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.

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.

Process scheme for integrated Energy Master Planning that leads to a Resilient Energy System
How can we achieve resilient energy supply for buildings with critical infrastructure, based on renewable sources? Let us start with analysing the critical functions, assess the resilience, efficiency and sustainability of existing systems and add innovative and validated renewable energy sources as well as storage elements. This diagram shows you how to proceed.

Campus of the Johannes-Kepler university in Linz
A bird's eye view shows the potential of the university campus JKU. Many buildings from different construction ages can become much more efficient through thermal and electrical renovation. This also makes it easier to supply them with a local energy system based on renewable and combined heating and cooling, and to maintain critical functions even in difficult situations.

Classification scheme for building stock energy models
The classification scheme establishes a flexible framework for high-level model classification that: (a) builds from existing classification frameworks while accounting for emerging simulation-based, data-driven, and hybrid modeling techniques; (b) recognizes the potential sub-layers of a building stock energy model; and (c) encourages the description of additional model dimensions that are not readily captured by a high-level classification.

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.
