Living Lab Vorarlberg

The methodology of living labs centers the requirements of the user into the development process. The original approach of the MIT should be adapted to the sustainable discrete production in the region of Vorarlberg as a living lab.

Living and Working in the Moosburg, the "community of education"

The design aims not only at creating comfortable living spaces and practical work environments, but at connecting these realms, thus providing a holistically attractive “living space”. A pilot project will be built on an appropriate site in the very core of Moosburg, neighbouring both the village square and the educational campus.

Living in the "Sustainable Building of Tomorrow" - Book Publication on User Experiences and Socio-Economic Aspects of Sustainable Buildings

The book will give an introduction and a systematic overview of socio-economic research performed in the programme 'Building of Tomorrow' and will present instruments to improve user acceptance and motivation.

Living lab INNERGY (Tyrol): Transformation of heat and energy supply in Tyrol

The goal of transforming heat and energy supply is to be accelerated by the submitted initial project INNERGY. It consists of an innovation laboratory and a coordinated lead project.

Living lab Murau: Real-world laboratory of the energy transition for inner-Alpine regions

The # Reallbor Murau uses a cooperative approach to promote the Murau region as a 100% renewable regional system power plant. The aim is to create the highest possible degree of utilisation of renewable energy in the region itself and at the same time to export surplus energy in line with demand.

Living lab WEIZplus (Weiz)

The WEIZplus region is committed to the climate-neutral transformation of its energy system through a regionally supported energy cooperative that develops, finances and implements projects. The EnergieRaumLabor innovation lab promotes this transition through supporting measures and serves as a real-world test bed with great transfer potential for Austria. The flagship project “Fossilfree-4Industry” uses five model solutions to demonstrate how industry and commercial enterprises can phase out fossil fuels.

Living lab Waldviertel: 100% renewable energy

“We help people shape their (energy) future”. The living lab 100% RES Waldviertel has set itself the goal of developing solutions to supply the Waldviertel with 100% renewable energy sources and to become climate-neutral by 2035. To achieve this, the results developed in the EneuerbaresWald4tel flagship project are being put into practice by the 100% RES Waldviertel innovation lab.

Living lab cells4.energy (Burgenland): Regional energy cells as multi-energy living labs for a rapid system transition

The project objective of the initial project, which is to be achieved as part of this overall concept, is the development and implementation of a regional energy cell concept that is capable of ensuring a secure and reliable energy supply based on 100% renewables across all sectors as a core component of the future energy system.

Living-city Joint-space-potential Salzburg

Exemplary transformation of a traffic abused open urban structure. The target was to develop a model through supplementary housing as well as social measures and measures for the surrounding.

LivingMODELofTomorrow

Development of transparent, technical and economic models for medium and high volume residential buildings, with special focus on the non-profit sector. Topics such as generation living, teleworking as well as smart homes are developed in an integrated model, for dense structures as well as pavillons and townhouses. All models follow the three pillars of sustainability.

Long-term scenarios of the austrian electricity system

Economic analyses and scenarios of the evolution of the Austrian electricity supply system until 2050 in consideration of various technology options in order to provide energy services optimally from society's point of view.

LooPi - the autonomous unisex plant-based urinal for public spaces

Application of the prototype in the operational environment for a period of 20 months. Technical monitoring thoughout the cycle of seasons, user interviews concerning satisfaction, evaluation of the potential use of LooPi material streams as soil conditioner for organic farming. Results serve the development towards market maturity.

Low Tech - High Effect! An overview of sustainable low-tech buildings: realized best practice examples, innovative approaches, principles and systematic solutions

In this study approaches of low-tech buildings were examined and particularly innovative and representative concepts were documented in detail. The aim was to elaborate the current state of the art and the existing know how and knowledge on the basis of realized examples as well as to show potential for further development.

LowEnergyBuildingServices - Highly efficient presence detectors and end user technologies

Highly energy efficient presence detectors, control systems for sun shades etc. are de facto not available on the market. Regarding plus-energy office buildings, the minimisation of the power consumption of these components is a central criterion to achieve the "plus" part in terms of the energy of the building. A highly energy efficient presence detector was successfully sketched in this project, which undercuts the intended standby consumption of 0,05 W.

M-DAB - Digitise, analyse and sustainably manage the city's material resources

The research project investigates how digital technologies can support us in determining the existing and future material resources in construction qualitatively (building materials and their recycling) and quantitatively (quantities of building materials).

M-DAB2: Material intensity of inner development - resource assessment and localization of urban development potentials

For the first time, the material intensity of inner development (in terms of material quantities) for different design variants was considered in the evaluation of inner development potentials. A set of methods for the holistic evaluation of potential areas and different development variants and scenarios for resource-saving inner development was created.

MADOKLI - Mannersdorf climate fit! Using local resources to combat and adapt to climate change for a climate-neutral neighbourhood

Development of a climate-neutral neighbourhood by integrating previously unused heat sources and sinks, such as the underground Mühlbach stream, to supply municipal buildings, to establish use-oriented water management and to develop solutions for climate-friendly outdoor spaces in the centre of Mannersdorf am Leithagebirge.

Mass redistributions from GRACE-FO using Laser Interferometry and Microwave ranging based on tailored data processing

MAHMAMT – Monitoring und Analyse von Schwermaschinen mittels berührungsloser Messverfahren und -technologien

MALware cOmmunication in cRitical Infrastructures (MALORI)

Encryption in communications networks is a positive trend, which, however, implies risks whenever malicious software (malware) can misuse encryption to rapidly propagate and coordinate attacks. The project MALORI investigates possibilities of hidden communication in critical infrastructures as well as solutions for their detection and prevention.
