RCC2 - Life cycle assessment of heatable formwork for CO2-reduced and climate-neutral concrete
Experimental development of innovative formulations of CO2-reduced concrete and heated formwork to support early strength development in wintry temperatures.
ReAssuRe – risk management for re-use of construction components and building technology by non-destructive on-site testing procedures
Risk assessment and insurability is essential for the re-use of functional components in buildings. In the best case, properties of components can be examined before they are removed from the donor building. ReAssuRe identifies suitable on-site testing procedures and establishes a network for the quality assurance of re-use components.
ResourceRevival - District development from industry site to resource neutrality in Möllersdorf
The reuse of building elements is a much-discussed topic, but a truly circular district encompasses much more. Through interdisciplinary cooperation as part of a co-creative concept development at the Werk Möllersdorf, previously separately considered aspects of the circular economy are combined, symbioses between demand and availability of materials, energy, rainwater and grey water are identified and their circularity is maximized.
SAFE - Creating a safe school environment together
Tactical urbanism for the temporary redesign of school surroundings to reorganize school mobility in a participatory process. The resulting catalogue of measures will serve as a blueprint for an implementation at other schools in Austria.
SELF²B - self-aware, self-diagnosing buildings, HVAC, and PV systems for the next generation of energy efficient operations
SELF²B develops and demonstrates an AI-based, self-learning, and self-diagnosing fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) solution for HVAC and PV systems in two buildings in Vienna. The innovation surpasses the current state of the art by combining semantic data, ontologies, and machine learning. The goal is to achieve energy savings and efficiency improvements in building operations and to make the technology widely applicable.
STP2030, St. Pölten 2030: KlimaNEUTRAL + KlimaFIT
A broadly based, participatory strategy process for the co-creative development of the “Roadmap to Climate Neutrality” St. Pölten by 2030. The roadmap is based on a shared vision, which is differentiated into transformation paths in different fields of action. The result is a “climate of change” in urban society that serves as the basis for participation in tenders, cooperation and implementation on the way to climate neutrality.
STPionier - St. Pölten: From industrial city to climate pioneer city
Until the year 2022, the city of St. Pölten did not have a strategy or concept that dealt decisively with the climate crisis. One of the reasons for this was the lack of a responsible department in the St. Pölten administration. With the pioneer city process, a staff unit has now been established that takes on climate agendas and introduces and promotes them in municipal processes and projects.
Salzburg:KanS - Salzburg: Climate-neutral city
Salzburg:KanS aligns the vision and climate protection goals of the city of Salzburg with the climate neutrality targets of the province and estimates the sector-specific CO2 reduction contributions until 2030. Based on these contributions, the project develops implementation strategies for the entire city as well as the focus areas of “climate-neutral mobility” and “climate-neutral neighborhoods”.
SmartCity Baumgarten - Demonstration of an anergy network and implementation of climate-friendly solutions in existing districts
Implementation of a cross-property anergy network for the supply of heating, cooling and electricity in an existing neighbourhood. With this demonstration project, a technical-legal alternative for areas outside of district heating supply is developed, which makes it possible for neighbourhoods to join together to use renewable energies in common.
StadtKlimaVISION - Preparing an urban innovation laboratory for climate-neutral urban planning: It's starting in Linz!
In StadtKlimaVISION, an innovation laboratory for climate-neutral urban planning in the city of Linz is being designed with the aim of aligning urban planning instruments more closely with climate change adaptation and climate protection and involving stakeholders from business, science and civil society.
Tariffs4all - Participation of the citizens from Bruck in the energy transition for all
The project responds to the challenges of participation in the energy transition in the municipality of Bruck/Mur by exploring the possibilities of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), Peer to Peer Trading (P2P Trading) and virtual metering points for generation plants be developed and implemented as a basis for new tariff/financing models.
Thannhausen 2.0 - Thannhausen energy district: a role model and testbed for a renewable energy supply for neighbourhoods
Evaluation and testing of different energy distribution approaches in a neighbourhood using direct lines, storage or new legal options through the ElWG (Electricity Industry Act). The project builds on the existing direct line system in Thannhausen and will test different use cases for the (climate-neutral) supply of neighbourhoods there.
Topview - Methodology for the efficient use of remote sensing data for climate change adaptation and spatial energy planning
Development of integrated approaches to sustainable energy and heat planning in urban areas by utilising remote sensing data and geo-information-based technologies for decision-making in the planning of energy infrastructures and climate adaptation measures.
Tulln Climate Neutral City 2040 (Tulln2040)
The core of the project is the development of a systemic strategy at a city-wide level that shows how the city of Tulln will achieve climate neutrality by 2040.
Twin2Share - Digital twins for energy optimization in energy communities (ECs)
Digital twins to support energy communities over their life cycle. The project focuses on optimizing energy efficiency and costs, dynamic load management and the integration of users to promote sustainable energy use and the stabilization of the electricity grid.
Villab – Exploration of a Villach innovation laboratory for the cooperative development of sustainable neighbourhoods
The "Villab - Probe" project serves to check the feasibility of an urban innovation laboratory to accelerate the transformation of Villach districts towards climate neutrality. Assuming positive feasibility, the cooperation with relevant stakeholders will be deepened and a business plan drawn up for a future innovation laboratory.
Villach KlimaFit - Municipal Transformation Process to Achieve Climate Neutrality in Villach
The strategic framework for achieving climate neutrality has been decided in Villach and the city itself can already point to good results in its own sphere of action (buildings, photovoltaics). However, the lack of own energy and mobility operations, the type and scope of construction/investment projects (third-party projects) and the limited scope for action in strategic development topics (little land owned by the city of Villach) require the adaptation (transformation) of municipal instruments in order to implement climate neutrality holistically.
Vitality City - Holistic energy strategies for cities in transition
Energy simulation of any size city (municipalities) based on the data from laser scanning and satellite analysis (Geodata) to obtain dynamical energy demands and available energy resources.
WISE - Extension of the safety concept for heat pumps with flammable refrigerants for gas boiler replacement
In the project "WISE", safety concepts are being developed for the event of a leak in which flammable refrigerant escapes from the refrigeration circuit. These concepts aim to ensure a higher level of safety for residential installations than is currently required by the safety standard.
Wiener Neustadt Climate neutral
Wiener Neustadt as a pioneering city, is making a conscious and ambitious transition towards climate neutrality. This complex transformation requires different measures. The measures shall both be developed in-house or developed by others and transferred to Wiener Neustadt. The effect of the entire bundle of measures from the different areas (e.g. governance, implementation districts, learning environment or energy, mobility, buildings, etc.) is subject to fact-based climate monitoring.
