SmartCity Baumgarten - Demonstration of an anergy network and implementation of climate-friendly solutions in existing districts

Implementation of a cross-property anergy network for the supply of heating, cooling and electricity in an existing neighbourhood. With this demonstration project, a technical-legal alternative for areas outside of district heating supply is developed, which makes it possible for neighbourhoods to join together to use renewable energies in common.

StadtKlimaVISION - Preparing an urban innovation laboratory for climate-neutral urban planning: It's starting in Linz!

In StadtKlimaVISION, an innovation laboratory for climate-neutral urban planning in the city of Linz is being designed with the aim of aligning urban planning instruments more closely with climate change adaptation and climate protection and involving stakeholders from business, science and civil society.

Tariffs4all - Participation of the citizens from Bruck in the energy transition for all

The project responds to the challenges of participation in the energy transition in the municipality of Bruck/Mur by exploring the possibilities of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), Peer to Peer Trading (P2P Trading) and virtual metering points for generation plants be developed and implemented as a basis for new tariff/financing models.

Thannhausen 2.0 - Thannhausen energy district: a role model and testbed for a renewable energy supply for neighbourhoods

Evaluation and testing of different energy distribution approaches in a neighbourhood using direct lines, storage or new legal options through the ElWG (Electricity Industry Act). The project builds on the existing direct line system in Thannhausen and will test different use cases for the (climate-neutral) supply of neighbourhoods there.

Tulln Climate Neutral City 2040 (Tulln2040)

The core of the project is the development of a systemic strategy at a city-wide level that shows how the city of Tulln will achieve climate neutrality by 2040.

Twin2Share - Digital twins for energy optimization in energy communities (ECs)

Digital twins to support energy communities over their life cycle. The project focuses on optimizing energy efficiency and costs, dynamic load management and the integration of users to promote sustainable energy use and the stabilization of the electricity grid.

Villach KlimaFit - Municipal Transformation Process to Achieve Climate Neutrality in Villach

The strategic framework for achieving climate neutrality has been decided in Villach and the city itself can already point to good results in its own sphere of action (buildings, photovoltaics). However, the lack of own energy and mobility operations, the type and scope of construction/investment projects (third-party projects) and the limited scope for action in strategic development topics (little land owned by the city of Villach) require the adaptation (transformation) of municipal instruments in order to implement climate neutrality holistically.

Vitality City - Holistic energy strategies for cities in transition

Energy simulation of any size city (municipalities) based on the data from laser scanning and satellite analysis (Geodata) to obtain dynamical energy demands and available energy resources.

WISE - Extension of the safety concept for heat pumps with flammable refrigerants for gas boiler replacement

In the project "WISE", safety concepts are being developed for the event of a leak in which flammable refrigerant escapes from the refrigeration circuit. These concepts aim to ensure a higher level of safety for residential installations than is currently required by the safety standard.

Wiener Neustadt Climate neutral

Wiener Neustadt as a pioneering city, is making a conscious and ambitious transition towards climate neutrality. This complex transformation requires different measures. The measures shall both be developed in-house or developed by others and transferred to Wiener Neustadt. The effect of the entire bundle of measures from the different areas (e.g. governance, implementation districts, learning environment or energy, mobility, buildings, etc.) is subject to fact-based climate monitoring.

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.

crowd2raum - Participatory co-financing models for socially innovative and sustainable reactivation for vacancies

As part of the exploratory project "crowd2raum", existing funding and support programmes are being combined with existing crowdfunding mechanisms (imGrätzl.at/WeLocally.at platform) to create a co-financing model for vacancy activation. This will be developed and tested in practice through the activation of four vacant spaces in the base zone in the defined pilot areas in Vienna and Graz.

m-hub - a web-based data hub for collection and query of material compositions of the building stock of the City of Vienna

The project creates a web-based platform with which the material composition of buildings within the city of Vienna can be entered and queried. In the background, a prediction model based on artificial intelligence is trained to make forecasts for buildings that have not yet been cataloged.

sewageENERGYrecovery - Performance comparison of different wastewater heat recovery systems for renewable heat generation

Independent detailed testing of the performance and efficiency of different wastewater heat recovery systems in actual operation by analysing measurement data. Evaluation of the analysed systems with regard to their optimal application possibilities.
