nZEB - Residential Building D12 – Aspern / Vienna / Austria
The residential building “D12” is a block of 7 buildings with 4-6 storeys each, commercial use on the ground-floor on 900 m². The conditioned gross floor area is about 19,080 m². The buildings’ heating and DHW system is basically based on different heat pump technologies. The overall energy delivering system is designed to support demand response with a multitude of different energy sources. The building blocks are in operation since March 2016.

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.

Austrian examples for industrial heat pumps: heat sources
Different heat sources are used. The most common heat sources are processes that need to be cooled and waste heat streams, that still usable heat. In addition, waste heat from refrigerating machines and compressed air systems as well as flue gas condensation is used.

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).

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).

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.
