Flagship project Fossilfree4Industrie – Phase out of fossil gas for the industry
The lead project "Fossilfree4Industry" of the WEIZplus real-laboratory is dedicated to the phase-out of fossil fuels, especially natural gas, by the numerous industrial and commercial enterprises for process and space heating in the vicinity of the urban axis Weiz and Gleisdorf. The project aims to answer the relevant technological questions concerning the consequent substitution of fossil gas in industrial plants and to transfer, realize and scientifically accompany these questions to selected regional locations.
Flagship project INNERGY (Tyrol): Inntalfurche - Implementation examples of the flexibilisation of energy systems
The district heating system in the context of a supply with volatile renewable energies is to be made fit for the future by increasing efficiency and flexibility and integrating prosumers.
Flagship project cells4.energy (Burgenland): Regional energy cells as multi-energy living labs for a rapid system transition
Cells4.energy develops regional model solutions for energy systems designed for wide-scale use across Austria (and Europe), offering high transferability and scalability. At its core is a digital infrastructure that connects different sectors and systems, actively involving users in the process to maximize the share of renewable energy.
FlexHP - AI-supported control models for optimising the flexibility of heat pumps to reduce the load on the electricity grid
Development of a new type of energy management system for heat pumps that enables methods for intelligent heat pump operation and thus maximises flexibility. This requires forecast-based models for control that utilise technologies such as machine learning.
FluccoSan - Circular energy flexibility for resilient, climate-neutral refurbishments
FluccoSan aims to develop innovative and cost-effective refurbishment solutions for the building sector that contribute to achieving the Austrian federal government's climate targets. The focus is on energy-efficient, minimally invasive and socially acceptable measures, so-called “dynamic renovations”. By integrating the circular economy and social science research, these solutions should ensure long-term sustainability and a high level of acceptance among users. Status: ongoing
GIPV-Balcony-Element
Under the basic principle GIPV as "energy source balcony" this project should help covering a part of the electricity needs from renewable energy. By integrating the already preassembled PV elements into the balcony construction, the elements for the final assembly range up to 4 meters. The aim is to win besides private persons also particularly the gastronomy, especially the hotel sector (in tourist regions) as well as the housing sector (e.g. via architects) as customers.
GRAUfürGRÜN-BLAU - Cross-sectoral use of treated greywater for vital urban green spaces and stable groundwater resources
Exploratory project to analyze the potential of using purified grey water from private collection systems for use in public space (irrigation of green infrastructure and infiltration).
GREEN Stone: development of a cement-free concrete with recycled content for applications in landscaping
The Green Stone project aims to develop geopolymer concrete with recycled materials in order to reduce the consumption of non-renewable resources and replace the cement content with alternative binders. The landscaping industry in particular requires lightweight, durable and weather-resistant materials.
Gemma K! - Pilot initiative “Gemeinschaf(f)t Klimaschutz”
In three Styrian climate pioneer cities, citizens are empowered to establish climate protection communities as multipliers in their respective contexts (e.g. associations) and to join others in taking action for the climate.
GeoDatKlim - Geo Data and Satellite Data for Carbon Neutral Cities
The Vienna Geospace Hub innovation lab will help optimize the application of geospatial and satellite data to solve complex urban challenges. The innovation lab serves as a networking platform for administration, science, economy, as well as a development and test environment for innovative use cases.
GeoHub - Sustainable heat management of near-surface geothermal energy in urban environments
Innovative approaches to streamline geothermal projects from planning to operation, ensuring they are climate-neutral, resource-efficient, and economically viable.
GraphSense – Realtime Anomaly Detection in Virtual and Non-Virtual Currency Networks
Insight into Digital Currencies. Virtual currency systems such as Bitcoin are becoming increasingly popular. Austrian researchers are working on algorithmic solutions that should help to understand and detect anomalies in such systems.
Green BIM 2. Green Information Modelling and Operation: Transformation of the Green Sector through digitalisation
With the project "Green BIM 2" the technology leap from the previous project "Green BIM" – namely the use of BIM in the field of building greening – is continued for further application fields of landscape planning and the results are transmitted into working practice.
Green BIM 3 - Tools for Standardised Data Integration of BIM and Digital Twins, Including Ecosystem Services
The project aims to enhance the availability and integration of BIM data, ecological parameters, and other relevant information into the workflows of the green sector. To achieve this, a web-based application with suitable interfaces will be developed. The foundation for this is a detailed requirement specification, which will be established through interviews, workshops, and research, linking the individual components of the application.
Green Market Report Austria Compact - Facts and figures of green roofs and facades industry in Austria
First comprehensive data collection of installed green roof and green facades in Austria and exploration of current challenges and future growth potential für green roof and walls applications involving all stakeholders within the green industries value chain.
Green-TUrbine - Sustainable Manufacturing and Lifecycle Optimization for Pelton Runners through Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing
The Green-TUrbine project investigates the integration of WAAM technology into the lifecycle of Pelton turbines to enhance their sustainability. The principles of "Rethink, Reduce, Reuse" are applied to optimize manufacturing, resource consumption, and the reuse of the runners. A comprehensive LCA will evaluate the ecological and economic impacts.
GreenFDT – Green Façade Digital Twin
In an interdisciplinary framework, the possibilities for optimizing the rear ventilation distance of façade greening elements and their potential impact on indoor and urban climate are being investigated. The precise and comprehensive investigation of these relationships is made possible by the extensive deployment of sensors and measuring tools and furthermore the development and integration of a digital twin in a BIM model.
GreenGEO - Data-based integration of climate change adaptation measures into spatial planning
Green and blue infrastructure (GBI) is a key instrument in the fight against climate change. Nevertheless, deciding where and in what form it should be used most effectively remains a challenge in spatial planning practice. The development of a digital model that links location-specific climate risk data with suitable GBI measure proposals will make this much easier and more objective.
GreisslerPLUS - Local Supply in Rural Areas
Local provision of convenience goods in rural areas is a challenge, especially for elderly and less mobile people. The collaboratively developed ICT platform GreisslerPLUS offers solutions.
