Die Broschüre behandelt das Thema "Solar Assisted Air Conditioning of Buildings" von Grund auf, über Beispiele und Erfahrungen aus der Praxis, bis hin zum IEA Task 25 Design Tool und einem Ausblick in die Zukunft. English

Experts in the joint work of the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Programme and the IEA Energy Conservation in Buildings and Community Systems, SHC Task 28/ECBCS Annex 38: Sustainable Solar Housing, collaborated to research how better to build very low energy, solar housing. English

Bioenergy is increasingly utilised to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG). Various options exist for trading bioenergy and bioenergy services between countries. English

The goal of the report was to document the solar thermal capacity previously installed in the important markets worldwide, and to ascertain the contribution of solar plants to the supply of energy and the CO2 emissions avoided as a result of operating these plants. English

Detailed study of fuel cells covering a wide range of issues from the basics till to the market potential. The focus is put on stationary fuel cells. English

The paper gives a worldwide overview of the dissemination and major markets for solar heating systems. It also shows the contribution of solar plants to the supply of energy and the CO2 emissions avoided as a result of operating these plants and it gives an overview of recent system developments in the field of solar combisystems for hot water and space heating as well as in the field of large-scale solar heating systems for housing developments.

Development of a building board consisting of a wood fibre board, coated with clay-plaster reinforced by natural plant-fibres (BioFaserLehm) for reinforcing planking of timber-constructions and also for statical not stressed inner wall surfaces.

Contemporary sustainable solutions for residential building will be optimised and realized by interdisciplinary planning orientated to the life-cycle services supporting the quality of life and intelligent use of information and communication technologies.

An analysis of the building and planning processes of multi-storey wooden construction residential and office buildings, taking into consideration the opinions of the professionals involved (planners, building contractors, building executives), then the development, documentation and distribution of ways to optimise these processes, using "Info-Tool" software.

Investigation of factors which support and hinder acceptance: Technical, legal/political and organisational levels considered, focus on innovative solutions with high market potential, thematic focal areas: straw bale building, surface treatment, acoustic and thermal insulation

Testing and optimising post and beam straw bale constructions Testing the thermal insulation (specific heat conductance) and fire resistance of a construction (combustibility grading period), optimisation of building junction elements, development of a mobile testing lab for efficient and effective quality management

The first joint project of the four IG passive house organisations on behalf of the programme line "Building of Tomorrow" - an initiative of the Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology - for the purpose of setting up a detailed network documentation of 80% of all passive houses in Austria.

The main objective is the unprecedented reconstruction of older one-unit buildings to the standards of passive houses. The reconstruction estates are of the numerous older one-unit houses in Austria. The reconstruction will considerably enhance the convenience of living quarters in the old houses.
