ThermEcoFlow: Innovative technologies and methods for indoor air comfort and energy optimisation in thermal spa buildings
ThermEcoFlow aims to optimize the energy consumption of thermal spas facilities through improved simulation models and AI-supported control systems. By precisely modelling airflow, humidity loads, and evaporation, combined with AI-driven regulation, the project seeks to reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions in the long term while enhancing indoor comfort for visitors.
Thermal detection of cracks on glowing wire during the process of rolling with regard to reduction of rejections
Developing a non-destructive and fully automated testing to detect surface cracks and laps in rolled wires during the production at temperature values of 800-1000°C and at a material speed of 30-40 m/s, with regard to reduction of rejections.
To Renovate with Common Sense - Building of Tomorrow - A Film Project
A professional documentary film and detailed construction-documentation upon the subject of innovative thermal renovation of matured apartment houses and tenement blocks in Austria.
Tulln Climate Neutral City 2040 (Tulln2040)
The core of the project is the development of a systemic strategy at a city-wide level that shows how the city of Tulln will achieve climate neutrality by 2040.
Twin2Share - Digital twins for energy optimization in energy communities (ECs)
Digital twins to support energy communities over their life cycle. The project focuses on optimizing energy efficiency and costs, dynamic load management and the integration of users to promote sustainable energy use and the stabilization of the electricity grid.
TwinLight - BIM-based implementation of daylight and artificial lighting controls
A merging of trade-specific systems in an integral context, a faster applicability of new ICT-technologies, an automation of on-site commissioning of control systems and a mapping of energy data in the digital twin are to be made possible by means of transferring the control logic into the digital building model and via an open bidirectional system architecture (BIM2Control and Control2BIM).
UPTextIL - Upcycling cellulose from used textiles into high-strength filaments using spinning technology in ionic liquids
The aim of the project is to develop a process for spinning cellulose from used textiles using ionic liquids, to analyze potential impurities in this recycling material stream, and to develop strategies for their removal or avoidance during the spinning process. The project aims to lay the foundations for closing the material cycle of cellulose from used textiles.
Update Prunerstraße - Demonstrative building Prunerstraße 5: climate-neutral transformation of a space programme and an existing building
Together with the Bundesimmobiliengesellschaft (BIG), the University of Art Linz (KUL) aims to develop Prunerstraße 5 into a landmark project that meets the socially relevant demands of a university and at the same time sets progressive standards in the requirements determination, transformation, and sustainable development of existing buildings.
Urban Sky - Satellite-based planning and analysis applications for climate-neutral and resilient cities
The project investigates how satellite data can support cities and municipalities (e.g. urban development, spatial energy planning, mobility transition). Based on demand and potential analyses, service concepts will be derived that integrate existing data and tools with satellite applications. The results will be presented in a study and a Space4Cities implementation roadmap.
Urban consolidation Lehen
The key project "Stadtumbau Lehen" ("urban consolidation Lehen") coordinates several projects at the urban district of Lehen, with the purpose of the raise in energy efficiency and safekeeping of a sustainable development. Four builder (ten teams of architects), two scientifically institutions, the town of Salzburg and two attended departments of the land are working together.
Urban consolidation Lehen - Subproject 2: Development - intelligent E-Monitoring
In the oppositional subproject 2 technical and organisational requirements for the transformation of the innovative Smart Metering-concept will be developed. Through the connection of the application of Smart Metering with an active integration of the inhabitants over mutual communication the concept, which is planned for the key project Urban Consolidation Lehen stands out of other comparable antedated activities.
User-Centred Energy Systems (UsersTCP)
The UsersTCP provides evidence from socio-technical research on the design, social acceptance and usability of clean energy technologies. Users play a central role within energy systems. The findings will support political decisions for a clean, efficient and safe energy system.
V-Form – Manufacturing unreinforced vaulted concrete floors with variable pneumatic formworks
V-Form is working on the development of vaulted concrete floors in terms of structural design and building physics, as well as on a new formwork system. Thanks to the efficient shell construction, around 70% CO2eq-emissions can be saved compared to reinforced concrete flat slabs. The reusable and variable pneumatic formwork system aims to enable the economical production of the double-curved concrete shells.
VR4UrbanDev - Virtual Reality as an innovative, digital tool for the integrative urban development of the future
Virtual reality (VR) has the potential to make complex issues more quickly comprehensible and directly tangible. In the VR4UrbanDev project, we are using this potential for energy planning processes for buildings and urban districts. On the basis of test areas, we develop methods for importing and visualising energy-related real-time data and simulation data in the VR environment.
Vertical Farm Aspern - Democratization of vertical farming under consideration of parameters of circular economy
Planning, construction and optimization of a vertical farm for urban food production, involving the users in the operational management. The building and the operator concept represent the entire food value chain, from planting to selling.
Villach KlimaFit - Municipal Transformation Process to Achieve Climate Neutrality in Villach
The strategic framework for achieving climate neutrality has been decided in Villach and the city itself can already point to good results in its own sphere of action (buildings, photovoltaics). However, the lack of own energy and mobility operations, the type and scope of construction/investment projects (third-party projects) and the limited scope for action in strategic development topics (little land owned by the city of Villach) require the adaptation (transformation) of municipal instruments in order to implement climate neutrality holistically.
Vision4Voitsberg - Climate neutrality plan 2040 for the municipality of Voitsberg
Voitsberg aims to support the achievement of national climate goals by developing a tailored roadmap that builds on existing projects and targets climate neutrality by 2040. This roadmap will be created in close collaboration with the city administration, key interest groups, and decision-makers from politics and business.
Vitality City - Holistic energy strategies for cities in transition
Energy simulation of any size city (municipalities) based on the data from laser scanning and satellite analysis (Geodata) to obtain dynamical energy demands and available energy resources.
WISE - Extension of the safety concept for heat pumps with flammable refrigerants for gas boiler replacement
In the project "WISE", safety concepts are being developed for the event of a leak in which flammable refrigerant escapes from the refrigeration circuit. These concepts aim to ensure a higher level of safety for residential installations than is currently required by the safety standard.
Wastewater cycle. Cascadic recycling of wastewater and organic residue streams in buildings.
Basic research is being conducted for a sustainable cycle-oriented system for the building-integrated recycling of wastewater and food waste. This includes nutrient recovery for a sustainable circulation system (production of plant fertiliser and biochar), electricity production to meet the demand (up to 15 %) of plus-energy buildings, as well as water recovery for irrigation of the building's own or urban greenery and for summer cooling.
