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.
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.
REFUGIUM – Innovative Use of Church Infrastructure for Inclusive and Climate-Resilient Neighborhood Development
REFUGIUM is developing a new collaborative approach (public-private partnership) between the City of Klagenfurt and the Catholic Church. In four pilot neighborhoods, innovative climate protection measures will be jointly identified and examined. This exploratory phase serves as the basis for planned demonstration projects and thus represents an important contribution to the Smart City climate strategy and to the EU Cities Mission "100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030".
NeoEAI4Control - Neuro-Symbolic Edge AI for Efficient and Robust Control in Energy Management
Increasing energy efficiency in buildings is a key goal of the energy transition, which, together with increasing digitalization, is leading to new requirements for intelligent control and regulation. Traditional control methods are reaching their limits. As part of the project, we propose the use of edge AI with specialized neuromorphic chips to enable scalable, decentralized, efficient, and real-time control in buildings.
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.
#EEG++ Digital Energy Communities Optimized
The project developed an innovative energy system for plus-energy neighborhoods by integrating advanced photovoltaic installations, IoT technology, and energy communities to maximize the self-consumption of renewable energy while ensuring economic efficiency and user-centricity.
MARGRET - Measurement of greened/non-greened objects for the adaptation of calculation models
Development of measurement methods to determine the influence of greening measures on greened versus non-greened reference objects with contemporary building standards under uniform framework conditions. Proposals for adaptations of calculation models or standards to e.g. enable an integration in the energy performance certificate.
