Centre for Alpine Building
by Research Studios Austria FG
The Alpine Building Research and Transfer Centre acts as a knowledge carrier for resource- efficient and sustainable building in the Alps. The centre deals with technical solutions for future-oriented and interconnected buildings – hereby, it focuses on the simulation and implementation of measures in which buildings are understood in the context of their location as well as regarding the surrounding settlements and infrastructure networks. For public administrations and businesses.
Enerspired Cities
by Research Studios Austria FG
Models and metrics for decarbonisation are usually available in urban planning processes, but access to the necessary data is often not straightforward. Enerspired Cities has developed a concept for a centralised information and access control to relevant (geo) data for urban planning processes.
For public administrations.
BONUS
by Research Studios Austria FG
BONUS tries to mobilise existing potentials for redensification in cities by offering a holistic consulting service as well as a transferable operator model. An innovative data basis and analysis are used to identify the existing building potential and develop it sustainably. These insights are complemented by the factor mobility and green space and open space aspects. BONUS creates a basis for increasing energy-efficient, resource-saving and socially sustainable
residential properties in cities.

Spatial Energy Planning
by Research Studios Austria FG
Exploiting the full potential of renewables and making the best use of resources and infrastructures requires coordination and information. – This is where Spatial Energy Planning (SEP) comes in. SEP is an important lever for the integration of innovative and sustainable technologies and new market models – thus making long term energy and infrastructure planning possible. Digitalisation provides the necessary foundations by allowing complex urban energy interrelationships to be depicted and analysed.

Energetic Demand Density Model
by Research Studios Austria FG
This energetic demand density model blends geographical data with statistical data and specific demand values to determine an estimate of the energy demand at building level. The spatially discrete knowledge of an energetic demand situation is the basis of decision-making processes for a sustainable transformation of a future heat supply in local and regional settings.

Energy System Optimization with RIVUS
by Research Studios Austria FG
This energy system optimization prototype combines spatial analysis and mathematical optimization to determine scenarios for an optimal heat supply. These scenarios can be used as a basis for decisions on sustainable supply. Optimal supply set-ups under given framework conditions can therefore be identified.

Identification of Potential for Residential Developers
by Research Studios Austria FG
A prototype that automatically identifies parcels which are suitable for social housing based on digital data. By interlacing the information with indicators of the local building structure or with the number of owners, indications of mobilisation probabilities can be generated.
For public administrations
KLIMACENT
by Ökostrombörse
An innovative crowd-funding initiative that supports regional climate protection projects. Supporters contribute depending on their CO2 emissions or energy consumption – at least one euro cent per used kilowatt hour. The raised money goes either into the Klimacent funding pot or can be earmarked for specific projects that are close to the supporter’s hearts.
For businesses and individuals
ECOSINT
by Ökostrombörse
The ECOSINT project works on integrating local energy communities (LECs) into the overall energy system. This way, the communities – often in the form of renewable energy communities – can contribute to the overall goal of the energy transition and help in the reduction of peaks.
For energy communities
Cities on Power
by Ökostrombörse
Cities on Power was an EU-funded project with a committee of European partners. It’s aim was to highlight solutions against climate change and resource scarcity in cities through targeted transnational cooperation.

Saubermacher
by Know Center
As an innovative service provider in waste management, Saubermacher relies on digital route planning to carry out waste transports in a cost-saving and climate-friendly manner. Data-driven methods make ecologically and economically sensible solutions for waste transport possible.
For businesses
Digitized Customer Service
by Know Center
Know Center is working with Energie Steiermark on a digitized customer service system to resolve customer queries in the area of energy and heating swiftly and efficiently, while boosting customer satisfaction. Data analysis, text preprocessing and natural language processing are the main focus.

Aurtra
by Next Incubator
Aurtra offers a cost-effective asset management solution for transformer data. Through automated data collection and the use of IoT technology, Aurtra allows new insights into the operational processes of transformers and collects important data for future investment decisions and maintenance processes. Through intelligent data analysis (and the use of machine learning algorithms), predictive maintenance concepts can be developed and the service life of the transformers increased.
For businesses
Enerbrain
by Next Incubator
Enerbrain has developed a dynamic system for controlling HVAC systems (heating, cooling, ventilation) in buildings. The data collected by sensors is algorithmically analysed and then used to adapt the existing HVAC system in real time, whereby significant energy and CO2 savings can be achieved. This is a self-learning system that both increases the energy efficiency of buildings and improves indoor air quality.
For businesses
Power Ledger
by Next Incubator
Power Ledger is the world’s leading peer-2-peer marketplace for renewable energy. It enables both businesses and individual customers to sell any surplus solar energy they produce to third parties (to the extent permitted by law) without the need for a middleman.
For businesses and individuals
Tourism Insights
by Invenium Data Insights
Tourism Insights allows you to learn everything about your touristic guests and your region. Where do my guests come from and how do they move through my region? Which places or events do they visit and how long do they stay there?
For public administrations and businesses
City Insights
by Invenium Data Insights
City Insights answers questions about your city. How people interact with it. Where people come from. Where people go. Where they live, work and spend their time. – Tailored to your questions, anonymized and in compliance with the strictest data protection guidelines.

Smart City Networking Platform
by SIR
The Austrian Smart Cities networking platform aims to support, strengthen and connect cities that are pioneers and have a strong commitment in urban development, decarbonisation, and improving quality of life. SIR is coordinating and managing the Austrian Platform, which currently includes six smart cities (Graz, Klagenfurt, Innsbruck, Salzburg, Vienna, Villach).

Urban Area Parameters
by SIR
International studies suggest that 2000-Watts continuous power per person are compatible with the goal of keeping climate warming below 2°C. Regions and communities in Switzerland have therefore decided to follow this principle of a 2000-Watts-Society – Austria is attempting to develop a comparable system. This project analysed the Swiss system regarding planning, evaluation and quality assurance of new housing estates and investigated its transferability to the Austrian context. Requirements for the adaption of benchmarks, criteria, and structures and processes were examined, and a roadmap including next steps for the development of an Austrian rating system was developed.
