The development and close integration of an actors-, project-, data-, and knowledge-hub enables the piloting and evaluation of innovative, transferable solutions for integrated neighborhood development.
RE-FORM earth - Earth Building for Building Sector Transformation
In order to promote the use of earth, the RE-FORM earth project is creating a planning basis for the construction of structures and buildings containing earth. In order to counter uncertainties regarding the health effects of earth building materials, a comprehensive program is being carried out to investigate radiation exposure and potential pollutants in earth. By erecting a temperature-controlled rammed earth wall in a test room with subsequent measurements, the aim is to determine the extent to which the material can contribute to healthy indoor air due to its moisture-regulating properties and help to balance out energy peaks.
RE:STOCK INDUSTRY - Digital framework for the circular reuse of existing structures for vertical production
RE:STOCK INDUSTRY is developing AI-based Scan-to-FEM methods, vertical 3D production concepts, and an interactive AR application for precise capturing, modelling, and analysis of industrial buildings' load-bearing structures. The aim is to determine the potential of the structure for reuse, modernization, and vertical expansion, considering aspects of circular economy.
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".
REGOreal - 100% Renewable Energy Region: Local Energy Common Good Economy in real laboratories for networked energy and mobility cells
In REGOreal, the exploration for a 100% renewable energy region in the area of Retz-Horn-Krems-Tulln (Lower Austria) and Mallnitz (Ktn) is taking place. There are four focus topics: 100 Renewable Energy Communities (REC), 1.000 building renovations, 10.000 energy exporters (in the sense of employees who carry the approach into their private environment) and 100 Mio. km of sustainable mobility with extensive use of IT for the development of local integrated energy systems (IES) to integrate a colorful mix of different actors and objects.
REHSA - Regenerative House for Health
REHSA focuses on the topic of "Demonstration of innovative building technologies and prototypes." The project will develop a groundbreaking, regenerative clinic model that goes far beyond conventional sustainability and combines innovative architecture, circular resource use, intelligent IT and medical technologies, and healing, people-centered environments.
RENO moveup - Mobilisation, Networking, and Practical Implementation for Climate-Neutral, Life-Cycle-Oriented Construction with Impact
RENOmoveup aims to build an active community that drives the transition to a climate-neutral, life cycle-oriented construction sector through strong mobilisation and clearly structured networking and knowledge-sharing formats. To achieve this, key EU directives are translated into practical, accessible formats, concrete implementation strategies are developed, and these are supported by roadmaps, pilot groups, and factsheets.
RENOWAVE.AT - The innovation lab for sustainable, climate-neutral renovation of buildings and districts
RENOWAVE.AT will act as a central contact point for collaboration in innovation projects and provide systematic and early access to as well as promote innovative, scalable renovation concepts and sustainable renovation technologies within real development environments (open innovation principle).
RETRAIN - Training Network Renewable and Energy Efficiency Technologies in Buildings
The project aim on one hand is to evaluate and adapt current trainings in the field of biomass, solar thermal energy, photovoltaic, heat pumps and ventilation and on the other hand to define new potential trainings in case of further demand. This shall be a fundamental basis to prevent the threat of the absence of professionals and to increase the quality of already converted projects.
RIGOR - Towards reproducible, transparent, and valid AI methods for buildings and cities
The RIGOR project investigates the actual added value and scientific reliability of AI-based methods in the context of buildings, districts, and cities. It focuses on reproducibility, transparency, and the objective comparison of modern AI approaches with simple, robust baseline models. The goal is to establish an evidence-based foundation for the responsible use of artificial intelligence in energy- and safety-critical applications in the built environment.
RST Reloaded - Flexibilisation of the urban power supply system by adapting the existing ripple control system
"RST reloaded" utilises existing ripple control technology (RST) to activate flexible loads in a targeted manner to benefit the grid and thus create capacities for more renewable energy in urban electricity grids. The aim is to analyse technical potential and user acceptance in equal measure and validate them in an implementation. The approach is scalable, legally compliant and transferable to other municipal utilities.
Rankweil 2040 - Development of a climate neutrality roadmap for the town of Rankweil
The town of Rankweil is already very active in environmental and climate protection. The development of the Climate Neutrality Plan aims to further strengthen this commitment and develop concrete measures to achieve climate neutrality in Rankweil.
RaumCoop 2.0 - Space Cooperative, a systematic operational model for activating unused or underutilized spaces.
The RaumCoop organizes the sharing of spaces, mobilizes underutilized spaces for non-residential purposes in the ground floor area, and makes them available for temporary use at affordable conditions. The goal of the project is to establish this non-profit organization.
Re-Use: Holzhaus (Re-Use – Timberhouse) - Scenarios of conduction for Repair, Refurbish & Repurpose of prefabricated timber houses
The Re-Use: Holzhaus project deals with the recyclability of prefabricated wooden components, which are generally used for single-family homes and small apartment buildings and have both a long tradition and a diverse manufacturing structure in Austria. The project aims to take significant steps along the entire value chain to make components from the past more attractive as secondary raw materials and to prepare future prefabricated houses for this purpose in the best possible way.
ReAssuRe – risk management for re-use of construction components and building technology by non-destructive on-site testing procedures
Risk assessment and insurability is essential for the re-use of functional components in buildings. In the best case, properties of components can be examined before they are removed from the donor building. ReAssuRe identifies suitable on-site testing procedures and establishes a network for the quality assurance of re-use components.
ReCapture - Rapid Capture and Precise Analysis of the Building Envelope as a Basis for Circular Economy in the Existing Building Stock
The goal of the study is to evaluate a novel sensor- and AI-based technology for automated detection, semantic segmentation, and 3D modeling of building envelopes.
ReNew Lindenplatz - Resolving key transformation conflicts for a climate-resilient redevelopment of the Lindenplatz district in Kapfenberg
The exploratory project ReNew Lindenplatz develops a transferable planning approach for climate-neutral and climate-resilient small and medium-sized cities, using the historic old-town district around Lindenplatz and Hauptplatz in Kapfenberg as a case study. Through interdisciplinary analyses, participatory processes and scenario-based development of alternatives, an integrated transformation concept for the district will be developed. The results will form the basis for a subsequent demonstration project and provide transferable solution approaches for other small Austrian pioneer cities.
