2-K3 - Prototypical demo project for the concretization and compatibility of 3C and affordability in residential construction
The R&D project 2-K3, based on the concrete demonstration project "Wiener Luft" at the former Vienna Nordwestbahnhof (Northwest Railway Station), addresses the question of how the three Cs of climate protection, climate change adaptation, and the circular economy can be fully implemented in a prototypical, affordable, subsidized Viennese housing project.
Anergy2Plus - Demonstration and expansion of an anergy network as part of a holistic energy concept and plus energy quarter
The overall objective of the project is to pursue and demonstrate a holistic approach to the design, construction and ultimately the use of the residential quarter in the context of energy supply. Especially in the area of thermal energy supply, a project with lighthouse character on the way to a plus-energy quarter is to be created by demonstrating the innovative supply concept based on an anergy network.
Building the Future Together: the NEB:werk Model Quarter Payerbach in the Semmering World Heritage Region
The NEB:werk Payerbach project transforms the central village square of Payerbach in the UNESCO Semmering World Heritage Region into a climate-resilient, community-driven model quarter aligned with the principles of the New European Bauhaus. By combining adaptive reuse, regional craftsmanship, sustainable energy concepts and participatory planning, the project creates a future-oriented place for living, working, culture and social interaction. NEB:werk treats built heritage as a resource and develops transferable models for sustainable rural transformation.
Campus St. Martin - Pioneering project: Church ensembles become climate-friendly,inclusive NEB centres of cohesion
A church building complex is becoming a prototype for combining monument preservation with new types of use. In line with the NEB initiative, the 'Campus St. Martin' is to be developed into a district community centre for informal encounters, culture, social and personal exchange, education and community.
City – Country – Climate: Four districts, one joint roadmap for a climate-neutral Gratwein-Straßengel
The aim is to initiate a structured and effective path towards climate neutrality 2035+ in the market town. In the context of the project, climate neutrality includes the topics of neighbourhoods and buildings, mobility and energy.
Climate Pioneer Districts Graz (KPQ Graz): Preparation of the climate-neutral districts ÖBB Eastern Railway Station and Smart City North-West
The Climate Pioneer Districts Graz (KPQ Graz) project is preparing the development of the districts "ÖBB Eastern Railway Station" and "Smart City North-West" in Graz towards climate neutrality. Based on the lessons learned of the evaluation of the already realised district "Smart City Graz", an innovative district concept is being created for the infrastructure topics of energy, mobility, green/open space and social sustainability. The central goal of the exploration is the subsequent realization of at least one of the two pilot quarters.
Climate Plan Spittal - Development of a climate neutrality roadmap for the city of Spittal an der Drau
The City of Spittal/Drau is already addressing the challenges of the future in many areas and through numerous initiatives (e.g. as part of a KEM and KLAR region, as an e5 municipality, with the adoption of a climate and energy mission statement in 2024, etc.). The city aims to maintain the quality of life both locally and regionally, and to continue ensuring high-quality urban living, working, and economic spaces. It recognizes that achieving this requires short-, medium- and long-term strategies across all climate-relevant sectors.
Climate-School-Life - Preparation of the climate-neutral educational campus in Gratwein-Straßengel
The project aims to start the transformation process of the educational campus of the market town of Gratwein-Straßengel into climate-neutrality. The need for the expansion and modernisation of the elementary school forms the central part of this development. The project provides an integrated district concept for the four central infrastructure topics of the project: urban development, architecture, mobility and energy. Participation processes of the population and innovative financing models are further components of the exploration.
ClimateCare - Green rating for climate-vulnerable groups in urban areas
The project utilizes climate and satellite data to analyse the relationship between urban green spaces and the well-being of heat-vulnerable populations in ten Austrian pioneer cities. The project delivers data-backed recommendations and investment rankings for greening measures, such as rooftop and façade gardens, to maximize health benefits and cost-effectiveness.
ClimateConcrete Bregenz - Model development of transferable NEB quality processes for climate-resilient urban districts in Bregenz
KlimaKonkret Bregenz is not a traditional planning project; rather, it develops a clear framework for quality and decision-making in future urban development. Its aim is to bring together topics such as climate resilience, mobility, building culture, and social issues in a way that enables policymakers and administrators to make well-informed, sustainable long-term decisions. This results in concrete tools, such as binding quality criteria in accordance with NEBKritQ and—where appropriate—a design guideline derived from these criteria for future projects.
Commercial Quarter Erdberger Mais (EBM) - Transformation of a Business Development Area into a Climate-Resilient Commercial Quarter
The project addresses the urgent need to further develop existing industrial areas in a climate-resilient, resource-efficient, and future-oriented way. The approximately 7.6-hectare commercially used site in Vienna is to be developed as an industrial-commercial area in line with the Wien-Plan (Urban Development Plan 2035).
DUO-TES - Double utilization of aboveground and underground sprinkler water tanks as thermal energy storages
Exploratory project on the dual use of sprinkler and fire-fighting water tanks as thermal energy storages and their integration into building-internal heating and cooling processes as well as into district heating and cooling networks. The dual use of this infrastructure promises significant decarbonization and cost-reduction potential through energy savings and an increased share of renewable energy, while simultaneously enhancing system resilience.
Densifying without Sealing - Research on the sustainable transformation of existing single-family neighbourhoods
Interdisciplinary research to develop and test a new approach for significantly increasing density in existing single-family neighbourhoods without adding any new sealed land, by strategically extending buildings upwards within their current footprint. The project delivers a practical decision basis to pave the way for a demonstration project supporting climate-resilient urban development.
Designing Synergies. Spatial and Energetic Transformation Scenarios for Small Towns and Municipalities Using the Example of the Wagram Region (Lower Austria).
An interdisciplinary exploratory project that synergistically analyses strategies for the activation of vacant buildings and the potential for the formation of small-scale energy communities. The starting point is student projects from the Institute of Architecture and Design, TU Wien, for four municipalities in the Wagram region. On this basis, an interdisciplinary team of experts is developing a concept for a synergy cluster focussing on spatial energy planning, building physics, the circular economy and social innovation.
Digi-HBV - Topology-optimised reinforced concrete slabs with digital formwork and reinforcement
Digi-HBV delivers a reusable, material-efficient floor system that combines ecological impact with industrial feasibility. Core innovations include interlocking, CNC-milled timber dowels for the timber–concrete interface, demountable joints to ensure in-plane (diaphragm) action, and a generative, LCA-coupled file-to-factory workflow. Full-scale load tests verify load-bearing capacity, durability, and demountability. The outcome: at least 50% lower manufacturing emissions, significantly shorter construction times, and a scalable product for climate-neutral, circular construction.
