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.

Measurements setup in test dwelling

The pictures shows the measurement setup in an unoccupied dwelling in the fieldstudy object "An der Lan" from the Innsbrucker Immobilien Gesellschaft.

Data soures

Schematic drawing of the usable parameters from different possible data sources.

Model scheme

Scheme of a resistor-capacitance model (RC model) which can describe the heatflows of a building in a simplified manner.

Co-Citation analysis in CiteSpace

The network characterises the development of research fronts and related topics. The network shows the 15 most relevant research topics by title and abstract.

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.

Indoor air pollutants in residential housing

This figure illustrates possible indoor air pollutant sources in residential buildings.

Schematic illustration of the active overflow principle

This figure shows an example of how the principle of active overflow can be implemented in a residential unit.

Example illustration of the Indoor Air Quality metric of Subtask 1

An example of Indoor Air Quality / Energy signature for low-energy residential buildings (data represented here are just for display and do not represent actual situation).

Particulate matter emissions during cooking

The figure shows the emitted particulate matter mass as a function of particle size for three different cooking processes.

Technology Readiness Level, TRL, of various mobile applications of fuel cell systems.

In the aerospace sector, industrial trucks, cars and buses, TRLs of between 7.5 and 9 can be achieved. Light commercial vehicles, two-wheelers and trains achieve a TRL between 6.5 and 7, and aviation and shipping a TRL of 5.5.

Comparison of component manufacturing costs for fuel cells currently and in the future

The cost analysis is based on sales of 100,000 Fuel Cell systems per year. With current technologies, up to $73/kW can be achieved, with future technologies up to $60/kW in 2030. The greatest reduction potential of minus 33% is in the Fuel Cell stack.

Comparison of battery-electric/hydrogen-based propulsion for heavy-duty commercial vehicles.

The reduced loading capacity of BEVs due to the high battery weight leads to a doubling of traffic for the same load to be transported. This results in higher energy consumption overall, despite the higher efficiency of the BEV single vehicle.

Analysis comparing different drive options and the break-even point of TCO costs.

The general trend shows that FC propulsion is competitive with FCEV and BEV in terms of TCO costs in all vehicle categories from 2030. From 2040, similar TCO costs are expected for both FCEV and BEV in all vehicle categories.

IEA-TCP Graph: Visualization of all nodes and edges in the IEA-TCP data model

Size of the nodes corresponds to the number of connections, color to the type of node (see 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).

International cooperations of Austria in context of TCP activities.

Worldmap of Austrias cooperations with other countries in context of the IEA Technology Collaboration Program reasearch activities. Line thickness indicates the number of cooperations.

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.
