SAGE - scalable multi-agent architectures for facility management and energy efficiency

The SAGE project is developing scalable multi-agent architectures that enable buildings to recognize operational anomalies autonomously and react dynamically to environmental changes. The integration of multi-agent architectures in combination with Large Language Models (LLMs) and the development of a human-in-the-loop approach will optimize the collaboration between humans and machines. These solutions should significantly reduce the energy consumption of buildings and increase user-friendliness.

SAVE circular approaches for green buildings!

The project demonstrates the cycle and use of synergies in an ARWAG residential building from the extraction of valuable raw materials through a urine treatment plant (fertilizer) using energy recovery measures (heat recovery, heat pump, photovoltaics) to the use of the fertilizer for the generously designed greening measures and the associated effects on the microclimate.

SELF²B - self-aware, self-diagnosing buildings, HVAC, and PV systems for the next generation of energy efficient operations

SELF²B develops and demonstrates an AI-based, self-learning, and self-diagnosing fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) solution for HVAC and PV systems in two buildings in Vienna. The innovation surpasses the current state of the art by combining semantic data, ontologies, and machine learning. The goal is to achieve energy savings and efficiency improvements in building operations and to make the technology widely applicable.

SLEEVE – Packaging and process optimisation of plastic packaging with sleeves

Development and design of selected and recyclable plastic packaging with sleeves that can be sorted and processed into high-quality recyclates. All the factors along the value chain are considered (design, consumer behaviour, sorting, recycling) in order to optimise the product cycle in the best possible way and maximise recyclate quantities and qualities.

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.

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.
