The Villach Climate Alliance

Climate-neutral city of Villach: "We - the Climate Alliance partners - are working on realizing the vision of a climate-neutral city of Villach. Together we will start and accompany the necessary processes, taking into account social, ecological and economic factors." This was signed by 14 partners during the vilFIT closing event.

mindmap barriers/obstacles

The contributions of the participants on the topics "framework conditions", "barriers/obstacles", "opportunities" and "measures" collected in the kick-off meetings were clustered by the project team and processed in mindmaps. These mindmaps were finally used by the Climate Alliance partners at the final event to prioritize the individual contributions.

mindmap opportunities

The contributions of the participants on the topics "framework conditions", "barriers/obstacles", "opportunities" and "measures" collected in the kick-off meetings were clustered by the project team and processed in mindmaps. These mindmaps were finally used by the Climate Alliance partners at the final event to prioritize the individual contributions.

mindmap measures

The contributions of the participants on the topics "framework conditions", "barriers/obstacles", "opportunities" and "measures" collected in the kick-off meetings were clustered by the project team and processed in mindmaps. These mindmaps were finally used by the Climate Alliance partners at the final event to prioritize the individual contributions.

WebGL visualisation of collected building data via the Gamification App

Data, collected by our mobile game (gamification), can be interactively mapped to 3D BIM model and visualized.

Cost and time effort for the generation of Material Passports (MPv1-4)

Comparison of the costs and hours. For the Material Passports MPv1-3 high-tech methods were applied and were generated through high-tech methods. The MPv4 was compiled manually, based on 2D-drawings and standard acquisition methods.

Urban morphology

Different appearance of the same urban morphology based on the chosen emphasis (Street grid, Islands, Buildings, Green Spaces)

natural-lighting issue: sharp angle between buildings

Natural lighting issues for sharp angles between buildings, based on the rules of OIB RL 3.

Different Urban Densification Scenarios #2 - Use Case Area Triesterstraße/Graz

Different urban densification scenarios - based on natural lighting, view facotrs, and height limitations.

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.
