TEA-PUMP – Techno-economic Analysis of Thermo­electric Modules for Efficiency and Performance Enhancement in Heat Pumps for Residential Buildings

The TEA-Pump project explores the innovative use of thermoelectric elements (TEM) in compression heat pumps to enhance their efficiency and performance. Through a comprehensive techno-economic analysis, promising heat pump (HP) configurations for use in urban multi-family housing are identified. The project makes a significant contribution to the decarbonization of heating and cooling supply and supports the development of climate-neutral cities through energy-efficient, future-oriented heat pump technologies.

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.

cityclimAIte - Study on AI applications to achieve and support climate-neutral cities

The central task of this study is to provide decision-makers with a comprehensive over­view and to derive recommendations for the efficient use and benefits of AI based on the estimated effects. The aim is to strengthen national value chain in this field of technology through appropriate, supportive framework conditions.

lowTEMP4districtheat - Reduction of the system parameters of heating networks for the integration of renewable heat sources using soft sensors

Analysis of the use of soft sensors in addition to selective real measurements for the complete recording of real-time parameters of heating networks. The data obtained enable detailed grid simulations with low computing power requirements and form the basis of a strategy for lowering the grid temperatures and feeding in decentrally generated heat.
