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.

Wood.TAB - Investigation of thermally activatable timber components incorporating phase‑change materials for heating and cooling

Wood.TAB develops thermally activatable timber components with biogenic phase‑change materials for efficient heat and cold storage. The technology uses the building mass as a thermal storage system, reduces peak loads, and improves indoor comfort.

Internationale Energieagentur (IEA)

Working Party on Energy Technologies for the Built Environment and Transport (WPBT)

The Working Party on Energy Technologies for the Built Environment and Transport (WPBT) promotes the development and deployment of energy technologies in the building and transport sectors and ensures that these technologies contribute to global and national policy objectives.

Internationale Energieagentur (IEA)

Working Party on Industry (WPI)

The Working Party on Industry (WPI) is the advisory body to the Committee on Energy Research and Technology (CERT) and the IEA Secretariat on industrial matters. The Working Party aims to ensure that energy-related technologies for (heavy) industry contribute effectively to achieving the national and collective energy and climate policy objectives of IEA member countries.

Wärmezukunft Steyr - Innovative Models for Climate-Neutral Heat Supply in Steyr

The project aims to establish the foundation for a climate-neutral, socially inclusive, and economically viable heating and cooling system in a pioneer city. It combines technical planning with governance approaches and the development of business and operator models. A special focus is placed on anergy networks, which - despite high upfront investments - offer strong potential for low-temperature, dual-purpose heating and cooling supply.
