NAKRA – Sustainable Waste Management in Hospitals

Project goal

The goal of the project NAKRA is to create the base needed for the analysis and evaluation of the waste situation in the Slovak and Austrian hospitals that participate in the project. Based on this, specific implementation measures are initiated that will enable the optimisation of the waste management, the reduction of the waste amounts or of the resource consumption in the hospitals.

Another goal of the project is to initiate and enhance the contacts between Slovak and Austrian hospitals, to unite their energy towards the welfare of their patients and of the environment. The cooperation between the hospitals would also result in adjustment, respectively, further development of the regional standards of environmental and waste management in terms of the practical implementation of the EU requirements.

Filing support for the obtainment of the AUB Environmental Declaration

EPD-Hera_BM_EPV

Project goal

We support the company Heraklith GmbH in obtaining the AUB Environmental Declaration (EPD) and the Austrian Eco Label for the magenesite-bound wood wool lightweight boards Heraklith based on current research (Life Cycle Assessment, declaration sheets of the Institute for Building Biology and Ecology IBO).

 

Energy Performance Certification 2006/2007

Project goal

We optimize buildings (new buildings as well as renovation projects) regarding heating and building technology. In times of rising energy prices saving energy has become an increasingly important topic in the housing situation. Thus, the Energy Performance Certification, which provides information about all the relevant thermical properties of a building, is indispensable. This certification is the technical certificate of a building and the basis for all subsidies concerning new buildings and renovation projects. The Energy Performance Certification results from the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).

NAKO KötMaut - Criteria catalog of building ecology and sustainability

Project goal

The goal is to create a master plan in the fields of building ecology, sustainability and material efficiency. As part of this work, the criteria are listed, sorted by themes, in order to be used as a basis for discussion.

ABASG III - Cu – Contribution of the Waste Management to the Copper Metabolism of Austria

Project goal

The goal of the project „Contribution of the Waste Management to the Copper Metabolism of Austria“ is to identify the quantitatively most relevant copper-containing goods that circulate in the Austrian economy as well as to define their mass flows and stocks in production, supply and consumption. Additionally, the waste generation that occurs during raw material extraction, production and consumption is roughly estimated.

TransFED - Analysis of Action Needs and Design for the Structure of a Transfer Centre „Kärnten der Zukunft„

Project goal

Goal of the project is to analyse the action need, and to prepare a concept for the establishment and the structure of a “Carinthia Transfer Centre for Sustainability”. The target group of this centre are the enterprises (the majority of them being SMEs), who are members of the networks of the Development Agency Carinthia, namely the networks “Wood”, “Plastics”, “Energy and Environment” as well as the “Carinthia Worth to Live in” (“Lebensland Kärnten”) network being currently established.
