of Vienna and in Simmering, whereas floor area potentials can be found in the entire city area.

Prototype A - Turn window opening to inside

This window has a smooth, fully-glazed appearance from an indoor perspective. There are no obvious handles; The window is motorized and features a ventilation-position.

Prototype B - Turn window opening to outside

This prototype is a sil-integrated window featuring mechatronic fittings. The window can be offset parallely into a ventilation position. From the ventilation position, the window can be opened in a 90 degree turn position. The window offers a very minimalistic appearance for use in punctuated facades.

Prototype C - Swing window

This prototype offers a swing operation, which is controlled via mechatronic components. As such it offers a wide variety of opening positions for different purposes as small-scale ventilation.

Constituents of vacuum glass products (principles)

This illustrations shows the main constituents of vacuum glass products: Glass edge seal, vacuum gap, distance pillar and bordering glass panes.

Cross-actor collaboration on forward-looking, long-term grid planning

A new structured methodology to facilitate cross-actor collaboration on forward-looking, long-term grid planning, enabling key actors to explore their respective roles and interdependencies, thereby facilitating development of efficient grid planning strategies.

Expert audience from all over Austria at the Battery Safety Talk 2024

Around 80 experts from research, development, industry and authorities were able to exchange ideas on the topic of battery safety at the Battery Safety Talk in May 2024. The organizer was the Green Testing Lab in Hartberg, which created the opportunity to get to know different perspectives and to enter discussions with experts from different areas.

Activity centers during the workshop on electromobility and fire protection in Linz

Around 50 experts from research, industry, emergency services, and government agencies were able to exchange ideas at the "Electromobility and Fire Protection" workshop held at the Feuerwehrschule in Linz. The event was organized by IRIS – Industrial Risk and Safety Solutions, and, with funding from the Austrian Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Community (BMIMI) and the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), provided an opportunity to explore different perspectives and engage in discussions with experts from various fields.
