-
k-WP
An air-to-water heat pump with a heat output of 2.5 kW is being developed in the k-WP project, which is subsidised by the state of Tyrol. A reversible refrigeration circuit supplies the energy for defrosting the brine-fuelled evaporator.
-
lightSIMheat
The use of complex daylight-guiding façade systems offers a high savings potential compared to the state of the art. Preliminary studies show a savings potential of almost 50% in total energy requirements (heating, cooling, lighting). However, the simulation of such systems is currently still only possible to a limited extent.

-
GIST
The aim of the research project is to develop a highly efficient, cost/benefit and application-optimised solution for modular, planar, building-integrated large-area collectors with a high level of architectural acceptance. This is associated with the intensive utilisation of possible energy synergy potentials between solar collectors and solid components in the building envelope.
