    The European Union has announced ambitious targets for the reduction of energy consumption of buildings in Europe. In recognition of the potential for energy savings in existing building stock, the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive recast (EPBD recast, 2010) states that, alongside its target to construct zero-energy new buildings by 2020, renovation targets should aim to transform existing buildings into nearly zero-energy buildings, too.
  • SynerCis
    A number of Austrian companies and research institutes are developing breakthrough innovations for CI(G)S thin-film solar cells . The SynerCIS project addresses major technological challenges to bring these innovations to global markets and to show their viability under real world conditions. The project tackles a multitude of current issues along the value chain, ranging from the development of semifinished goods enabling substantial cost reductions to the demonstration of the project results in Austrian photovoltaic products.
