Optimisation of primary energy consumption of solar (thermal) cooling plants by means of efficient technology and innovative control strategies
The R&D Project „Optimisation of primary energy consumption of solar (thermal) cooling plants by means of efficient technology and innovative control strategies“ (SolarCoolingOpt) aimed to find out the optimized configurations and control strategies for solar thermal cooling plants regarding primary energy balance. A first step was the development of two improved simulation models on the […]
Combined Development of Compact Thermal Energy Storage Technologies
In the EU-funded R&D project COMTES, three technologies for the seasonal storage of solar thermal energy are being developed. The aim of the project is to arrive at storage systems that need less volume than comparable systems working with water as the sensible storage material. In one development line, the Swiss research institutes EMPA and […]
RENEW SCHOOL
School buildings are places of major public interest. Our children are educated in life’s basics, in some schools beyond that. Therefore not only the educational system itself, but also the conditions of these buildings are very important signals to the public, even to the pupils themselves. The RENEW SCHOOL project aims at retrofitting a great […]
METHODIQA – Development of a quality assurance methodology for Renewable Heat Systems by means of intelligent operational monitoring
Reports such as the ESTTP Strategic Research Agenda show that approx. 50% of the final energy consumption in Europe is used for heating and cooling purposes. In view of the EU 20-20-20 targets, it is fundamental that Renewable Energies play an important role to reach national and European climate and energy goals. The utilization of […]
Ship Malaysia – Solar Heat and Energy Efficiency for Industrial Processes in Malaysia
Malaysia aims at increasing the share of renewable energies with a mix of different technologies within the next few years. Thus Malaysia started several initiatives and action plans. Most of the plans refer to the electricity sector for example “Tenth Malaysia Plan 2011-2013 (10MP)”. Within this plan 5.5% of the required electricity is planned to […]
e80^3-Building – SP 5 Monitoring und Dissamination
The content of the project is the analysis of energy- and building-biology-related issues for the evaluation of the demonstration building in Kapfenberg, which was constructed within the program “Building of Tomorrow Plus”. In addition to the analysis of energy- and building-biology-related issues, the user acceptance is also evaluated and shown. Via project-related measures in the […]
GREENFOODS
Main target of the project is the development of the GREENFOODS branch concept guiding the user to identify tailor-made solutions for “green production” for SMEs in the different subsectors in the food and beverage industry by combining technological expertise with knowledge on energy efficiency and renewable resources resulting in clear strategies for SMEs for process […]
e80^3-Building – SP4 Demonstration Project
The combination of pre-fabricated façade modules and modules for building services as an advanced opportunity for the retrofit of buildings has not been implemented in any case in Austria by now. On the one hand the pre-fabricated active and passive facade modules and the modules for the building services should be used in the pilot-project […]
SOLTRAIN 2 – Southern African Solar Thermal Training and Demonstration Initiative
Partners of the project are three universities, the Sustainable Energy Society of Southern Africa (SESSA) and solar thermal industries. Within the project awareness raising campaigns, establishing of competence centres and solar thermal technology platforms and installation of demonstration plants are the main fields of activity. Through the awareness raising campaigns relevant stakeholders and interested community […]
Energy Concepts for Residential Buildings
The Tools are only available in German. Energiestrategie Wohngebäude.pdf Ziel: Nachhaltige Wohngebäude Etwa ein Drittel des Energieaufkommens in Österreich beansprucht der Gebäudesektor für das Wärmeaufkommen. Damit sind Gebäude ein wichtiger Bereich für Maßnahmen zur Energieeffizienz und Einsatz Erneuerbarer Energieträger als entscheidender Beitrag zur Substitution fossiler Energieträger und zur Reduktion energiebedingter und umweltrelevanter Treibhausgas-Emissionen.Für den Gebäudebereich […]
