FROSCHBERG 2.0 - Designing existing neighborhood(s) to be renewable and replicable

Exploration of replicable solutions for the socially acceptable transformation of existing neighbourhoods towards climate neutrality using the example of the Froschberg workers' housing estate. The result, the presentation and integration of climate neutrality into the refurbishment roadmap for the Froschberg workers' housing estate, serves as a starting point for implementation in a follow-up project.

FW-Netz Traiskirchen - Feasibility study on decarbonizing the district heating network in Traiskirchen by using the sewage treatment plant as a heat source

The exploratory project is examining the technical, economic, and ecological feasibility of community-wide decarbonization of the district heating network in Traiskirchen. The focus is on merging the existing sub-networks and utilizing wastewater heat from the sewage treatment plant using a large heat pump. The results will form a basis for strategic decision-making and serve as a model for other small and medium-sized towns.

FluccoSan - Circular energy flexibility for resilient, climate-neutral refurbishments

FluccoSan aims to develop innovative and cost-effective refurbishment solutions for the building sector that contribute to achieving the Austrian federal government's climate targets. The focus is on energy-efficient, minimally invasive and socially acceptable measures, so-called “dynamic renovations”. By integrating the circular economy and social science research, these solutions should ensure long-term sustainability and a high level of acceptance among users. Status: ongoing

Green BIM 3 - Tools for Standardised Data Integration of BIM and Digital Twins, Including Ecosystem Services

The project aims to enhance the availability and integration of BIM data, ecological parameters, and other relevant information into the workflows of the green sector. To achieve this, a web-based application with suitable interfaces will be developed. The foundation for this is a detailed requirement specification, which will be established through interviews, workshops, and research, linking the individual components of the application.

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.
