SPOT – Smart Parking Space Optimization Tool
SPOT develops a data-driven tool for demand-oriented optimization of parking spaces in urban areas to use space more efficiently and promote climate neutrality. The tool supports cities in reducing parking areas and creating green spaces by calculating evidence-based parking space ratios.
STPionier - St. Pölten: From industrial city to climate pioneer city
Until the year 2022, the city of St. Pölten did not have a strategy or concept that dealt decisively with the climate crisis. One of the reasons for this was the lack of a responsible department in the St. Pölten administration. With the pioneer city process, a staff unit has now been established that takes on climate agendas and introduces and promotes them in municipal processes and projects.
SUDICA - Sustainable Digitalization as a Challenge for City Administrations
The project investigates the tension between digitization and sustainability in city administrations, particularly focusing on the largely unaddressed, negative global feedback effects of digital technologies. It aims to systematize these interactions, develop an integrative understanding, and lay the groundwork for a more sustainable use of digitization in municipal decisions.
SYSPEQ - Systemische Lösung zum Betrieb von Plusenergiequartieren
Full-scale planning concepts for positive energy districts (PEDs) and their operation as energy communities (ECs). The focus is on the implementation in the existing building stock, especially in the area of social/non-profit housing. Financing options for renewable generation units, planning and operation of a PED (especially as an EC), marketing opportunities for surplus electricity and the development of an information and networking platform are part of this project. A special highlight is the practical proof-of-concept in Fuchsenloch, which is a social housing quarter of Sozialbau.
Sani60ies - Demonstration of minimally invasive thermal and energetic refurbishment of classic 1950s and 1960s apartment buildings
System development of a façade-integrated building component activation for "warm" refurbishments with high transfer potential to buildings of classic apartment complexes from the 1950s and 1960s. The system is being tested and further developed based on three building projects and demonstrated through broad application (over 200 flats).
SeiersbergPirka2040 - #wirsindzukunft: Roadmap for a climate-neutral future in Seiersberg-Pirka
Seiersberg-Pirka is the second largest municipality in the district of Graz-Umgebung and was created in the course of the Styrian municipal reform in 2015 by merging the previously independent municipalities of Seiersberg and Pirka. The municipality is located south-west of the provincial capital Graz and is one of the fastest growing municipalities in Austria.
SlagShot
Investigation and analysis of the possible admixture of EAF slags as cement replacement in shotcrete applications for filling spandrels. In collaboration with circular economy expert Thomas Romm ZT, promising results are being tested for application at WienerLinien construction sites.
Smart & Urban Tree - Exploring integrative possibilities of structures for urban shading
The project "Smart & Urban Tree" explores large-scale artificial structures, which may serve as a supplementary alternative to other greening measures, such as trees and facade greenery, in dense urban contexts, where traditional concepts cannot be applied in a satisfactory manner. Such structures offer a wide-range of to-be integrated functions and can contribute to mitigation of urban heat islands.
SmartCity Baumgarten - Demonstration of an anergy network and implementation of climate-friendly solutions in existing districts
Implementation of a cross-property anergy network for the supply of heating, cooling and electricity in an existing neighbourhood. With this demonstration project, a technical-legal alternative for areas outside of district heating supply is developed, which makes it possible for neighbourhoods to join together to use renewable energies in common.
Sol4City - Integrated solar supply concepts for climate-neutral buildings for the "city of the future"
Intelligent technology coupling to achieve high solar coverage of the buildings (multi-storey residential building) heat and electricity demand. At the end of the project, integrated energy supply concepts for multi-storey residential buildings based on high network interaction and flexibility potential, maximum surface efficiency of conversion technologies on site and high economic competitiveness are available for the broad applicability in the "City of the Future".
Sophokles - Solar shading lamellas with photovoltaic coating for climate-neutral, energy-efficient structures
Development of lightweight, strip-like photovoltaic modules that combine shading and emission-free power generation in one monolithic component. The size and module voltage of the photovoltaic blinds can be individually adapted to the conditions of the building. The core of the innovation is an interconnection concept for thin-film solar cells, with which the film-like photovoltaic material can be interconnected in series and in parallel as required.
Stadtwandel - sustainable transformation and climate change adaptation of town and city centers
Stadtwandel aims to initiate sustainable transformation in small cities and municipalities.
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.
Steyr 2040 climate neutrality roadmap - a city positions itself
The project will develop a climate neutrality roadmap for the city of Steyr on the basis of an energy and climate balance sheet to be drawn up.
StraTex ‐ Sorting and processing strategies for used textiles to produce recyclable fractions
In StraTex, suitable, economically viable and holistic strategies for the collection, processing and automated sorting of mixed non‐reusable textiles are being developed and experimentally implemented in order to increase the proportion of marketable fractions for high‐quality material recycling (preferably fibre2fibre).
SuperQ3 – Neighborhood demonstration of a superblock in the Dreiheiligen district, Innsbruck
SuperQ3 is the first scientifically supported demonstration of the superblock concept in Innsbruck as a model for climate-neutral neighborhood development. The project combines traffic calming, improved environmental and residential quality, and participatory transformation in the district of Dreiheiligen. It will deliver transferable urban modules, practical guidelines, and evidence-based findings for further neighborhoods.
Sustainable construction of objects as a product service
Project of a Carinthian plant construction and manufacturing company. They plan to establish a new business division "sustainable construction of premises". This division shall offer a service package for housing, stores, and industrial production sites. This service shall be developed using the approach of RISP.
SüdSan - Socially acceptable, climate-compatible refurbishment of two multi-family-houses as a model for the refurbishment of the Südtiroler-Siedlung Bludenz
Planning, energetic-economic optimisation, construction and monitoring of the costs, comfort and energetic performance of two socially acceptable and climate-target-compatible refurbished smaller apartment buildings in the Südtiroler-Siedlung Bludenz.
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.
