Decarb Alt Erlaa - Transformation of Alt Erlaa residential park into a climate neutral district
Exploration of a transformation of the Alt Erlaa residential park into a climate neutral district based on systematic potential analyses regarding structural measures, building technology measures and a sociological monitoring of the transformation process. The result of the exploratory study serves as a starting point for implementing the measures in a follow-up project.
Designing Synergies. Spatial and Energetic Transformation Scenarios for Small Towns and Municipalities Using the Example of the Wagram Region (Lower Austria).
An interdisciplinary exploratory project that synergistically analyses strategies for the activation of vacant buildings and the potential for the formation of small-scale energy communities. The starting point is student projects from the Institute of Architecture and Design, TU Wien, for four municipalities in the Wagram region. On this basis, an interdisciplinary team of experts is developing a concept for a synergy cluster focussing on spatial energy planning, building physics, the circular economy and social innovation.
DieWärmePioniere - Participatory climate transformation roadmap as basis for a demo district in the gas-supplied Kahlenbergerdorf
Development of a transformation roadmap for the decarbonization of a neighborhood and implementation of a subarea. Securing acceptance of the project and raising awareness through an active participation process of the population and the establishment of an energy community for heat supply.
DigiHemp/ Digital technologies for quality assurance and performance enhancement of hemp-based building materials
Development of digital methods for describing, predicting and optimizing the thermal/mechanical properties of composite materials made from bio-based raw materials. Taking into account the complex material morphology as well as the properties of the components for the prediction of building material properties, the overall goal of increasing the use of bio-based building materials shall be achieved.
Diverse DH Pöchlarn - Diversification strategies for a sector-coupled district heating supply in the municipality of Pöchlarn
The project aims to explore the feasibility of maximizing industrial waste heat extraction into the district heating system of the municipality of Pöchlarn so that the defossilization path can be taken further.
E3 - Energy, Equity, Equality
Identification of barriers faced by specific groups in utilizing key energy transition technologies in communal and urban settings, including smart home, electric mobility, and energy communities. The results serve as a foundation for the development of inclusive and socially just technologies.
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.
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.
ELEMENTS - Development of a procedure for the evaluation of elements of the post-war building stock (1960 - 1979) in Graz, Austria
Investigation of the building stock constructed in Graz between 1960 and 1980 with the aim of creating the basis for developing a potential analysis procedure regarding its preservation and refurbishment. Stakeholders, including those from the fields of planning and building practice, will be involved in the development of the results.
ESG-STADTLABOR as a driver of technology and innovation for the climate-neutral city
The primary objective of the ESG-STADTLABOR is to lay the foundations for ESG-compliant urban development and urban administration, to develop innovative strategies that support sustainable and socially urban development, while increasing efficiency and trustworthiness in administration.
EWV4EnergyTransition - Concrete Contributions to the Urban Energy Transition Using the Example of Properties Owned by the Evangelischer Waisenversorgungsverein Wien
The project addresses key challenges in expanding renewable energy and establishing renewable energy communities within densely built urban areas. The aim is to clearly identify these challenges first and subsequently develop effective solutions through an inclusive and gender-sensitive communication strategy.
Earthen building 2.0: Earthen building of the future - The art of craftsmanship based on engineering approaches
The exploratory project investigates the suitability of fiber optic sensors for the long-term monitoring of the deformation behavior of rammed earth wall elements under moisture and temperature fluctuations (shrinkage) as well as loads (creep). The experimental findings will be integrated into a finite element model to simulate failure behavior under load.
EnerPHit-for-2040 - EnerPHit for a climate-resilient St. Johann
St. Johann wants to set an example for other municipalities by developing a climate roadmap with feasible and financially viable measures.
Exploration project “Glangaerten” – development of a climate neutral neighbourhood in Salzburg Maxglan
In the course of the exploratory talks, the concepts for the development of the climate-neutral district will be developed. Basics are being developed for the topics: citizen participation – mixed use – energy – mobility and open space with the aim of realising a sustainable Plus Energy Quarter that brings added value to the district.
F4WM - Fit4WienerMission
Preparation for the EU Urban Mission by updating goals and strategies (Smart City Wien Framework strategy, Climate-Roadmap), developing a manual for climate-neutral Viennese neighbourhoods and concepts for the participation of citizens (Climate Citizens' Council) and businesses (Climate Agreements), as well as a city-internal capacity and structural planning.
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.
Favorite Facades Reuse
The exploratory project "Favorite Facade ReUse" has set itself the goal of renovating and thermally upgrading buildings with curtain facades with a maximum proportion of reuse and the greatest possible protection of the residents. The authenticity of the building is preserved, and CO2 emissions are minimized.
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.
Fit4Klim - Fit through education for the climate
The aim of the project is to develop and test customised training courses to qualify cities and municipalities in the areas of climate change adaptation and climate protection, spatial planning, green finance, energy and mobility.
Fit4NEB_Linz - Sommerfeld Ebelsberg: NEB-Neighbourhood development sustainable, aesthetic, participatory
Building on the previous planning and participation processes, sustainable, aesthetic and participatory development principles should be defined, and an New European Bauhaus (NEB) quality assurance process set up. Furthermore, implementation projects that are suitable for the EU funding program Horizon Europe should be designed.
