Energie- und Ressourcenmanagement

Project goal

Project goal

The project identifies the CO2 emissions of canteen kitchens and analyses the direct and indirect possibilities for the latter to influence their CO2 emissions, in terms of both options and limits. Conscious selection of the meals to be prepared and of the ingredients enables a first step towards sustainable development and healthy nutri-tion, in parallel with contributing to the global CO2 emission reduction and to the regional organic farming.

Project goal

Identification of the massflows of construction waste and excavated soil currently generated in the province of Styria, and analysis of the options for their environmen-tally-friendly disposal. From the results of this analysis, measures are derived, which would ensure an efficient and sustainable management of the construction waste.

Project goal:

Definition of concrete waste-prevention measures for packaging waste generated by the use of short-lived product groups (e.g. office consumables, cleansers and deter-gents, as well as food) in hospitals, and thus provides a valuable contribution, re-spectively, an implementation base towards overall waste prevention in hospitals and healthcare centres.

Project goal

Goal of the project is to found in Villach a regional partner pool for sustainable construction and to supply it with information on the new and actual issue "Sustainable construction". Also, a criteria catalogue for sustainable and material-efficient construction is developed.

Project goal

Goal is to update the quantification of the CFC stocks, and, based on the EU Ozone Regulation, to draw an affordable, practice-oriented and sustainable CFC management concept for Austria. In addition, a concrete step-by-step base for the implementation is to be drafted, so to keep the CFC emissions from old buildings as low as possible.

Project goal

Goal is the elaboration of an Ö-NORM (S-2096) that rules the application of the Material Flow Analysis Method for solving waste management problems.

Project goal

The Project goal is to provide an inventory of the historically cumulated physical stock of materials in EU-27 (EU-25 plus Romania and Bulgaria), and to forecast the expected amounts of waste generated, per resource category, in the next 25 years. Further, to provide an assessment of the life-cycle-wide environmental impacts from different scenarios towards waste prevention, recycling and environmentally-friendly waste treatment in the EU-27.

Project goal

The project aims at creating criteria for the development of wood products that meet all requirements towards look, functionality, recycling and reuse, and, after their last cycle of use, their potential to be employed as fuel. This way, the study is oriented towards the overall goal of wood management corresponding to the demands of sustainable economical management of resources.
