Information-point for renewable and environmental/ecological materials
An internet platform with full information and detailed data about building materials made of renewable resources, which serves as the central information-point for different stake holders - from private house builders over architects and master-builders to experts in the field of building laws and regulations.
Industrially produced residential dwellings
Potential of future development for industrially produced residential dwellings Enquiry on international tendencies in automated manufacturing and assessment of viable strategies for their implementation into the Austrian building sector
Rebuilding of the organic farm Achleitner, straw & clay - room climatisation with plants
Rebuilding of a marketing-, store- and processingcenter with an organic freshmart and an organic restaurant in passivhouse quality. Application of regional building materials, an innovatve overall energyconcept, climatisation with plants.
Hygrothermal behaviour of double-skin facades in solar irradiation - theory evaluation by means of on-location measurements
Detailed clarification of the base parameters of thermodynamic simulation calculations by means of on-location measurements on the five-storey double-skin facade of the Federal Institute of Social Education in Baden bei Wien
Results of the latest research about thermal use of solar energy in multi-storey housing, prepared for builders and planners
The relevant Know-How in the fields of "sustainable building and energy supply" will be gathered. The information will be transferred to the relevant target groups (building promoters, architects, planners, customers). This will be done during workshops, planning assistance and a catalogue of quality criteria. The focus lies on solar thermal systems for multiple-family houses.
Technical status of ventilation systems for buildings
Evaluation of existing ventilation systems in Austria considering technical quality and practicability.
OPTISOL - Demonstration objects accompanied by measurement techniques for optimised and standardised solar systems in the construction of residential buildings for several families
The implementation of optimised solar heat supply systems in the construction of residential buildings for several families within the framework of an in-depth test.
High-quality refurbishment - Designing quality standards for the refurbishment of municipal buildings
Designing quality standards for ecological refurbishment (based on E. Panzhauser's proposals, 2001); applying them to characteristic types of buildings systematically selected in diverse municipalities; the achieved results shall serve as good practice examples for future refurbishment and as basis of discussion on subsidy regulations.
User-friendly heating and ventilation systems for low energy and passivehouses
The goal of the research project is the evaluation of different heating and ventilation systems for passive- and low energy multi family and office buildings taking into account indoor climate, possible variation of user behaviour, final and primary energy demand, costs, space demand and fail save installation and operation.
Innovative Refurbishment of Single Family Houses
Evaluation of best-practice models and recommendations to support dissemination
Architecturally Diverse, Energetic Renewal
Post War Modernist Buildings Under Monument Protection. A Comparative Analysis of Energy Efficient Renewal Case study: Open Air School Franklinstrasse, Wien 21
Cooperative Refurbishment
Models for participation of owners and tenants in ecological refurbishment of multi floor buildings
old house? old house!
The renovation and restructuring of existing housing stock using modern, ecologically efficient building technology as a means for developing Assisted Living Centres for senior citizens within an urban context
Existing building reconstruction and implementation of passive house components
Implementation of passive house components, systems and techniques into the practice of existing building reconstruction, in order to reduce the energy consumption as much as possible and to increase the living quality substantially. Craftspeople and planners, who are specialized in building renovation, should gain access to passive house know-how.
Subjective housing quality as social acceptance test of sustainability
Post occupancy evaluation with residents of four low energy building projects and four conventional residential buildings in the city of Salzburg. (A co-operative project with the Workers Chamber of Salzburg and provincial research into residential building).
Comfort for sustainability
Research project on comfort and on the health and recreational value of passive houses
Information point for renewable and ecological materials (II) internet platform, information and service offer and transfer event "Building of Tomorrow"
Establishment of www.nawaro.comas the central platform for building materials made of renewable resources will be realised with the help of the enlargement of the internet database and extensive service and information offer consisting of stake holder support, events, PR and transfer for "House of Tomorrow.
Binderfree Cellulose Compounds
Optimisation of weatherproof-performance (UV-protection and water-tightness) of binderfree cellulose compounds (incl. life cycle optimisation)
Specification for biomass heating systems for buildings with low energy demand
The aim of this project was to develop specifications for biomass heating systems for buildings with a low energy demand. The focus was on multi-family residential buildings and office buildings.
Benchmarking - sustainability of housing subsidies across the federal provinces
Systematical description, analysis and comparison of all ecological, economic and social sus-tainability of the systems aspects of housing subsidy for new buildings and the renovation of buildings across the federal provinces of Austria; an analysis of regional-economic effects and a statistical-econometric analysis of the allocation effects of housing subsidies.
