The interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research and development work carried out by the Center for Alpine Construction focuses on the current challenges facing Alpine and pre-Alpine regions, in particular resource- and energy-efficient, climate-adapted, and recyclable construction, and the reduction of land consumption. Our current cross-cutting theme is solutions for internal development, compactness, and energy efficiency in settlements.
Are you looking for or do you have solutions in the fields of energy, buildings, and urban development, and would you like to find out more about the current state of knowledge, future developments, and potential? Are you looking for partners in research and development? Do you need research and development expertise?
Are you looking for collaboration partners for joint research initiatives in the areas of Energy Systems, Building Envelopes and Building Systems, or Settlement Systems?
Our transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary expertise in the three working groups Energy Systems, Building Envelopes and Building Systems, and Settlement Systems encompasses not only the specific specialist areas, methods, and tools, but also, in particular, the development of solutions at the boundaries between the disciplines of energy systems, energy flexibility, mechanical engineering, building and construction technology, building physics, life cycle analysis, recyclable construction, and geoinformation data analysis and simulation.
Our consulting services consist of:
Initial discussions to narrow down development and research questions and analyze requirements
Advice on research methods and tools
Advice on other partners and competencies
Thematic, goal-oriented, and innovation workshops

Contract Research
We possess specialist and methodological expertise in the disciplines of energy systems, energy flexibility, mechanical engineering, building and construction technology, building physics, life cycle analysis, circular construction, as well as geoinformational data analysis and simulation. Our tools include various simulation tools for buildings, settlements, and physical processes, extensive measurement technology, computational resources, and an experimental building for multiphysical building and building services engineering with a test stand for building envelopes and multifunctional systems. Beyond our technical expertise, our strength lies in inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration and development.
Together with our existing partners from industry, commerce, public administration, and local authorities, we conduct research and develop solutions—from specific individual issues to building system development.
We look forward to receiving your inquiry and assure you of our solution- and application-oriented approach right from the start. Many of our researchers have many years of experience not only in research and development, but also in practical applications.
Please contact our center management or the heads of the working groups—together we will find sustainable solutions.
Collaborative Research
As long-standing partners and consortium leaders in research projects, we possess technical and methodological expertise in the disciplines of energy systems, energy flexibility, mechanical engineering, building and construction technology, building physics, life cycle analysis, circular construction, as well as geoinformational data analysis and simulation. Our tools include various simulation tools for buildings, settlements, and physical processes, extensive measurement technology, computing capacities, and an experimental building for multiphysical construction and building services engineering with a test stand for building envelopes and multifunctional systems.
We are well acquainted with Austrian and regional funding opportunities and are also involved in international projects.
As a lead partner and source of ideas, we have developed numerous research initiatives, formed consortia, and successfully secured funding.
