Sustainable Living
By bringing energy intelligence to a project we not only master a proper management but also help increase efficient balance generation and demands further leading to new revenue streams. The ever growing cost of energy is magnifying the impact on the profitability and sustainability of a building. We help in production of energy and then further managing it by monitoring, optimising and reducing the energy utilisation in buildings. We bring in smart sensors and easy control systems to create the intelligent building which can adapt the internal environments to the changes in climate or usage. The appliances and electrical equipments are studied well in advance to schedule strategies to reduce the electricity cost and improve the power generation for maximum efficiency.
Energy producing facade design!
Architecture should not only focus on designing buildings, but also focus on combining sustainable energy and habitability, in order to create a sustainable way of living. Energy efficiency in buildings is becoming pivotal in developing sustainability and reducing civilisation's carbon footprint. From better insulation to facades that generate solar power, many modern buildings are becoming greener than ever. This involves the use of solar panels used cleverly on the facade that can effectively transform a wall into a solar energy-generating structure. We aim to develop a new type of building facade that generates solar energy for heating and cooling while also to offer passive solar heating and fresh air for office buildings or public buildings. Similarly, in contrast of the bulky wind mills that are used universally to harvest wind energy, the surface area of the facade is engineered in a way that it traps the huge potential of wind to produce electricity.
Support for the perfect bathing experience!
We have seen many professionals choosing the most beautiful looking bath tubs for their client and forget to suggest them the heating method for it. Poor users install a low capacity water geyser in the bathrooms which never suffice for a great bath experience. They can never have the feel of a warm bath without worrying about hot water arrangement. A solar water heater is a device that captures sunlight to heat water. It can be an economical way to generate hot water for small houses (for shower and bath).
Water heating accounts for 17 percent of a typical home’s energy use. A solar heater not only enables substantial energy savings as solar power is free in contrast to natural gas or fuel oil. Moreover, it is a way to produce hot water for sanitary use throughout the year without emitting any CO2. Many of the homeowners say that paying attention to their hot water use has made them more aware of how they use all their resources.
Conserve energy by letting light follow you!
A human travelling from one room to another can trigger the sensors to turn the lights ON and OFF respectively. These motion sensors turn on the connected lighting system when it detects motion in its coverage area. During the day, the built in Photocell Sensor saves electricity by deactivating the lights. You can reduce your electricity bills by using PIR Motion Sensors and Occupancy Sensors. The timing for which the light will stay turned off can also be controlled hence, saving energy. In the evening or at night, you can also manage at what time the lights should become ON. By the use of PIR Sensors, considerable energy can be saved by switching off the lights when the space is not in use. Savings are huge in larger facilities. Installing energy-efficient lights like LEDs and CFLs throughout your home/ office/ retail space is another way to save energy.
Consumption management!
Increasing cost and demand of energy has led many organizations to find smart ways for monitoring, controlling and saving energy. A smart Energy Management System (EMS) can contribute towards cutting the costs while still meeting energy demand. The emerging technologies of Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data can be utilized to better manage energy consumption in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. The holistic view of energy consumption in a building is provided by the network of smart connected things. By monitoring Humidity, Ventilation, and Air-conditioning systems smartly, the systems can help offices in optimizing the energy usages. Smart energy management solutions can reduce energy consumption in offices by 20%. Manufacturers can save 10-20% on energy bills by implementing IoT powered smart energy management solutions. With the evolution of IoT, energy management has become smart and more efficient. IoT seems a promising platform for smart energy management. With ultra-reliability and wide range of use cases in energy management, IoT is to be considered as a pioneering approach in the area of energy management.
Production at urban level!
Solar farms are also known as solar parks and solar power stations. They operate as power plants, just like a natural gas power plant or other sources of energy generation that have generated electricity for consumers for the last century.
Unlike residential and commercial systems, they’re decentralised and usually consist of ground-mounted solar panels installed across large areas. In most cases instead of providing power to a local end-user like a homeowner or business solar farms provide power to the electric grid and are part of the utility’s energy mix. There are different types of large solar projects, like community solar farms and utility-scale solar farms. Some solar projects, like those built to power data centres or other large users of solar power, have solar farms built purely for their use—sometimes onsite, sometimes offsite. Indian Government promotes solar generation and has multiple schemes for solar power plants, solar parks and subsidies to procure it.
Low consumption screens!
Gone are those days of advertising with a flex print put on a sign board alongside the roads. There are QLED and microLED displays which come in various sizes for a dynamic advertisement in a crisper quality. There are window screens that can cast a video or a set of photos on it, making it ideal for shopping displays. With the interactive and touch display, not only do we see huge experimentations in marketing ideas but also using it in public places, malls, restaurants, hotels to create a more involving experience which leads to an excited customer. For an eye-catching large-scale viewing experience we suggest video walls. They are a larger than life experience and impersonates a New York’s time square feel with the dynamic ads on the “billboards”. The best part though about these screens are they are energy efficient and great for the environment. Light on the pockets and definitely give back it’s returns in no time.
