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.
ClimateConcrete Bregenz - Model development of transferable NEB quality processes for climate-resilient urban districts in Bregenz
KlimaKonkret Bregenz is not a traditional planning project; rather, it develops a clear framework for quality and decision-making in future urban development. Its aim is to bring together topics such as climate resilience, mobility, building culture, and social issues in a way that enables policymakers and administrators to make well-informed, sustainable long-term decisions. This results in concrete tools, such as binding quality criteria in accordance with NEBKritQ and—where appropriate—a design guideline derived from these criteria for future projects.
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.
SuperQ3 – Neighborhood demonstration of a superblock in the Dreiheiligen district, Innsbruck
SuperQ3 is the first scientifically supported demonstration of the superblock concept in Innsbruck as a model for climate-neutral neighborhood development. The project combines traffic calming, improved environmental and residential quality, and participatory transformation in the district of Dreiheiligen. It will deliver transferable urban modules, practical guidelines, and evidence-based findings for further neighborhoods.
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.
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.
LeiSan - Flagship Project: Renovation of the Komposch-Ebene Residential Quarter in Bad Eisenkappel, Carinthia
Exploration for an existing quarter in Bad Eisenkappel with the goal of renovating the building stock, involving the residents, the open space, mobility, and local generation of renewable energy. The result should demonstrate the economic feasibility of a holistic concept for the quarter and serve as a basis for a demonstration project.
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.
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.
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.
