A new research project will set up a network of #IoT-sensors to monitor real-time energy consumption and #carbonemissions from construction projects. The aim is to create a database for a simulation tool that accurately mimics and predicts said consumption and emissions down to the smallest detail. "These sensors will provide real-time data, capturing the intricacies of energy use and emissions that are impractical to calculate accurately with existing methods," says project lead Assistant Professor Jhonattan Martinez from the Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering, Aarhus University. He continues: "The total emissions and energy use of a project are currently estimated using data from manuals and fact sheets provided by manufacturers of various machines, tools, lighting, and other construction site necessities. However, these estimations fall short of accuracy due to the vast number of energy-consuming and carbon-emitting sources and the lack of actual historical data." The research project is called "Predictive carbon emissions monitoring and control system for earthwork and interior work using simulation and remote sensing technologies", and is a collaboration with Danish IT companies Clevertrack and Acembee. The project is supported by WE BUILD DENMARK and will run for 18 months. (READ MORE: Link to article in comments below) #dkbyg #byggeri #civilengineering #construction Professor Mikkel K.

Very proud of having participated in the #ThesisIn3 concourse in the European Council on Computing in Construction conference #EC3Conference2024 celebrated in Chania!! It has been a pleasure to present my #Research about #data-driven services for #smartbuildings. Considering the humans are looking for the output of the cave according to the #Plato cave myth, the way to find the light is providing more sustainable buildings. How? Using data in the proper manner to increase #EnergyEfficiency, keeping #comfort levels and reducing energy costs.

After many trials and fails in building a #wind_turbine that generates voltages through a #triboelectric_nanogenerator, our Part IV students finally were able to implement an #Archimedes wind turbine with a mechanical-based sliding mechanism that was able to function at wind speeds of around five m/s in our small #wind_tunnel. The original design implemented vertical-axis turbines that induced higher frictions caused by the combined wind-induced moments on the shaft and the sliding mechanism. Nonetheless, it could be argued that there could be different methods to achieve similar outputs at slower wind speeds. The project is under investigation and could be considered one of the most aesthetic projects this year. The Project is supervised by Dr Kean Aw. #University_of_Auckland_AeroLab

😀 🚀 Breaking Ground: Transformative news unveiled to propel us into the week ahead! 🛳 ⚓ Under task 2.1 VITO partners are crafting the future through system-level development and grid integration. 🔋 🌊 Exciting news from our VITO partners as they unveil the latest innovation in revolutionizing #maritime #transportation: the design tool for #electrical #system architecture! 💡 With numerous possibilities for #electrifying #ships, our cutting-edge tool provides a structured approach to select and design the optimal #electrical architecture. 🛠️ From single-line block diagrams to detailed #design #data, our tool empowers #ship designers with the comprehensive insights needed to make informed decisions. ➡ Our selection process involves three key steps: 1️⃣ Primary screening: Identify go/no-go criteria. 2️⃣ Secondary ranking: Utilize a scoring system for further evaluation. 3️⃣ Final selection: Leverage calculations and simulations for ultimate decision-making. 🎉 But it doesn't stop there! Our tool has been put to the test in collaboration with FLEXSHIP project partners, applied to the 2️⃣ demo #ships with remarkable results. 🌟 👀 The main objective of designing an #electrical #architecture is to ‘electrify’ or convert existing #ships into #hybrid propulsion #ships in line with the design options discussed in the previous deliverables of Task 1. 🔔 Don't miss your chance to follow FLEXSHIP and get first all the latest developments 🔗https://lnkd.in/gf9WyRSu FLEXSHIP received funding from EU Horizon Europe research and innovation program under Grant Agreement no. 101095863. #waterborne #transportengineering #maritime #batteries #storagespace #electrification #vessels #shipping #euprojects #horizoneurope #electrification #electricvehicles #innovation #MaritimeInnovation #ElectricVesselCharging CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency
