IEA IETS Annex 19 – Industrial electrification
The focus is on the different technical approaches e.g. cross-sectional vs. highly specific processes, low-temperature applications with heat pumps vs. high-temperature applications and power-to-X, as well as the necessary technical and legislative infrastructure like demand response, storage, politics as well as renewable potentials.As long as electricity is generated from renewable sources, the electrification of industrial […]
Smart Mainstreaming – Demonstration of the multiplicability of participative processes in standard residential construction
Through the early, active involvement of relevant actors, such as future residents, community members and neighbours from Eggersdorf, attractive design spaces are created even before construction begins. By networking all interested parties and creating a common vision for living in the community, it is possible to achieve added value for all those involved through affordability, […]
energy²POG – Hybrid Energy Concept for Steirereck/Pogusch – Renewable Energies and Cost Efficient Operation
The aim of the project is the conception, optimization and demonstration of a hybrid energy supply system optimized in respect to operational material flows for a restaurant and hotel business in an exposed location. There is no doubt that residential buildings have a high potential with regard to the implementation of sustainability goals. Special buildings, […]
ComRed – Complexity reduction for planning, simulation, optimisation and control of district heating systems
To achieve EU 2050 goal for greenhouse gas emission, special attention must be paid to the long-term planning and sustainability of our heating and cooling supply which is 51 % of the overall energy consumption in Europe. Intelligent coupling to the electricity and gas network and other infrastructures (wastewater, sewage treatment plants, industry) is crucial […]
IEA SHC Task 64 – SHIP on Solar Heat in Industrial Processes
Solar process heating can technically and economically supply up to 4% of the total industrial heating demand and by this contribute significantly to the reduction of CO2 emissions in this sector. Despite many national and international initiatives in the field of solar process heat and a great deal of technological progress, growth in market volume […]
Green BIM – Green building infrastructure as part of BIM-based planning and maintenance
Building greenery, as well as innovative large-scale horizontal greening projects, are increasingly used in our cities and increase the well-being of people in their direct living and working environment. Highly technical façade and roof greening projects, in particular, require integrated, well-thought-out planning, which apart from execution and installation also includes operation and maintenance. Building Information […]
EXCESS – Flexible user-centric energy positive houses
EXCESS defines a positive energy building (PEB) as a building, that produces more energy than it uses. At the same time the private consumption of renewable energy produced on site is very high (instead of using the grid for solving seasonal balancing issues) over a time span of one year. Renewable energy solutions and smart […]
Digital Energy Twin – Optimised operation and design of industrial energy systems
The aim of the project Digital Energy Twin is to support industry in respect of methods and software tools in order to opimize operation and design of industrial energy supply systems. Using the digital twin method detailed simplified models for selected energy relevant processes and renewable technologies are being developed and evaluated. Core of the […]
DataDrivenLM – Improving the system efficiency of district heating networks by intelligent and data driven load management
District heating networks are an essential part of the existing heat supply and a key technology of future decarbonised and cross-sector energy system solutions. In addition to major challenges in the last 20 years (reduced heating demand, increased investment- and operating costs, …), many new challenges are upcoming as a result of continuous technical developments, […]
Arrowhead Tools
AEE INTEC is head of the development line „digital twin for buildings“. Project partners for this development line are Infineon Technologies AG and EQUA Solutions AG. The research activities aim at coupling a real building with its „digital twin“. Building and system simulations are coupled in real time with measured data in order that the […]
