Town Hall District 2040
A preparatory step for a demonstration project that develops a well-founded and integrated planning basis. It aims to interconnect the energy system, buildings, open spaces, and social structures in order to create a climate-resilient and multifunctional urban quarter.
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.
DREI x NULL = NULL - Research project on climate-neutral construction in all life cycle phases based on three demonstration buildings
The aim of the F&E project is the realization of three different residential buildings, which are all climate-neutral in the life cycle phases of construction, operation and dismantling. The aim is to create exemplary showcase projects for the future residential construction sector.
ECEE Climate Positivity
The ECEE Climate Positivity project aims to develop a climate-positive, scalable energy concept for commercial buildings. Through the innovative combination of building-integrated photovoltaics, component activation, and intelligent energy management, the project seeks to reduce CO₂ emissions, lower operating costs, and establish new business models for sustainable construction.
Lahof/Lanserhofsiedlung - Path to Zero CO2 - climate-neutral demonstration building in relation to the neighbourhood
The aim is to develop and implement an innovative, climate-neutral neighbourhood concept with various sustainable energy and building technology components. A central element here is the climate-neutral demonstration building in timber construction. This building is equipped with thermal component activation in solid wood and combines innovative energy concepts such as wastewater heat recovery, large photovoltaic systems and a hydrogen system for seasonal energy storage.
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.
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.
HeinrichBiCool - Climate-positive cooling and biodiversity through intensive greening of buildings
Using the example of an existing building of the University of Graz, currently affected by overheating, the project demonstrates what greening can achieve. Comprehensive monitoring of the indoor climate, building physics, energy requirements and biodiversity before and after the greening measures provides new scientific findings on the actual effectiveness of building greening.
fERNkornSAN – decarbonization and renovation with renewable materials of the "Gründerzeit"-building Fernkorngasse 41
Using the example "Gründerzeitgebäude" in Fernkorngasse 41, 1100 Vienna, technical challenges and issues related to phasing out gas and oil as well as adapting to climate change are investigated. A particular focus is placed on the use or resource-efficient and ecological building materials and highly efficient technologies. The results should be the basis for the use for further projects.
NEB Strobl - NEB-compliant development of the "Fürstenberg – Living Together" neighborhood in the municipality of Strobl
Implementation of the New European Bauhaus (NEB) goals for neighborhood development in rural areas, using the model district "Fürstenberg" in the municipality of Strobl as a case study, and the development of an evaluation tool for NEB neighborhoods.
2-K3 - Prototypical demo project for the concretization and compatibility of 3C and affordability in residential construction
The R&D project 2-K3, based on the concrete demonstration project "Wiener Luft" at the former Vienna Nordwestbahnhof (Northwest Railway Station), addresses the question of how the three Cs of climate protection, climate change adaptation, and the circular economy can be fully implemented in a prototypical, affordable, subsidized Viennese housing project.
Smart Dag - smart and climate-neutral renovation of the Dag Hammarskjöld housing estate
For a smart and sustainable renovation of the Dag Hammarskjöld housing estate in the city of Klagenfurt, a residential area from the 1950/1960s, the existing housing stock (buildings, green and open space, social structure) will be analysed and assessed based on the "Quartier &Wir" guide. The results are the basis for the launch of an architectural competition. The residents of the area who still live on site and the housing development agency of the department of the provincial Carinthian Government are involved in the feasibility study. The aim is to transfer the results of the study to other renovation projects and thus contribute to achieving the city of Klagenfurt's climate goals.
ModularHeatNet: Roadmap for zone-specific heat supply in the existing Ottensheim Mitte neighbourhood – renewable & scalable
The aim of the project is to support Ottensheim in phasing out fossil fuels and developing a "climate-neutral" heat supply. As a result, the community will receive a solid decision-making basis based on the technical, economic, organizational, and environmental comparison of the examined heat supply approaches.
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.
