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.

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.

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.

WattsOK? Robotics and AI Enabled Reuse of PV

WattsOK? optimizes reuse/recycle decisions for used photovoltaic (PV) modules via automation, incl. optical inspection-based decision-AI, electrical measurements, and robotic PV connector exchange for reuse. With this, the project addresses the expected increase in used PV modules. The project aims to enhance efficiency and effectiveness of reuse/recycling decision processes, extending the lifetime of modules through reuse, reducing waste, and promoting a circular economy within the photovoltaic sector.

Wiener Neustadt Climate neutral

Wiener Neustadt as a pioneering city, is making a conscious and ambitious transition towards climate neutrality. This complex transformation requires different measures. The measures shall both be developed in-house or developed by others and transferred to Wiener Neustadt. The effect of the entire bundle of measures from the different areas (e.g. governance, implementation districts, learning environment or energy, mobility, buildings, etc.) is subject to fact-based climate monitoring.

Wood Plastic Composites - New property profile by refiner fibres

The mechanical properties and thus the application area of wood plastic composites with a wood content > 60 % shall be explicit increased by means of long wood fibres. The realization of a technological direct feeding system in extrusion process will enable an innovation jump of this wood like material.

ZEBdemo - Development and demonstration of a scalable zero emission building for the realization of climate-neutral cities

The ZEBdemo project is developing and demonstrating a scalable zero-emission building that drastically reduces CO2 equivalent emissions during the construction phase by using building materials such as clay bricks and straw insulation. At the same time, operational emissions are minimized through an intelligent, data-driven energy management system.
