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.

LoPQ - Local Heat together - Pioneer Quarters for Neighborhood Heat and Colling Supply and Quarter Renovation

LoPQ develops integrated supply and renovation concepts for urban quarters by coupling anergy networks with renewable energy sources. From 20 initial sites, five pilot quarters will be selected for detailed feasibility studies, with one final quarter proposed for a follow-up R&D&I project. The interdisciplinary consortium combines expertise in technology, geosciences, and economics to create inaugural, holistic operating and financing models. Scaling these solutions addresses an investment volume of €1.9 billion and a CO2 reduction potential of approximately 25,600 t per year.

Low Tech - High Effect! An overview of sustainable low-tech buildings: realized best practice examples, innovative approaches, principles and systematic solutions

In this study approaches of low-tech buildings were examined and particularly innovative and representative concepts were documented in detail. The aim was to elaborate the current state of the art and the existing know how and knowledge on the basis of realized examples as well as to show potential for further development.

LowEnergyBuildingServices - Highly efficient presence detectors and end user technologies

Highly energy efficient presence detectors, control systems for sun shades etc. are de facto not available on the market. Regarding plus-energy office buildings, the minimisation of the power consumption of these components is a central criterion to achieve the "plus" part in terms of the energy of the building. A highly energy efficient presence detector was successfully sketched in this project, which undercuts the intended standby consumption of 0,05 W.

M-DAB2: Material intensity of inner development - resource assessment and localization of urban development potentials

For the first time, the material intensity of inner development (in terms of material quantities) for different design variants was considered in the evaluation of inner development potentials. A set of methods for the holistic evaluation of potential areas and different development variants and scenarios for resource-saving inner development was created.

MOTIVE – Modeling, Optimizing, and technical integration of Vacuum-Glazing-Elements

This project addressed the development of construction details for the implementation of vacuum glazing panels in new windows. In this project such constructions (form of frame, thermal bridges, structural aspects, mounting of glass) were explored via empirical experiments and via simulation. As an outcome, a mock-up was constructed, and the findings were documented in a comprehensive document.
