GRISU-EX – Dual use of sprinkler tanks as thermal energy storages

Built once, used twice – this is the slogan of the ACR project GRISU-EX, which investigates how fire-fighting water tanks from sprinkler systems can be integrated into a building’s internal heating and cooling processes as thermal energy storage units.

SaKEM – Renovation solutions for decarbonising the building stock of Austrian KEM municipalities

An initiative for building renovation is important to support the energy transition in KEM municipalities – with solutions and measures for rapid and high-quality renovations.

DATAWiSE – Intelligent and Sustainable Building Management powered by Cross-Sectoral
Lifecycle

DATAWiSE will develop and test building management tools, leveraging cross-sectoral lifecycle data on the basis of an open, secure, interoperable, and scalable framework.

Municipal Heat Planning and Building Renovation Roadmap for Weiz

The project develops a municipal heat plan and a renovation roadmap for public buildings in Weiz, supporting a climate-neutral, affordable and resilient heat supply by 2040.

IEA SHC Task74 – Components for Thermal Energy Storage

International experts collaborate to improve the design of thermal storage components, to better determine the state-of-charge and to optimise the components’ integration in applications.

Reno Tides – Supporting staged massive Net Zero Retrofit with collective buy-in-schemes of insulated prefab façade & roof systems for housing

The EU-funded LIFE project RenoTides addresses the growing economic challenges of energy-efficient renovation of residential buildings. Through intelligent, phased “tidal” renovation programmes, the project supports non-profit housing providers in implementing net-zero renovations in a flexible, coordinated and long-term plannable manner.

Inter-municipal spatial energy planning WEIZplus

The project develops an integrated inter-municipal spatial energy planning approach for a large cooperation of municipalities in Eastern Styria. Based on the Styrian Heat Atlas and a GIS-based web service, harmonised energy analyses, zonings and strategies are created to support the coordinated and climate-friendly transformation of local and regional energy systems.

IEA DHC Annex TS7: Ein systemischer Ansatz für hochintegrierte industrielle und thermische Energiesysteme

Annex 7 shows how industrial processes and heating and cooling networks are linked to utilize waste heat, create synergies, and accelerate decarbonization through new concepts.

InSite – Monitoring and evaluation of innovative demonstration buildings

InSite combines experience from funded demo projects, ensures uniform data collection and scientific monitoring of ten selected objects, enables their comparison using modern KPIs and makes the results available via an open web platform.

Hi CBest – IEA ES Task 44 PtH and Heat-integrated Carnot Batteries for Zero-Carbon Heat & Power supply

To decarbonize industry and the interconnected heat and electricity grids, effective sector-coupling storage solutions are required. Power-to-heat (-to-power) systems are one way to address this.
