Wood.TAB - Investigation of thermally activatable timber components incorporating phase‑change materials for heating and cooling

Wood.TAB develops thermally activatable timber components with biogenic phase‑change materials for efficient heat and cold storage. The technology uses the building mass as a thermal storage system, reduces peak loads, and improves indoor comfort.

Wärmezukunft Steyr - Innovative Models for Climate-Neutral Heat Supply in Steyr

The project aims to establish the foundation for a climate-neutral, socially inclusive, and economically viable heating and cooling system in a pioneer city. It combines technical planning with governance approaches and the development of business and operator models. A special focus is placed on anergy networks, which - despite high upfront investments - offer strong potential for low-temperature, dual-purpose heating and cooling supply.

Zukunftshof - Zukunftshof Rothneusiedl - Crystallization point of a climate model district

Transdisciplinary expert networking to develop a structural, thermal, and energy-efficient renovation concept, as well as a master plan with innovative energy, monitoring, green space, and agricultural utilization concepts. The result serves as a source of ideas for contemporary revitalization and forms the basis for the implementation of the demonstration project.

reSOILution - Utilization of excavated soil for the production of earthen building materials

Excavated materials generate large amounts of waste and represent a key lever for resource conservation and waste reduction in the construction sector. The reSOILution project explores how excavated soil can be circularly processed into earthen building materials to reduce CO₂ emissions and promote a sustainable construction industry.
