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.

IEA SHC Task 73 – PVT Heating systems

Austria contributes to IEA SHC Task 73 to advance and market integrate PVT heating systems and provides standards, digital tools and monitoring data to accelerate building decarbonization.

SolarHybrid – Scalable Optimization for Large-scale Advanced Renewable-Hybrid Integrated Devices

SolarHybrid develops affordable, large-scale PVT solutions for urban applications. In future, a digital twin will facilitate the further development of components and enable performance assessment of PVT systems.

ReBuildStock – Portfolio Management for the Decarbonization of Large Residential Building Stocks

A portfolio-management method to support the decision-making processes of owners of large residential building stocks in developing strategies for the rapid and socially responsible decarbonization of their properties.

Scientific accompanying research for the Climate and Energy Fund

The scientific support research for the funding programs “Solar Thermal Energy – Large-Scale Solar Systems”, “Large-Scale Heat Storage”, and “Innovative Climate-Neutral Process Heat and Cooling for Businesses” of the Climate and Energy Fund includes advising applicants, reviewing the system design or hydraulic concept, developing monitoring concepts, 1–2 years of data analysis, optimization, and feedback to applicants and the funding agency.

TarifFlex – Price Based Demand Side Management for District Heating Grids

TarifFlex develops a software tool for calculating dynamic heat prices to better align heat demand and supply and improve the integration of renewable energy in district heating systems.
