QS-winmount - Quality-Assured, Practice-Tested, Sustainable and Prefabricated Window Installation for Renovation and New Construction
The QS-winmount project is developing a sustainable, innovative, prefabricated window pre-wall mounting frame that integrates thermal bridge-free design, airtightness, solar shading, ventilation with heat recovery, fall protection, and fire protection.
Quartiershub Itzling - Innovation Lab for the Development of the Salzburg Itzling District Hub
Establishment of an urban district hub for coordinated, integrated, and socially inclusive neighborhood development and climate-responsive transformation. The development and close integration of an actors-, project-, data-, and knowledge-hub enables the piloting and evaluation of innovative, transferable solutions for integrated neighborhood development.
RENO moveup - Mobilisation, Networking, and Practical Implementation for Climate-Neutral, Life-Cycle-Oriented Construction with Impact
RENOmoveup aims to build an active community that drives the transition to a climate-neutral, life cycle-oriented construction sector through strong mobilisation and clearly structured networking and knowledge-sharing formats. To achieve this, key EU directives are translated into practical, accessible formats, concrete implementation strategies are developed, and these are supported by roadmaps, pilot groups, and factsheets.
RIGOR - Towards reproducible, transparent, and valid AI methods for buildings and cities
The RIGOR project investigates the actual added value and scientific reliability of AI-based methods in the context of buildings, districts, and cities. It focuses on reproducibility, transparency, and the objective comparison of modern AI approaches with simple, robust baseline models. The goal is to establish an evidence-based foundation for the responsible use of artificial intelligence in energy- and safety-critical applications in the built environment.
Re-Use: Holzhaus (Re-Use – Timberhouse) - Scenarios of conduction for Repair, Refurbish & Repurpose of prefabricated timber houses
The Re-Use: Holzhaus project deals with the recyclability of prefabricated wooden components, which are generally used for single-family homes and small apartment buildings and have both a long tradition and a diverse manufacturing structure in Austria. The project aims to take significant steps along the entire value chain to make components from the past more attractive as secondary raw materials and to prepare future prefabricated houses for this purpose in the best possible way.
ReNew Lindenplatz - Resolving key transformation conflicts for a climate-resilient redevelopment of the Lindenplatz district in Kapfenberg
The exploratory project ReNew Lindenplatz develops a transferable planning approach for climate-neutral and climate-resilient small and medium-sized cities, using the historic old-town district around Lindenplatz and Hauptplatz in Kapfenberg as a case study. Through interdisciplinary analyses, participatory processes and scenario-based development of alternatives, an integrated transformation concept for the district will be developed. The results will form the basis for a subsequent demonstration project and provide transferable solution approaches for other small Austrian pioneer cities.
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.
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.
Transform:Leoben2040 - Preparation of a demonstration project for the climate-neutral development of the Fichtlplatz–Kärntnerstraße district
The exploratory project Transform:LEoben2040 develops a transferable transformation concept for the municipal residential district Fichtlplatz–Kärntnerstraße in Leoben. By developing an integrated district energy system as well as new financing and operational models, the project aims to identify climate-neutral and economically viable solutions for transforming existing urban neighborhoods. The results will provide the basis for a subsequent demonstration phase and serve as a transferable model for other pioneer small cities.
Urban Sky - Satellite-based planning and analysis applications for climate-neutral and resilient cities
The project investigates how satellite data can support cities and municipalities (e.g. urban development, spatial energy planning, mobility transition). Based on demand and potential analyses, service concepts will be derived that integrate existing data and tools with satellite applications. The results will be presented in a study and a Space4Cities implementation roadmap.
sustAIn4Build - AI competence for sustainable building management in climate neutral cities
The objective of the project sustAIn4Build is to increase energy efficiency and sustainability in the building sector by using artificial intelligence (AI). Industry-specific training programs support Austrian companies to develop a workflow for integrating AI technologies into their processes, enabling them to develop resource-saving, cost-effective and sustainable solutions. This strengthens their competitiveness and contributes to the achievement of European decarbonisation goals.
