Reduction of maintenance costs of ventilation systems in plus energy buildings

Maintenance costs for central air ventilation systems are approximately 0,42 Euro/m².a excluding VAT, for decentralized systems 1,16 Euro/m².a excluding VAT. 50% savings in operating costs of apartment passive houses opposed to apartment low-energy buildings [SCH11] can be achieved with maintenance costs of around 0,42 Euro/m².a.

Refrigerating plants in hotel and catering industry

To the frequent uses of refrigerating plants in hotel and catering industry was not paid a lot of attention in the way of energy efficiency so far. We are talking about plug-in cooling units and custom-made cooling equipment. Aim of the project: finding out the manner and amount of refrigeration usage, as well as the estimation of energy savings potential and measures, especially for custom-made cooling equipment.

Refurbishment of a housing complex to passive-house standard, Graz - Dieselweg

Refurbishment of the former "Puch-Siedlung", built as a housing area for employees of the company "Puch", in Graz Liebenau, in the period from the 1950s to 1970s, as an exemplary model for a refurbishment in "passive house standard" with special thoughtfulness to the tenants. "From domestic fuel to solar self sufficiency"

Haus der Zukunft

Refurbishment of an existing villa of the "Gründerzeit" to passive house standard with passive and active solar use

The project shows in an exemplary way how buildings of the time of "Gründerzeit" could be maintained and could offer a better environmental balance including the view of the village and the traffic than a new building. As an example a villa has been converted into a multi-family house within a larger housing project.

Repair initiatives in Europe: innovations, business models, recommendations. Experiences from the PREPARE network

The European Union and many countries in Europe have begun to take individual measures to-wards “increasing the repair rate” here and there. With the help of surveys and interviews, which were carried out with the support of contacts provided by the “PREPARE” network, which has ex-isted for almost 30 years, this work collects information about such measures in other European countries - especially regarding “best practice examples” and “lessons learned” – and analyzes their transferability to Austria.

Resonance - Electric Field Sensors

The analysis of the electric field sensors on board the satellites of the Russian mission Resonance, which will be launched in the next decade, is the focus of this project. The aim of this mission is the investigation of wave-particle interactions and plasma dynamics in the inner magnetosphere of Earth, with the focus on phenomena occurring along the same magnetic field line and within the very same flux tube of the Earth's magnetic field. Amongst a variety of instruments and probes, several low- and high frequency electric and magnetic sensors will be on-board.

RobPerMot - Robot embodied persuasion and motivation for sport, post rehabilitation and work routines

While collaborative robot systems are already successfully used in industrial manufacturing, the social qualities of human-robot interaction in private life, sports or at work are not yet widely exploited. The RobPerMot project aims to investigate a potential robot-based implementation of persuasion and coaching strategies (e.g., reward systems) in various contexts.
