New Energy for Old Buildings
New4Old promoted the integration of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies into historic buildings, and initiated the creation of a network of Renewable Energy Houses in the different Member States of the European Union. Different approaches were proposed with the ultimate objective to reduce energy demand and the use of fossil fuels in Europe’s buildings, […]
SQUARE – A System for Quality Assurance when Retrofitting Existing Buildings to Energy Efficient Buildings
Energy use in and by a building has the most important environmental impact during the building’s life, and is therefore the most important to reduce. The energy consumption of a building depends both on the building envelope and on the building services systems which, in their turn, affect the indoor environment. If we are to […]
HIGH COMBI – High Solar Fraction Heating and Cooling Systems with Combination of Innovative Components and Methods
The HIGH COMBI project consortium consists of 12 partners from 6 countries. In the research phase, different system configurations will be examined and optimized by detailed simulations. Innovative techniques, components and/or configurations will be examined in detail (e.g. new storage concepts, use of rejected heat during cooling, combined heating and cooling control, etc.). In total […]
SOLAIR – Increasing the market implementation of solar air conditioning systems for small and medium applications in residential and commercial buildings
The objective of SOLAIR is to promote and to strengthen the use and market implementation of small and medium-sized solar air-conditioning (SAC) appliances. Focus is given to the residential and commercial sector, combining hot water supply and space heating with air-conditioning. SOLAIR intends to resolve some major market obstacles, which are a limited awareness on […]
Nachhaltige Siedlungswasserwirtschaft – Praktische Anwendungen (NASPA)
An fünf Objekten – zwei steirischen Gemeinden (Unterauersbach und Langegg-Hirtenfeld), einer Wohnhausanlage in Pöllau (Nähe Gleisdorf), dem Christophorus Haus (Bürogebäude) in Stadl Paura sowie einem Privathaushalt (Oberwindhag, Waldviertel) – werden neue Wassersystem untersucht und darauf basierend Empfehlungen ausgearbeitet. Beitrag der AEE INTEC Ein integriertes System der Wasserbewirtschaftung für ein Wohnhaus (Gutshof Pöllau 18, Herr Feistritzer) […]
Solarkampagne “SPAR mit SOLAR”
Mit der Förderung vom Land Steiermark können ca. 30 % der Investitionskosten für die Kollektorflächen abgedeckt werden. Der Förderbeitrag für eine Solaranlage mit 8 m² Kollektorfläche beträgt € 700,-. Neu bei der Landesförderung ist, dass auch bei Mehrfamilienhäusern ein Zuschuss gewährt wird. Auch für kühle Rechner bietet „SPAR mit SOLAR“ die Solarkampagne in der Steiermark […]

More than 460 experts in the field of construction and decision makers from 12 countries visited the conference.During the three days, […]
wohnsolar!
Currently there are almost 13 million square meters of collector area (flat plate and vacuum collector) installed in Austria. 95% of these are solar thermal systems running in single-family houses. The remaining part is applied for the heat generation in multiple-family houses, tourism, sports facilities and in district heating networks. Although approximately half of the […]
Solar Heat Worldwide – Markets and contribution to the energy supply
The report Solar Heat Worldwide ascertains the contribution of solar plants to the supply of energy and the CO2 emissions avoided as a result of operating these plants. The collectors documented are unglazed collectors, glazed flat-plate and vacuum tube collectors with water as the energy carrier as well as glazed and unglazed air collectors. The […]
Energy Efficiency and Solar Heat for Industrial Processes in Styrian Companies (Styrian PromisE)
Die Erhöhung der Energieeffizienz durch Wärmerückgewinnung bzw. optimierte Prozesse mit geringerem Energiebedarf stellt für die meisten produzierenden Betriebe ein Potenzial, die Energiekosten zu senken, dar. Die Komplexität der verschiedenen Prozesse mit unterschiedlichem Wärmebedarf auf verschiedenen Temperaturniveaus macht es aber auf den ersten Blick nicht einfach, die vorhandenen Potenziale zu finden und ein energietechnisch sinnvolles Wärmetauschkonzept […]
