Linz with Ambitio3xn - Linz with ambition for climate neutrality: governance, infrastructure and climate-social neighborhood Franckviertel
The project "Linz with Ambitio3xn" supports the city of Linz in becoming climate neutral by 2040. Contributing to this ambitious goal requires aligning urban planning instruments with urban climate mitigation and decarbonizing existing gas infrastructure in the Franckviertel neighborhood. In the project, standards for net zero non-profit housing will be tested in practice and shared learning are promoted.
Living lab INNERGY (Tyrol): Transformation of heat and energy supply in Tyrol
The goal of transforming heat and energy supply is to be accelerated by the submitted initial project INNERGY. It consists of an innovation laboratory and a coordinated lead project.
Living lab Murau: Real-world laboratory of the energy transition for inner-Alpine regions
The # Reallbor Murau uses a cooperative approach to promote the Murau region as a 100% renewable regional system power plant. The aim is to create the highest possible degree of utilisation of renewable energy in the region itself and at the same time to export surplus energy in line with demand.
Living lab WEIZplus (Weiz)
The WEIZplus region is committed to the climate-neutral transformation of its energy system through a regionally supported energy cooperative that develops, finances and implements projects. The EnergieRaumLabor innovation lab promotes this transition through supporting measures and serves as a real-world test bed with great transfer potential for Austria. The flagship project “Fossilfree-4Industry” uses five model solutions to demonstrate how industry and commercial enterprises can phase out fossil fuels.
Living lab Waldviertel: 100% renewable energy
“We help people shape their (energy) future”. The living lab 100% RES Waldviertel has set itself the goal of developing solutions to supply the Waldviertel with 100% renewable energy sources and to become climate-neutral by 2035. To achieve this, the results developed in the EneuerbaresWald4tel flagship project are being put into practice by the 100% RES Waldviertel innovation lab.
Living lab cells4.energy (Burgenland): Regional energy cells as multi-energy living labs for a rapid system transition
The project objective of the initial project, which is to be achieved as part of this overall concept, is the development and implementation of a regional energy cell concept that is capable of ensuring a secure and reliable energy supply based on 100% renewables across all sectors as a core component of the future energy system.
LooPi - the autonomous unisex plant-based urinal for public spaces
Application of the prototype in the operational environment for a period of 20 months. Technical monitoring thoughout the cycle of seasons, user interviews concerning satisfaction, evaluation of the potential use of LooPi material streams as soil conditioner for organic farming. Results serve the development towards market maturity.
MADOKLI - Mannersdorf climate fit! Using local resources to combat and adapt to climate change for a climate-neutral neighbourhood
Development of a climate-neutral neighbourhood by integrating previously unused heat sources and sinks, such as the underground Mühlbach stream, to supply municipal buildings, to establish use-oriented water management and to develop solutions for climate-friendly outdoor spaces in the centre of Mannersdorf am Leithagebirge.
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.
MEIDLINGER L Demo
The MEIDLINGER L modular rank shelf system is intended to enable the widespread use of façade greening in existing urban areas. In combination with thermal refurbishment of existing buildings as well as greening, PV, water management, conversion of street space and mobility with the integration of resilient energy infrastructure as well as the application of a customized financing model and a service offer for multiplicability.
MaBo - material saving in bored piles - a contribution to reducing CO2-emissions in the construction industry
Development of an innovative method for saving material in bored piles in order to reduce CO2 emissions in the construction industry. By optimizing the construction methods and using alternative materials, the sustainability of the foundation bodies is to be improved.
MeteoR – mechanical-thermochemical process combinations for the recycling of fine fractions from waste treatment facilities
In waste treatment plants large quantities of fine fractions are generated. Due to their heterogeneity and properties, these fractions are currently not used although they contain a whole range of materials that represent valuable resources. The aim of the project MeteoR is to enable the utilization of all components (mineral, metallic, and combustible) of fine fractions by combining mechanical and thermochemical processes, to close material cycles and to significantly contribute to the further development of the Austrian circular economy and the reduction of CO2 emissions.

Mission2030 – Climate-neutral Smart City Klagenfurt 2030
As Austria's only city, Klagenfurt is part of the EU Cities Mission 2030. Along with Rome, Barcelona, Laibach and other European cities, the Carinthian state capital has set itself the goal of being climate neutral by 2030. A project that is not utopia, but quite realistic! An essential component and backbone of this mission is the Austrian Pioneer Cities Program.
Mistelbach climate neutrality roadmap
In January 2024, the municipality of Mistelbach in Lower Austria unanimously decided to draw up a climate neutrality roadmap for 2040. The municipality is thus continuing on its path towards climate neutrality and can build on numerous completed activities.
Modular and standardised passive houses in solid timber construction
Concerning to an accurate and adaptable construction of 2 to 4 storey solid timber houses with the characteristics of a passive house, a digital construction and dimension system will be developed. The system which contains standardised modular ecological detailed solutions enables an exact dimensioning and installation of passive houses by small carpentering companies.
ModularHeatNet
The aim of the project is to support Ottensheim in phasing out fossil fuels and developing a "climate-neutral" heat supply. As a result, the community will receive a solid decision-making basis based on the technical, economic, organizational, and environmental comparison of the examined heat supply approaches.
MokiG: Monitoring for climate-neutral buildings
The aim is to develop and implement an innovative monitoring concept to demonstrate the achievement of climate neutrality in buildings. A central element here is the integration and linking of various data sources. The basis for this is a data mesh structure, artificial intelligence and the creation of digital twins. Finally, the methodology will be tested on real buildings and discussed with users.
Multi-WP – High-efficiency multivalent heat pump concepts for the thermal use of external air with geothermal storage
Optimization of multi-WP systems consisting of air-source heat pumps and geothermal storage with regard to increasing flexibility and efficiency from 30 kW for individual buildings as well as neighbourhood solutions and addressing aspects such as PV utilization optimization, mode of operation, utilization conflicts and noise pollution from air-source heat pumps. The project will establish the use of the heat source external air in combination with seasonal storage as a particularly efficient alternative for heating, cooling and hot water supply.
NEB-Tischlerei-Melk - Development of a former joinery site into a multipliable European lighthouse NEB neighbourhood
The former production site of the Fürst Möbel GmbH shall be transformed into a climate-neutral, multifunctional, scalable mixed-use NEB city quarter. This quarter called “Tischlerei Melk” is intended to achieve the highest ambition levels of the NEB compass and to position and represent Austria strongly in this context. As the area is located next to the world-famous Abbey of Melk, the project has the potential to become an internationally known best-practice solution.
