FROSCHBERG 2.0 - Designing existing neighborhood(s) to be renewable and replicable
Exploration of replicable solutions for the socially acceptable transformation of existing neighbourhoods towards climate neutrality using the example of the Froschberg workers' housing estate. The result, the presentation and integration of climate neutrality into the refurbishment roadmap for the Froschberg workers' housing estate, serves as a starting point for implementation in a follow-up project.
IK-EnErGie-Knoten - Intermunicipal Electricity and District Heating Network St. Ruprecht–Weiz–Gleisdorf
The IK-EnErGie-Knoten project is developing a sector-coupled, bidirectional energy system for the climate-neutral city of the future. The intelligent networking of existing electricity and heating infrastructures and new cooperation models that transcend property boundaries are creating a scalable energy hub that serves as a model for Austria.
ECO-Transformation - Energy transformation through community building, sufficiency and serial solutions using the example of the "Cottage District"
Combining technical and environmental-psychological expertise to develop a transformation process towards a climate-neutral neighbourhood based on the methods of community building, sufficiency potential and serial implementation solutions using the example of the Cottage Quarter. Preparation of the serial implementation of the developed solutions and the transformation process.
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.
MEIDLINGER L Demo
The MEIDLINGER L modular rank shelf system is intended to enable the widespread use of façade greening in existing urban areas. In combination with thermal refurbishment of existing buildings as well as greening, PV, water management, conversion of street space and mobility with the integration of resilient energy infrastructure as well as the application of a customized financing model and a service offer for multiplicability.
Decarb Alt Erlaa - Transformation of Alt Erlaa residential park into a climate neutral district
The “Decarb Alt Erlaa” research project has demonstrated how Austria’s largest housing estate can be transformed into a climate-neutral neighbourhood. Feasibility studies on structural and building services engineering measures, social support, carbon capture technologies and risk analyses confirm the technical feasibility and social acceptability of the project. The “JUNG Erlaa” demonstration project now offers the opportunity to put the developed concepts into practice.
Build4Climate - Demonstration building with a climate room concept at the Innovation Quarter Lavanttal in Carinthia
Near the Wörthersee in Carinthia a modern open-space research and office building with flexible use is being built on the site of Lakeside Science & Technology Park GmbH. The innovative building will be implemented as a frontrunner with a 'climate room' concept based on thermal component activation and extensive use of renewable energy sources.
Campus St. Martin - Pioneering project: Church ensembles become climate-friendly,inclusive NEB centres of cohesion
A church building complex is becoming a prototype for combining monument preservation with new types of use. In line with the NEB initiative, the 'Campus St. Martin' is to be developed into a district community centre for informal encounters, culture, social and personal exchange, education and community.
Climate Quarter Melk
Radical and comprehensive transformation of a city quarter in the small town of Melk, Lower Austria, involving the areas of urban planning, landscape architecture, traffic planning and co-creation - demonstrated by the implementation and rededication of a parking lot to an urban, inner-city climate forest within project life-time.
Co-Housing Gutenberg: Integrated Sector Coupling for Shared Living, Energy, and Mobility
The "CoHoGutenberg" project aims to establish a sustainable co-housing model in the rural community of Gutenberg, Styria, by combining sufficiency principles with state-of-the-art energy technologies.
LehB:KlimafitDemo2+1 - Living in existing buildings today: climate-friendly renovations in existing buildings within the framework of the common good housing law
The LehB:KlimafitDemo2+1 project examines innovative renovation solutions for the climate-fit modernization of non-profit residential buildings without placing a financial burden on tenants. By implementing a flexible modular system and involving the residents, economic, technical and social aspects of the renovation are optimized. The aim is to make an important contribution to achieving climate neutrality by 2040 through adapted measures and comprehensive monitoring.
CEPA-Connect
The CEPA energy facade is an innovative building refurbishment system with an external active energy level. The aim is to revolutionize the refurbishment market. The development of the system focuses on holistic solutions for the thermal-energetic refurbishment of buildings.
SlagShot
Investigation and analysis of the possible admixture of EAF slags as cement replacement in shotcrete applications for filling spandrels. In collaboration with circular economy expert Thomas Romm ZT, promising results are being tested for application at WienerLinien construction sites.
Drain2Energy - Demonstration of a wastewater heat exchanger suitable for renovation in two existing buildings
Drain2Energy demonstrates an innovative in-house wastewater heat exchanger that can also utilize black water from toilets and is particularly suitable for retrofitting existing buildings. The technology is being tested in two demonstration buildings and monitored in real operation. The results provide key insights into the potential of wastewater heat as a renewable heat source and promote the use of this technology in existing and new buildings.
ZEBdemo - Development and demonstration of a scalable zero emission building for the realization of climate-neutral cities
The ZEBdemo project is developing and demonstrating a scalable zero-emission building that drastically reduces CO2 equivalent emissions during the construction phase by using building materials such as clay bricks and straw insulation. At the same time, operational emissions are minimized through an intelligent, data-driven energy management system.
LehmKur - Rammed earth walls for multi-storey residential buildings
Research of a lighthouse project consisting of rammed earth-timber exterior wall components with accompanying ecological life cycle analysis, building physics simulations and documentation of the necessary logistical, building law, fire and soundproofing measures.
MADOKLI - Mannersdorf climate fit! Using local resources to combat and adapt to climate change for a climate-neutral neighbourhood
Development of a climate-neutral neighbourhood by integrating previously unused heat sources and sinks, such as the underground Mühlbach stream, to supply municipal buildings, to establish use-oriented water management and to develop solutions for climate-friendly outdoor spaces in the centre of Mannersdorf am Leithagebirge.
FavoriteFlows – Innovative solutions for water and energy cycles in buildings for a climate fit city
Demonstration of detailed planning work and implementation of water cycles (building-integrated constructed wetland wastewater treatment) and energy cycles (wastewater heat exchanger) on a large residential apartment development for climate resilience, resource efficiency and high living standard.
