Q-Hub Villach - Climate neutrality and climate resilience as integral components of urban development instruments in Villach
The project aims to position the city of Villach as a model for systematic, climate-neutral and climate-resilient urban development by establishing the Q-Hub as a central hub between administration, research, business and civil society. This hub will develop methods, processes and standards and integrate them into urban planning instruments.
Q2NEB - Transformation of quarters according to criteria of the New European Bauhaus
New European Bauhaus, Green Financing, energy transition and climate change adaption – the qualification network Q2NEB prepares Austrian enterprises for upcoming challenges and chances concerning the transformation of quarters to sustainable, inclusive and aesthetic neighbourhoods.
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.
RaumCoop 2.0 - Space Cooperative, a systematic operational model for activating unused or underutilized spaces.
The RaumCoop organizes the sharing of spaces, mobilizes underutilized spaces for non-residential purposes in the ground floor area, and makes them available for temporary use at affordable conditions. The goal of the project is to establish this non-profit organization.
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.
ReSpace – Reclaiming Spaces
ReSpace is developing an AI-based model for identifying, categorizing, and activating sealed areas. Existing data sources (aerial and satellite images, mobile network data, land registry entries) are integrated and enhanced with dynamic analysis to derive evidence-based recommendations for action.
SPOT – Smart Parking Space Optimization Tool
SPOT develops a data-driven tool for demand-oriented optimization of parking spaces in urban areas to use space more efficiently and promote climate neutrality. The tool supports cities in reducing parking areas and creating green spaces by calculating evidence-based parking space ratios.
SUDICA - Sustainable Digitalization as a Challenge for City Administrations
The project investigates the tension between digitization and sustainability in city administrations, particularly focusing on the largely unaddressed, negative global feedback effects of digital technologies. It aims to systematize these interactions, develop an integrative understanding, and lay the groundwork for a more sustainable use of digitization in municipal decisions.
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.
Stadtwandel - sustainable transformation and climate change adaptation of town and city centers
Stadtwandel aims to initiate sustainable transformation in small cities and municipalities.
Stanz+ - An innovative, energy-flexible plus-energy district - the centre of the village Stanz
Stanz+ is working on the implementation of an energy strategy for structurally weak municipalities with specific measures for revitalisation and re-densification in the building stock as well as the integration of renewable energy sources in the municipality of Stanz im Mürztal (Styria). The project includes multipliable approaches towards energy autonomy, hybrid use of energy networks for flexible usage and an energetic revitalisation of the village centre with the involvement of users in the "Rural Pioneers Community" for the usage of energy services.
StatiPLANT - Exploration of a standardized model for the static assessment of climbing plants
The StatiPLANT project aims to systematically record and analyze static loads on vertically greened facades caused by climbing plants under the influence of wind, tensile forces, and dead loads of the plants. The goal is to develop a conceptual, parameterizable assessment model as the basis for a standardized design procedure in structural engineering.
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.
Vision4Voitsberg - Climate neutrality plan 2040 for the municipality of Voitsberg
Voitsberg aims to support the achievement of national climate goals by developing a tailored roadmap that builds on existing projects and targets climate neutrality by 2040. This roadmap will be created in close collaboration with the city administration, key interest groups, and decision-makers from politics and business.
