Green BIM 3 - Tools for Standardised Data Integration of BIM and Digital Twins, Including Ecosystem Services
The project aims to enhance the availability and integration of BIM data, ecological parameters, and other relevant information into the workflows of the green sector. To achieve this, a web-based application with suitable interfaces will be developed. The foundation for this is a detailed requirement specification, which will be established through interviews, workshops, and research, linking the individual components of the application.
GreenFDT – Green Façade Digital Twin
In an interdisciplinary framework, the possibilities for optimizing the rear ventilation distance of façade greening elements and their potential impact on indoor and urban climate are being investigated. The precise and comprehensive investigation of these relationships is made possible by the extensive deployment of sensors and measuring tools and furthermore the development and integration of a digital twin in a BIM model.
GreenGEO - Data-based integration of climate change adaptation measures into spatial planning
Green and blue infrastructure (GBI) is a key instrument in the fight against climate change. Nevertheless, deciding where and in what form it should be used most effectively remains a challenge in spatial planning practice. The development of a digital model that links location-specific climate risk data with suitable GBI measure proposals will make this much easier and more objective.
IMPACT – Hybrid hydraulic and electric charging of stratified compact hot water
The IMPACT project is developing an innovative decentralised hot water storage technology for large-volume urban housing.

The aim is to create a cost-efficient, sustainable solution for decarbonising water heating that is optimised using intelligent energy management and machine learning methods.
KLAIR - Dynamic Microclimate Intelligence for Sustainable Urban Development
KLAIR develops an AI-powered, dynamic urban climate map that simulates microclimatic stress as well as future scenarios such as greening or densification. By integrating climate, structural and health data, the tool enables evidence-based evaluation of adaptation measures and their health impacts. In this way, KLAIR supports cities of all sizes in climate-resilient, socially equitable and cost-efficient planning.
Kimoni – Artificial Intelligence for Monitoring the Performance of Green Infrastructure
Kimoni develops an AI-based tool for high-resolution analysis and assessment of Green Infrastructure for climate change adaptation. By combining satellite and geospatial data with machine learning, Kimoni provides a cost-efficient and scalable solution to comply with the EU Taxonomy and optimize climate-friendly investments.
KliB40-Climate Compass: Climate-neutral Bregenz 2040, climate compass for the structured participation of stakeholders and the citizens
The "KliB40 Climate Compass" supports Bregenz on its path to climate neutrality by 2040 through transparent development, selection, and monitoring of measures. It facilitates the coordination of climate protection activities and actively involves stakeholders. By evaluating existing software solutions, the project ensures optimal digital support for planning and implementing the city's climate strategy.
LiveDetail - AI-Supported Structuring, Evaluation, and Generation of Construction Details
The exploratory project investigates the feasibility of an AI-supported workflow that can automatically identify, semantically structure, and convert technical planning details into an openBIM-/IFC-compatible format while also enriching them with ecological assessment indicators. Its objective is to enable planners and architects to access high-quality detail knowledge through intelligent, language-based interaction and thus support more sustainable and resource-efficient planning decisions in the construction industry.
MARGRET Bioshade - Building Physics-Based Quantification of the Shading and Cooling Performance of Building Greening
The MARGRET Bioshade project investigates the impact of building greening on energy efficiency, climate adaptation, and building assessment. Its focus is on quantifying the shading performance of vertical greening systems, analyzing the water balance and evaporative cooling effects of different greening solutions, and developing standardized parameters for planning, simulation, and technical guidelines.
MokiG: Monitoring for climate-neutral buildings
The aim is to develop and implement an innovative monitoring concept to demonstrate the achievement of climate neutrality in buildings. A central element here is the integration and linking of various data sources. The basis for this is a data mesh structure, artificial intelligence and the creation of digital twins. Finally, the methodology will be tested on real buildings and discussed with users.
NEB Resources - Potentials in the Existing Urban Fabric for a Socially Inclusive, Circular and Climate-Just Matzleinsdorf
NEB Resources collaborates with residents to develop a feasible and politically supported transformation concept for a socially inclusive, circular, and climate-friendly Matzleinsdorf neighborhood in Vienna's Margareten district. Co-research, temporary interventions, and prototypes activate material and immaterial resources, thereby transforming physical spaces and social relationships.
NEXUS - AI for Next Generation Smart Buildings
he NEXUS project develops a novel AI-based framework for scalable fault detection and predictive maintenance of HVAC systems in buildings. NEXUS enables early fault detection without the need for large labeled datasets.

National ‘governance matrix’ for the mapping and display, optimization, and funding of spatial and urban planning across institutions (BW STMX STB)
Development of an interactive governance matrix for the nationwide mapping, registration and optimization of programs and funding tools for spatial planning at every scale. By creating transparency as well as placing existing policies and governance tools in relation to one another, the matrix offers an overview across departments and institutions that allows synergies to be utilized and gaps to be closed.
NeoEAI4Control - Neuro-Symbolic Edge AI for Efficient and Robust Control in Energy Management
Increasing energy efficiency in buildings is a key goal of the energy transition, which, together with increasing digitalization, is leading to new requirements for intelligent control and regulation. Traditional control methods are reaching their limits. As part of the project, we propose the use of edge AI with specialized neuromorphic chips to enable scalable, decentralized, efficient, and real-time control in buildings.
Q-Hub Villach - Climate neutrality and climate resilience as integral components of urban development instruments in Villach
