This contributes to a fairer, more sustainable energy transition and promotes systematic inclusion in energy policy.

• ALPHA - Advancing 5th-Generation District Heating and Cooling Networks in Alpine Space

  In order to counteract climate change in the particularly sensitive macro-region of the Alps, the Alpine countries have set themselves net-zero targets for heating and cooling. The ALPHA project, which is co-financed by the EU, is developing ways to decarbonise the Alpine heating, cooling and building sector.

• Feasibility Study on active cooling and temperature control in multi-storey residential buildings supplied with district heating

  A feasibility study is being conducted for 5 multi-storey residential buildings in Vienna to determine how these buildings can be cooled in the future in combination with a district heating supply in the face of increasing cooling requirements. The technical, economic, social and ecological aspects of feasibility are being taken into account. Based on the 5 residential complexes examined, recommendations for a future cooling concept are being drawn up for different building types.
