„Energy in minds!“

– an EU project from the CONCERTO initiative in the 6th framework program

klima:aktiv haus

“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.

Thermography and consulting service

Die Thermografie- und Beratungsaktion des Landes Steiermark, initiiert von der Abteilung Wohnbauförderung A 15 unterstützt GebäudebesitzerInnen bei der praxisnahen Sanierung von Gebäuden. Die Koordination der Aktion liegt bei der Grazer Energieagentur.

ökosan – modernisation-initiative East Styria

Dramatically increasing energy prices and the future EU building directive, which require “energy certificates”, make it obvious: an energetic modernisation of existing buildings is a reasonable and necessary investment in the future. For a broad implementation, there is a need of new instruments, for example a combination of comprehensive information and consultancy as well as ecologically oriented public support.

Consultation for solar thermal applications

AEE INTEC carries out consultations for solar thermal applications for single and multi-family houses as well as plannings for tiled stove applications in combination with solar thermal systems.

Solar energy – a significant economic factor

The development of the use of solar energy in Austria and Europe since the start of the 1980s as well as the Austrian companies and industries involved in marketing this technology, have been documented in the study “Solar energy – a significant economic factor”.

One of the important goals of this study was the determination of the number of jobs provided in the thermal solar energy sector and the added economic value created by this sector. Furthermore, the predicted effect of achieving the goals given in the European Commission white paper “Energy for the Future: Renewable Sources of Energy”, was investigated in order to better evaluate the economic significance of the use of thermal solar energy.

Further education

AEE INTEC organises excursions, seminars, symposiums and workshops to all topics in our working field.

Solar Thermal Polymer Collectors with Overheating Protection

Bildquelle: Solarnor, N

On the background of increasing costs for the main materials of solar thermal collectors polymeric materials offers a significant cost-reduction potential for all-polymeric flat-plate collectors in the low temperature field of application. However, as the long-term service temperature of cost-efficient plastics is limited for potential applications in solar absorbers an appropriate design including overheating protection is essential. The stagnation behaviour may be controlled by thermotropic layers. Such layers change their light transmission behaviour depending on the temperature. Development objectives for such layers were calculated by theoretical modelling.

Cooling retrofit concepts for offices and administrative buildings – COOLSAN

The operation of ten thousand Austrian office and administrative buildings ensures an enormous annual consumption of energy, where climatisation plays a central role. The cooling in office and administrative buildings in the European Union show a demand of 193 PJ, which is a crude oil equivalent of 4,608 million tons (EU, 2000)…
