ROOFBOX – Resource efficient redensification of large scale multi-story buildings with pre-fabricated modules in timber construction
Starting point Due to the impact on energy policy, spatial planning and national economics high quality renovation and redensification of existing urban settlements have highest importance for sustainable development. Renovation and redensification of existing urban settlements significantly contributes to the reduction of energy consumption of buildings, energy caused by mobility as well as to the […]
EnergySimCity – Holistic urban energy system analysis and simulation considering existing energy infrastructures and resources
Referring to the Roadmap of the European Commission for a “low-carbon-economy”, 95% of current greenhouse gas emissions should be avoided in 2050. For reaching this aim the transformation of energy supply systems will be necessary as well as a significant reduction in energy demand by changing demand patterns and the use of efficient energy technologies. […]
SOLTRAIN West Afrika
The overall goal of the project SOLTRAIN West Africa is to contribute to the switch from a fossil fuel based energy supply to a sustainable energy supply system based on renewable energies in general but based on solar thermal in particular. One of the important measures for electricity demand mitigation in the ECOWAS region is […]
Heat recovery system at the Ottakringer brewery
The brewery in Ottakring produces around 740,000 hectoliters of beerper year. The annual energy requirement of the brewery amounts approximately 16,000 MWh. For several years the brewery successfully worked on the improvement of the energy efficiency for the production process. The heat recovery measures will make a significant contribution to CO2 savings. Currently, the energy […]
District heating supply for the brewery in Murau
CONVERSION OF ENERGY SUPPLY OF THE BREWERY MURAU BY THE CONNECTION TO THE DISTRICT HEATING POWER OF THE PUBLIC UTILITY SERVICES MURAU. After the construction of the wood chips heating system in Murau, the was an opportunity for the 1st Obermurtaler Brauereigenossenschaft to connect to the existing district heating network work of Murau and completely […]
BeFinSol – Development of crowd financing models for large-scale solar thermal sytems
Based on the experience gathered from the realisation of the demonstration object, more plant operators are to be motivated to integrate large-scale solar thermal systems into their heating plants. From this point on, the use of solar heat for might wide-spread to similar applications (block heating, integration into industrial processes, etc.). The use of solar […]
klimaaktiv qm heizwerke
It is part of the Austrian Climate Initiative “klimaaktiv” launched in 2004 by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management. The quality management system for biomass heating plants and district heating networks was developed in cooperation with the international working group QM BM District heating – QM Holzheizwerke – in 2006. […]
energy4buildings – Integral Heating and Cooling with Focus on Electrically and Thermally Driven Heatpumps and Chillers
The further development of the solar collector test facilities at AEE INTEC provides test facilities for collector testing in the temperature range of -20°C up to 200°C. Therefore enterprises are encouraged to broaden their portfolio to new applications. The project adresses: The synergies between AEE INTEC and FH Burgenland therefore provide an attractive research environment […]
urban pv+geotherm – Implementation of an energy concept involving photovoltaic, geothermic, heat pump and mass storage in densely populated neighborhoods
The implementation of an energy concept involving photovoltaic, geothermic, heat pump and mass storage in densely populated neighborhoods is a great challenge because of the limited space capacity. Beyond the space problems, the use of geothermal applications for heating and cooling of buildings presents many technical challenges on its own. Generating electricity at the highest […]
En-RecoTreat – Innovative membrane distillation for the recovery of valuable substances and energy recovery in municipal wastewater treatment
The conventional municipal biological-aerobic waste-water treatment is an energy intensive process. The energy-supplier carbon respective the energy bonded in carbon as well as the nutrients (nitrogen) is destroyed with a high electrical energy consumption (aerobic aeration). In Austria, 546.000MWh of electrical energy per year must be spent for municipal waste-water-treatment. The overall objective is the […]
