BATTMON - Increasing the usable charging capacity, service life and safety of battery storage systems in urban areas

The aim of BATTMON is to develop an improved method of determining the condition of battery storage systems for applications in buildings and neighborhoods. To this end, area-based foil sensors are being developed for the spatially resolved measurement of temperature and pressure. This data will be used to estimate the state of charge and also the state of health more accurately and to detect cell damage at an early stage in order to reduce the risk of fire and explosion.

BIGMODERN - Sustainable refurbishment standards of federal buildings constructed between 1950 and 1980

The project aims at developing sustainability and climate protection criteria for the refurbishment of federal buildings of the postwar period. These criteria will be tested for their practical suitability within the framework of demonstration projects. Subsequently, these criteria will be defined as fundamental guiding principles in the planning and building processes for all future BIG retrofit projects.

BIM.sustAIn - Artificial Intelligence to enhance sustainability in BIM projects

The construction sector faces growing challenges in meeting sustainability require­ments, particularly during early project phases where key decisions on materials, construction methods, and energy concepts are made. This project aims to leverage AI and BIM to optimize sustainability assessments by providing precise CO₂ balance forecasts and material suggestions. The innovative approach reduces manual effort and supports the implementation of climate-neutral construction, contributing significantly to Austria’s climate goals.

BIPV-Booster - Game changer for façade-integrated PV systems: Development of proof-free constructions regarding fire protection

The central result of the project will be the development of a catalogue of “proof-free constructions” with regard to fire protection for façade-integrated photovoltaic systems, particularly for the more difficult case of high-rise buildings. These constructions will be defined in the project and tested in fire tests. The fire tests are to be supplemented by electrical and material-related module tests before and after the fire tests.

BISANCE - BIphasic System integrated in the Airframe of a NaCElle

The project intends to test in icing wind tunnel (IWT) one demonstrator of engine air intake integrated in a nacelle and equipped with an innovative biphasic heat transport system for regenerating the energy from the oil of the engine. The objective, by testing the technology in a representative environment, is to reach TRL5. At the end of the project the technology will be able to be further developed towards TRL6 to 9 with the final aim to be transferred to the aeronautic value chain.

BOSS - Building Energy Systems on causal reasoning

The project develops novel Causal AI methods for automated fault detection in buildings. It aims to derive semantic structures from time series data and transparently model cause-effect relationships. This provides the foundation for scalable, explainable FDD solutions to reduce energy consumption and emissions in the building sector.

BTTAB - Broad-based testing of energy-efficient demonstration buildings with thermally activated building components

Buildings with thermal building component activation that have not yet been researched in as many federal states and application categories as possible will be monitored, which will include operating data as well as the experiences of those involved. The aim of this study is to take a general look at the various applications of the thermal building component activation technology and to evaluate and compare the pilot projects with the help of suitable evaluation criteria.

Biokustik - Acoustic panels in circular fibre casting with wood fibres

The consortium, consisting of two company and two research partners, is pursuing the goal of making the wood fibre material, from which normally hardboards are made in the so-called wet process without the addition of binders, suitable for processing in the circular fibre casting technology, and to design an acoustic panel for improved room acoustics using the developed fibre material and the fibre moulding process. The new acoustic panel can be recycled and reused to make new fibre-moulded parts and has the potential to replace common acoustic panels made from environmentally harmful materials.

BitKOIN - CO2-reduced binding agent through thermochemical conversion of mineral wool waste combinations

In the BitKOIN project, conceptual, experimental and model research activities are conducted in order to develop a substitute material for ground-granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). First, mineral wool waste and other mineral residues, which are required as additives to achieve the desired chemistry, are sampled representatively. The materials are then characterized chemically, mineralogically and physically and are additionally classified according to waste regulations. By thermochemical conditioning of the mineral wool waste, combined with the other waste materials, the "Huettensand 2.0" (GGBS 2.0) is developed. The project aims to develop the "Huettensand 2.0" , a durable GGBS substitute.
