The adaptation of the energy consumption of buildings and building clusters to the energy generation from renewable energy sources is vital for the future energy system. The main target of the Annex 67 is to investigate and characterize this future role of the “energy-flexibility” of buildings, to capture potentials and to offer control strategies.
Development of a discussion paper for the food industry which serves as basis for the R&D roadmap “energy efficiency in the textile and food industry”.
The development of a branch specific discussion paper for the food industry which examines the R&D demand for increasing the energy efficiency in the production.
IntegrCiTy project’s overall aim is to foster energy networks interoperability either in existing or future urban infrastructures by developing a dedicated decision-support tool, that shall be applied and tested/validated in three Swiss and Swedish cities.
In the frame of the project MD-Gold the membrane distillation (MD) will be adapted and further developed in the use of recovery of palladium and gold in the printed circuit board industry (PCB). On the base of laboratory tests a suitable membrane module will be developed and operating parameters will be optimized. There on, the potential of the membrane distillation will be demonstrated in the printed circuit board industry and a focus on the decrease of thermal energy demand as well as based on lower process temperatures the potential for solar thermal integration and available waste heat will be laid under economic terms. The result of the project is an optimized MD-plant on a laboratory scale with suitable membrane modules and operating parameters, on this basis a scale-up concept for a larger unit will prepared.
Solar Automotive has the aim to establish solar process heat in the automotive and supplier industry.
In addition to target group analyzes and potential analyzes a planning tool and simulation tool as well as general integration concepts will be developed and the cooperation between the solar thermal and the automotive and supplier industry will strengthen.
An easily applicable planning and evaluation tool CityCalc is developed that can assess the energy performance of urban planning projects in early design stages with low input and evaluation effort.
The project MeQuSo deals with planning reliability and quality assessment of large solar thermal plants. Major building blocks are the development of pratical methods to prove the power output and solar yield as well as in-situ tests for collector arrays.
ECC – EnergyCityConcepts – Development of a methodology and concept for the implementation of sustainable energy systems in cities by the example of Gleisdorf and Salzburg.
Based on two concrete model regions (small city Gleisdorf and urban city quarter Salzburg-Schallmoos) new methodical approaches (interdisciplinary urban and regional energy planning, modeling and simulation) will be developed and tested.
In this project one comprehensive concept for decentralized ventilation, heating and hot water-supply will be elaborated for the renovation of flats in residential buildings.
AEE INTEC coordinates the development of a seasonal thermochemical storage system on salt hydrate basis in the H2020 project CREATE (Compact REtrofit Advanced Thermal Energy storage)
The CREATE project is a research project funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 programme. The consortium consists of eleven partners from eight different European countries and it is led by AEE INTEC. The main aim is to develop and demonstrate a heat battery, i.e. an advanced thermal storage system based on Thermo-Chemical Materials (TCMs), that enables economically affordable, compact and loss-free storage of heat in existing buildings. In this manner, the CREATE system will be able to store surplus of heat from summer to winter.
