nZEB office building Post am Rochus
The building owner’s goal was to design, build and use a modern, comfortable building. The building development process aimed to have very high standards of sustainability and energy efficiency in achieving, commissioning and operation. Therefore, the construction project was supported by research experts from the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT). The overall objective of the research project was to shorten the commissioning phase by detailed investigation and optimisation of the control strategies of the building services engineering. Through the application of integral planning, construction/operating companies were brought together with experts. The results were clearly documented and control strategies were hardware tested in advance so that malfunctions could be detected, avoided and eliminated.

Austrian examples for industrial heat pumps, distribution in industrial sectors
A total of 68 examples of industrial heat pumps in Austria were collected. Those systems are considered that are integrated into an industrial or commercial process on the heat source and/or sink side. The examples come from various sectors whose good suitability for heat pumps is already known, such as the food industry (17 examples), energy suppliers (11 examples) and the metal processing industry (11 examples).

Austrian examples for industrial heat pumps: heat sinks
Industrial heat pumps are most often used to heat buildings (33 examples) or to provide district heating (19 examples). Heat supply for processes occurs in 13 examples.

Austrian examples for industrial heat pumps: time of commissioning
Numerous industrial heat pumps were put into operation after 2012. This clearly shows that the spread of industrial heat pumps in Austria is increasing and that more information about these systems is also being published.

Experimental setup for investigating the frosting performance of heat exchangers at low ambient temperatures
Measurement sequence: in the initial phase the thermal mass of the heat exchanger is accommodated to the tempering conditions (A to B1), and then the main frost growth takes place (B1 to B2). Afterwards, the rapid change of the heat exchanger thermal state (at air flow rate curve steepest gradient) takes place (B2), and frost creation continues until the heat exchanger is fully blocked and the temperatures do not change any more (C).

Combination of Methods used by TCP-Activities
A set of methods was developed to categorize the kind of project work that is done in the activities. The figure shows which methods are applied how often in total (node size), and which methods were frequently applied together (edge width) by activities. The color corresponds to the different method cate-gories described in chapter.

IEA-Topics, Related Activities and Working Parties
IEA-topics on level 1 (orange, node size corresponds to the official RD&D budget 2015) and TCP-activities (non-orange nodes) and related TCP-working parties (see color code in legend).

Participation of countries in IEA Technology Collaboration Programmes and Related Research Topics
Absolute (upper chart) and relative (lower chart) number of TCP-activities that countries are participating in. The color code shows how the assigned activities are related to the IEA-Topics and how the countries set their priorities with regard to the research topics (based on the IEA RD&D taxonomy).
