All Projects

SolarOpt – Digital innovation for high-performance utility-scale solar thermal projects

SolarOpt develops an open digital twin for large solar thermal plants. It automates performance assessment, forecasting, fault detection and optimisation to reduce operating costs, risks and effort.

SOPHIE – Spektrum-optimierte Photochemie zur Erweiterung von PVT bzw. PV-PEC Systemen für intelligente Energieproduktion

The SOPHIE project is working on the development of a multi-product collector. This uses spectral splitting to convert sunlight into fuel, electricity, and heat in parallel.

GEO.MAT – Efficiency increase of geothermal energy systems with heat pumps

GEO.MAT demonstrates at two Austrian thermal spas how deep geothermal energy and 30°C splashing water can be upgraded with heat pumps and smart energy management—towards a CO₂-neutral, gas-free spa

CarbonZero4IMS – Energiewende im Quartier – CO2-freie Versorgung durch NutzerInnen-Integration und sektorenübergreifende Optimierung

In the Inge Morath settlement in Graz, central gas boilers and decentralized individual boilers are to be replaced by an anergy network with heat pumps. The aim is renewable heat, cooling and an optimized, MPC-controlled energy system.

MARGRET Bioshade – Quantification of Shading and Cooling Performance Provided by Building-Integrated Greening

MARGRET Bioshade establishes robust and standardisable performance indicators for the energetic and hydrological effects of green roofs and green façades—particularly when used as bioshading in front of window surfaces. The results are intended to enable the integration of green infrastructure into energy performance certificates, technical guidelines, and simulation models, providing a solid data basis for climate-resilient building concepts.

SaCANGO – Satellite based Canopy and Green Observation System

SaCANGO is developing an AI-supported, satellite-based monitoring solution for comprehensive recording of urban green spaces and tree canopy cover in the context of the EU Restoration Regulation.

IEA EBC TCP ANNEX 91 OPEN BIM FOR ENERGY-EFFICIENT BUILDINGS

IEA EBC Annex 91 optimises data exchange for energy-efficient buildings. Open BIM enables consistent energy analyses and automation throughout the entire life cycle.

INDHEAP – Optimal Solar Systems for Industrial Heat and Power

The industry needs solutions for thermal energy systems above 160 °C. The combination of solar thermal energy, photovoltaics and rock storage is being investigated in the INDHEAP project.

CEPA Connect – Connecting Energy Flexible Approaches in Progressive Adaptive Circular Renovation

CEPA-Connect develops and demonstrates a circular, energy-active façade solution for serial renovation, using building component activation to make buildings more efficient, flexible, and climate-neutral.

SeRenoWood – Optimising Serial Renovation with Prefabricated Timber Elements Using Value Management

SeRenoWood develops pre-competitive industry standards for serial renovation using prefabricated timber elements. Value Management is applied to systematically align requirements, costs and functions, enabling technically and economically optimised solutions.
