LEIWAND - Local decisions for socio-ecological infrastructure change
Political-economic analysis of decision-making processes in mobility and land use. The interests of various stakeholders are identified, and proposals for improved decision-making in the context of a socio-ecological transformation are developed.
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.
LehB:KlimafitDemo2+1 - Living in existing buildings today: climate-friendly renovations in existing buildings within the framework of the common good housing law
The LehB:KlimafitDemo2+1 project examines innovative renovation solutions for the climate-fit modernization of non-profit residential buildings without placing a financial burden on tenants. By implementing a flexible modular system and involving the residents, economic, technical and social aspects of the renovation are optimized. The aim is to make an important contribution to achieving climate neutrality by 2040 through adapted measures and comprehensive monitoring.
LehmKur - Rammed earth walls for multi-storey residential buildings
Research of a lighthouse project consisting of rammed earth-timber exterior wall components with accompanying ecological life cycle analysis, building physics simulations and documentation of the necessary logistical, building law, fire and soundproofing measures.
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.
Linz with Ambitio3xn - Linz with ambition for climate neutrality: governance, infrastructure and climate-social neighborhood Franckviertel
The project "Linz with Ambitio3xn" supports the city of Linz in becoming climate neutral by 2040. Contributing to this ambitious goal requires aligning urban planning instruments with urban climate mitigation and decarbonizing existing gas infrastructure in the Franckviertel neighborhood. In the project, standards for net zero non-profit housing will be tested in practice and shared learning are promoted.
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.
LoPQ - Local Heat together - Pioneer Quarters for Neighborhood Heat and Colling Supply and Quarter Renovation
LoPQ develops integrated supply and renovation concepts for urban quarters by coupling anergy networks with renewable energy sources. From 20 initial sites, five pilot quarters will be selected for detailed feasibility studies, with one final quarter proposed for a follow-up R&D&I project. The interdisciplinary consortium combines expertise in technology, geosciences, and economics to create inaugural, holistic operating and financing models. Scaling these solutions addresses an investment volume of €1.9 billion and a CO2 reduction potential of approximately 25,600 t per year.
MADOKLI - Mannersdorf climate fit! Using local resources to combat and adapt to climate change for a climate-neutral neighbourhood
Development of a climate-neutral neighbourhood by integrating previously unused heat sources and sinks, such as the underground Mühlbach stream, to supply municipal buildings, to establish use-oriented water management and to develop solutions for climate-friendly outdoor spaces in the centre of Mannersdorf am Leithagebirge.
MARGRET - Measurement of greened/non-greened objects for the adaptation of calculation models
Development of measurement methods to determine the influence of greening measures on greened versus non-greened reference objects with contemporary building standards under uniform framework conditions. Proposals for adaptations of calculation models or standards to e.g. enable an integration in the energy performance certificate.
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.
MEIDLINGER L Demo
The MEIDLINGER L modular rank shelf system is intended to enable the widespread use of façade greening in existing urban areas. In combination with thermal refurbishment of existing buildings as well as greening, PV, water management, conversion of street space and mobility with the integration of resilient energy infrastructure as well as the application of a customized financing model and a service offer for multiplicability.
MidSKliN – Minimally invasive dynamic rehabilitation taking into account climate change adaptation, CO₂ emissions and grid compatibility
The project aims to develop and demonstrate minimal renovation measures at the building envelope level using modular, technically easy-to-implement building technology solutions for decisive CO2 reduction and climate adaptation in urban building stock.
Mind the gap - Development of a Directional Drilling Method for Shallow Geothermal Energy
The project develops a miniaturised directional drilling method enabling geothermal boreholes to be installed beneath existing buildings, addressing a major gap in densely built urban areas. By drilling from accessible edge zones and keeping all probes on private land, permitting procedures are simplified and public-space interventions minimized. The study assesses technical, regulatory and economic feasibility and forms the basis for subsequent prototype development.
Mission2030 – Climate-neutral Smart City Klagenfurt 2030
As Austria's only city, Klagenfurt is part of the EU Cities Mission 2030. Along with Rome, Barcelona, Laibach and other European cities, the Carinthian state capital has set itself the goal of being climate neutral by 2030. A project that is not utopia, but quite realistic! An essential component and backbone of this mission is the Austrian Pioneer Cities Program.
ModularHeatNet
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.
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.
