Klaus Winiwarter

Ing. Klaus Winiwarter, MEng is a Researcher at the University for Continuing Education Krems, affiliated with the Center for Climate Engineering. His work focuses on sustainable building technologies, energy efficiency, and climate resilience in urban environments. He has led and contributed to multiple research projects funded by Austrian state programs and the FFG (Austrian Research Promotion Agency).

Key projects include the development of intelligent energy-efficient building components (2010–2014), evaluations of housing subsidy programs for sustainable buildings (NÖ WOHNBAUFÖRDERUNG+, 2016–2025), and studies on leveraging cultural heritage for community use (monumentum ad usum, 2018–2023). His research emphasizes practical applications of climate engineering principles in urban planning and policy.

Publications include technical reports on solar energy utilization in urban spaces, policy analyses of housing subsidies, and strategies for adaptive reuse of historic buildings. His work bridges academic research with real-world implementation in energy-efficient construction and climate policy.
