Green Energy Lab: S/E/P II – Spatial Energy Planning for Energy Transition
The GEL S/E/P project series aims to significantly improve and expand processes in urban and municipal energy supply and energy transition planning by providing comprehensive and standardized spatial information in the form of geodata (energy atlas) as well as in the form of automated reports. The energy atlas comprises, among other things, spatial information on […]
ABM4EnergyTransition – Agent-based simulation of energy transition pathways in urban environments
The ABM method takes into account both spatial data to describe the energy system of a study area (buildings, energy infrastructure such as natural gas or district heating networks, local renewable energy potentials) and parameters to describe the decision-making behavior of actors (agents) within this energy system (homeowners, investors, political decision-makers). The methodological approach extends […]
ACR GIS-bEPS – Development of distributed GIS-based Spatial Energy Planning Services
The question of how we can efficiently and cost-effectively heat our homes and supply commercial and industrial sites with low-carbon process heat in the future without the use of fossil fuels cannot be answered exclusively at the level of the individual building or industrial site. Further it cannot be separated from the necessary transformation of […]
SKE Kapfenberg (Modul 2) – Master plan for the expansion and decarbonization of the district heating supply in the municipality of Kapfenberg
The subject of the project is the preparation of a master plan for the expansion and decarbonization of the district heating supply in the municipality of Kapfenberg in accordance with the energy and climate policy principles and objectives according to the legally valid sectoral concept of energy (SKE). As a target within the master planning, […]
climate protection plan for Gleisdorf – Preparation of a climate protection plan for the municipality of Gleisdorf
The question of how we should in future supply our buildings and businesses as well as our mobility requirements with efficiently used and climate-friendly produced energy cannot be answered at the level of the individual object. Neither can it be seen detached from the changes in the heating, electricity and mobility sector. Rather, a multitude […]
SRI2MARKET – Paving the way for the adoption of the SRI into national regulation and market
SRI2MARKET will use lessons learned by countries that are well advanced in rolling out SRI to support and inspire action among those that are not early movers. Für das Projekt wurden folgende Ziele festgesetzt: Objective 1: Support the targeted EU Member States Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, France, Portugal, Spain on introducing the SRI into their national […]
circPLAST-mr – Mechanical recycling of plastics: from waste plastics to high-quality, specification-compliant recyclates
Plastic waste belongs neither in the sea nor in the environment. But: plastic has many faces. Therefore, a clean separation between the different types of plastic is necessary in order to improve the recycling processes of plastic. This would make it possible to better recycle the 920,000 tonnes of plastic waste that accumulates in Austria […]
SRI AUSTRIA – Analytical support of the SRI test phase in Austria
The aim is a well-founded analysis of various SRI approaches and support for the test phase of an SRI in Austria parallel to the EU-wide test phase in spring/summer 2022. For this purpose, buildings with different uses will be examined for their “smart readiness” using various indicators. The present study is a continuation of an […]
iWaterCheck – Method for identifying water-related optimisation measures in SMEs as a basis for standardised water audits
In order to reduce water consumption in a company, it is not only necessary to know in which areas water consumption occurs, but at the same time an audit should also provide the methods to optimise this consumption, adapted to the needs of the respective company. Such audits do not currently exist. The new audit […]
BioProfit – Profitable valorisation of biogas fermentation residues through CO2 storage and nutrient recovery
It is now becoming painfully clear that the previous model is not sustainable: fertiliser produced with fossil energy and mostly imported has become so expensive that many European countries expect drastic harvest losses for the coming year. Yet with the appropriate technologies, fertiliser and even humus could be produced from the fermentation residues of biogas […]
