GreenDeal4Real - Improving the thermal comfort in mixed-use areas through cost-effective green infrastructure
The aim of the project is to avoid overheating in summer by using innovative greening measures in the mixed residential and commercial area Aspernstraße/Lavaterstraße. The development of a guideline should facilitate the realisation of climate-sensitive projects from strategy to actual implementation and ensure a high degree of transferability to other areas.
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.
HEDWIG - Collection of measurement data to assess the impact of green buildings
HEDWIG aims for the assessment of effects from green roofs and facades on buildings by using monitoring data referring to microclimate and building physics. The objective is to define validated vegetation parameters and performance indicators on indoor and outdoor level and on microclimatic relevant street space level. Standardised indicators, evaluation and analysis procedures will be elaborated.
Heat islands Feldbach - Synergetic measures against overheating and heavy rain in preparation for an R&D&I project in Feldbach
Analysis and evaluation of the effects and cost-benefit ratios of synergetic measures with regard to overheating and heavy rain in cities. Based on this, an implementation plan will be developed for a subsequent demonstration in Feldbach, which can be used in many similar cities.
HeinrichBiCool - Climate-positive cooling and biodiversity through intensive greening of buildings
Using the example of an existing building of the University of Graz, currently affected by overheating, the project demonstrates what greening can achieve. Comprehensive monitoring of the indoor climate, building physics, energy requirements and biodiversity before and after the greening measures provides new scientific findings on the actual effectiveness of building greening.
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. Thanks to a novel, flat design, the system enables highly efficient utilisation of renewable energy sources such as heat pumps and photovoltaics. 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.
K3 - Climate-neutral Klagenfurt Clinic
As part of Klagenfurt on Lake Wörthersee's climate neutrality ambitions, the focus is on the development of climate-neutral districts with a wide variety of functions and uses in the city area. In collaboration with the state hospital operating company - KABEG, a climate neutrality roadmap for the Klagenfurt clinic district is being developed with scientific support from JOANNEUM RESEARCH Forschungsgesellschaft mbH.
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.
KlimaP Stockerau
The municipality of Stockerau, with a population of around 17,000, is the largest town in the Weinviertel region, located approximately 25 km north-west of Vienna. It is a school town, a transport hub and a centre of attraction for industrial and commercial enterprises. The city has been actively involved in climate change adaptation for over 30 years.
Klimagärten³ - Biodiverse, CO2-saving, close to nature: climate gardens³ for Austria's garden future
The Klimagärten³ project is dedicated to the climate-friendly design of gardens and green spaces in Austria. The focus is on activating the previously untapped climate protection potential of private and public gardens. Through research, practical trialling and social networking, ways are shown in which gardens can act as CO₂ sinks and strengthen biodiversity.
Kooperativ Ternitz - New cooperative models for a climate resilient settlement revitalization
Kooperativ Ternitz is developing innovative cooperation models for settlement development as a contribution to a climate-neutral city. These models are being implemented in the Dreiersiedlung with a focus on sustainable mobility, green and blue infrastructure, and the revitalization of the settlement center, the results are being made available to stakeholders.
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.
LooPi - the autonomous unisex plant-based urinal for public spaces
Application of the prototype in the operational environment for a period of 20 months. Technical monitoring thoughout the cycle of seasons, user interviews concerning satisfaction, evaluation of the potential use of LooPi material streams as soil conditioner for organic farming. Results serve the development towards market maturity.
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.
MEIDLINGER "L"-Participatory and scalable climate change adaptations in existing buildings at the intersection of public and private space
The project pursued an integral and interdisciplinary approach to climate change adaptation in existing buildings at the interface between public and private space. A scalable and multipliable model for Vienna and other cities had been developed.
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.
