The relevant Know-How in the fields of „sustainable building and energy supply” will be gathered. The information will be transferred to the relevant target groups (building promoters, architects, planners, customers). This will be done during workshops, planning assistance and a catalogue of quality criteria. The focus lies on solar thermal systems for multiple-family houses.
In the framework of the Solar Heating and Cooling Programme (SHC) of the International Energy Agency (IEA) a yearly report is prepared, that documents the solar thermal capacity installed in the important markets worldwide.
The goal of the project is the implementation of energetically and economically meaningful energy efficiency concepts in Styian (province of Austria) production companies. The concepts focus on a combination of energy efficiency measures and solar process heat plants.
The goal of the project is to establish the prerequisites for the sustainable use of solar thermal energy in the food and tourism sectors of Nicaragua. To achieve this goal a comprehensive training programme is going to be carried out. Furthermore feasibility studies will be carried out and several demonstration projects are going to be installed in close cooperation of AEE INTEC and CPML (National Cleaner Production Centre Nicaragua).
A system for solar cold production is being developed in this project. Parabolic trough collectors are used to generate steam at a temperature level of 150-200°C. The steam then drives a steam jet ejector chiller.

In Task 32 of the International Energy Agency, advanced heat storage concepts for solar and low energy buildings are being developed. These storage concepts should allow to reach a solar fraction of more than 50 % for single-family houses with a high energy density and low costs.
Development of practicable energy services for the summer utilization of district heating systems with reference to existing technologies to improve the efficiency and potentialities for the integration of renewable energy.
ROSH stands for retrofitting of social housing and was an European project for developing and marketing integrated concepts for energy efficient and sustainable retrofitting of social housing funded by Intelligent Energy Europe. The project was implemented from January 2006 to June 2008 by twelve partner organisations from Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Ireland, Italy and Poland.

“Klima:aktiv haus” is an Austrian program to promote ecological low and passive energy buildings within the framework of an “climate protection” initiative of the Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management. The target markets are multi-storey residential buildings as well as single-family houses, with the emphasis on prefabricated buildings. The network “climate active new buildings” started in July 2005 and will run for 4 years.
