The research goal is to assess the cicularity of various wood construction product groups and to itemize the most important challenges and fields of action in the various life stages of construction in order to improve their circulation. Another aim is to visualise mass flows from 2023 and from an optimal scenario in 2050. en

The project aims to design and optimize photovoltaic planning during the design phase of building groups and districts, coordinated with consumption profiles, building topology and solutions for energy communities, storage and greening. (FFG No. 879452, “Stadt der Zukunft”). Participating project partner: Architekturbüro Reinberg ZTGmbH. 2010-2022
deals with the development of prefabricated facade elements which can carry PV, thermal collectors, plants or plants + PV. Moreover, a novel collector should allow a cheaper way to produce heat and / or electricity. Among the Europe-wide examples one project is located in Fehring.

HOUSEFUL proposes an innovative paradigm shift towards a circular economy for the housing sector. The main goal is to develop and demonstrate an integrated systemic service (HOUSEFUL Service) composed of 11 circular solutions co-created by stakeholders in the current housing value chain. The HOUSEFUL Service will aim at the circular management and efficient use of water, waste, energy and material resources for all stages of the European building’s life cycle.Funded by the European Commission, Research & Innovation – H2020, Nr. 776708, 2017-23
Extension of competence in decentralized renewable energy systems in populated areas”, together with FH Technikum Wien, ATB-Becker EU and 18 furthermore, sponsored by Austrian Resarch Promotion Agency (FFG), 2016-19
Research subject of Coolskin are decentralized systems for cooling of interiors. The incident on the facade surface solar radiation is converted directly or deferred in cooling energy and delivered to the room behind. The energy supply is selfsufficient in itself and needs no energy from external sources. In the study, numerical analysis, experimental investigations in the laboratory to reality took laboratory setups and field tests are conducted under realistic conditions; together with the Institute of Thermal Engineering – Graz; University of Technology, AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH (AIT Energy); Hans Höllwart – Research Center for Integral Construction AG, qpunkt GMBH, funded by the Austrian Resarch Promotion Agency (FFG 848871), 2015-18
In the research project “Shape-PV” – commissioned by the Climate and Energy Fund and FFG – a project consortium consisting of AIT Austrian Institute of Technology (consortium leader), FH Technikum Wien, Architekturbüro Reinberg ZT GmbH and ATB Becker developed a research roadmap for building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) Austria. The objective of the future research needs of the BIPV was defined and presented in a structured project portfolio until 2020 and beyond.

The project shows in an exemplary way how buildings of the time of “Gründerzeit” could be maintained and could offer a better environmental balance including the view of the village and the traffic than a new building. As an example a villa has been converted into a multi-family house within a larger housing project.
