• Klimafreundliche Gesundheitseinrichtungen_Scale up!

  In 2023, the Climate and Health Competence Centre of Gesundheit Österreich GmbH launched the pilot project "Advice for climate-friendly healthcare facilities", in which 320 healthcare facilities took part. In a study, ÖGUT is investigating how these consultations can be scaled up in order to efficiently and effectively support the approximately 22,600 healthcare facilities in Austria in their transformation towards climate neutrality.

• Decarbonization of the heating system in a condominium and development of an online platform to support decision-makers

  For a residential complex in the 17th district in Vienna, the thermal retrofitting and decarbonization of the heating system are being designed together with the 95 apartment owners and suitable planning and decision-making processes are being developed. Based on the experiences, the online platform cobee (collaborative on the energy transition) is being set up to support future interested parties/homeowners

• Renovation Solutions in Municipalities (GEMSanDialog)

  The decarbonisation of the building sector is a key element in achieving the climate goals. The vast majority of the buildings that will make up Austria's building stock in 2040 have already been built. The major challenge and at the same time the greatest potential for savings therefore lie in the comprehensive modernization of the building stock. The aim of the project is - in dialogue with municipalities - to create awareness and knowledge transfer for renovation solutions.

• Competence Office „Smart Cities & Communities“

  Smart cities and communities play an important role when it comes to the transition to an energy efficient and climate-friendly work- and lifestyle. The competence office contributes to the protection and the expansion of the topic leadership through comprehensive professional programm and project support. The focus lies on the developement of technology and the organisation of a corresponding (research-)community.

• Supervising Evaluation of the Funding from the European funds for Regional Developement

  In the supervising evaluation of the austrian EFRE programm (European Funds for Regional Development), effectivity, efficiency and effect of the funded activity are assessed. The main responsibilty of ÖGUT is the evaluation of the step which leads to the saving on CO2 emissions.

• ÖGUT in the IEA experts group "R&D priority setting and evaluation" (EGRD)

  The IEA expert group F&E priority settings and evaluation (EGRD) was initiated by the commitee for energy research and technology (CERT) with the goal of developing and spreading analytical approaches for the energy-technology-analysis, the F&E priority setting and the assessment of the use of FTI policies.

• Innovation network “HdZ2Market”

  Within the research and innovation network “HdZ2Market” it is aimed to raise awareness, build capacities and close gaps in skills of already successful positioned companies in order to exploit their full potential in the area of sustainable building.

• “klimaaktiv” mobility consultation programme: mobility management for companies, property developers and fleet operators

  The kilmaaktiv mobility programme, focussed on building contractors, aims to achieve CO2-minimising traffic planning and sustainable spatial and traffic structures for housing estates, open spaces and industrial sites and also generally to promote climate-friendly construction sites.

• Programme Management: “Stadt der Zukunft“ („City of Tomorrow“)

  The goal of this project is to develop new technologies, technological (sub-) systems and urban services to accelerate the “City of Tomorrow” initiative. The OEGUT supports the Austrian Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology (bmvit) in designing the content of the programme and its strategy, transferring the results and also takes care of the supervision and networking of project participants.

• “klimaaktiv” building and refurbishment

  The “klimaaktiv” building and refurbishment programme is a part of the Austrian Ministry for Agriculture and Forestry’s (BMLFUW) climate change initiative. The central goal is the market launch and quick dissemination of climate-friendly building and refurbishment methods within the residential buildings and services sector.
