SRI Demo – Demonstration of intelligent building technologies and support of the Austrian SRI test phase
On the basis of the “Clean Energy for All Europeans” package of measures from 2016 and the “European Green Deal” in the building sector, the European Commission (EC) is pushing for the integration of intelligent technologies with a high proportion of renewable energies and energy efficiency. The assessment of the “smart readiness” of a building […]
Machbarkeitsstudie Lumenion – Stahlspeicher als flexible Möglichkeit, erneuerbaren Dampf zur Nutzung in einer Brauerei zu erzeugen
In einer Machbarkeitsstudie wurde der Einsatz eines Dampfspeichers für die erneuerbare Dampfversorgung einer neu errichteten Brauerei untersucht. Das Speichersystem enthält einen Stahlkern, der selbst erzeugten Strom oder günstigen Überschussstrom als Wärme speichert, die später von einem gekoppelten Dampferzeuger in Dampf umgewandelt werden kann. Konkret wurde eine jährliche Simulation auf Stundenbasis mit eigener PV-Erzeugung oder Bezug […]
IS2H4C – Hubs for circularity applying industrial symbiosis and cooperative approach to heavy industrialized clusters and surrounding ecosystems
IS2H4C stands for “Sustainable Circular Economy Transition: From Industrial Symbiosis to Hubs for Circularity”. The project, in which 31 partner companies from 9 countries want to develop future models for the circular economy, started in February 2024. The project aims at transforming existing industrial areas, some of which already have established cycles, into hubs of […]
S-GeoHeat – Shallow-Geothermal sourced Low-Temperature District Heating
Decarbonisation requires the integration of renewable energy sources, particularly in the industrial and building sectors, as a significant proportion of CO2 emissions originate from these sectors. The use of geothermal energy as an alternative heat source, combined with feeding excess industrial waste heat into district heating networks, can make a concrete contribution to CO2 reduction […]
Fossil Phase Out – Strategic Planning of heating networks in a holistic way
The guideline incorporates the possibilities of spatial energy planning and outlines planning steps within the context of municipal planning processes regarding heating networks, ranging from design to the implementation plan of the networks. As a pilot implementation, the approach described in the guideline is applied to the city of Gleisdorf and the district heating supply […]
Fossilfree4Industry – Phase out of fossil gas for the industry
A transdisciplinary project team with 29 partners is working under the leadership of AEE INTEC on the “phase-out” of fossil energy supply, and in particular fossil gas, for the numerous industrial companies in the vicinity of the Weiz and Gleisdorf city axis. The flagship project wants to address the current challenges by implementing relevant technological […]
SUPPORT DHC – Supporting a fast implementation of low-grade renewable energy and waste heat for district heating and cooling
Therefore, the project supports DHC operators in drawing-up transformation plans leading to efficient DHC systems as defined in the Energy Efficiency Directive revision and in particular concrete investment plans for a fast implementation of packages of low-grade RE and WH measures. In six European countries (AT, DE, IT, LT, PL, UA), the SUPPORT DHC project […]
CircCon – Circular construction – Refurbishment of the building stock in line with EU taxonomy
The central research content of the project is to evaluate and improve the applicability of the taxonomy criteria for refurbishment projects based on pilot projects. The first step is to develop a standardized process for analyzing the building stock to obtain a planning basis that covers all EU taxonomy objectives. A broad spectrum of renovation […]
NextGES – Next Generation Energy Services for Intelligent Buildings and Energy Systems
Future intelligent energy systems will merge into an integrated overall system, which must intelligently connect different sectors, (decentralized) generation plants and energy storage systems by means of suitable infrastructures. Such a change will help to make all sectors sustainable and to leverage potential emission reductions. The supply of buildings and industry with sustainable heat and […]
Study on Renewable Energy Potentials in Austria for 2030 and 2040
The project aimed to deliver a nationwide, cross-technology and methodologically consistent assessment of renewable energy potentials in Austria for 2030 and 2040. The analysis covered photovoltaics, hydropower, wind energy, deep geothermal energy, bioenergy, solar thermal energy, ambient and waste heat, as well as future energy demand. Based on extensive data collection, geospatial analyses and harmonised […]
