IEC everywhere for a safer and more efficient world
Info
The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) brings together 170 countries, and more than 20,000 experts cooperate on the global IEC platform to ensure that products work everywhere safely with each other. The IEC is the world's leading organization that prepares and publishes globally relevant International Standards for the whole energy chain, including all electrical, electronic and related technologies, devices and systems. The IEC also supports all forms of conformity assessment and administers four Conformity Assessment Systems that certify that components, equipment and systems used in homes, offices, healthcare facilities, public spaces, transportation, manufacturing, explosive environments and energy generation conform to them. IEC work covers a vast range of technologies: power generation (including all renewable energy sources), transmission, distribution, Smart Grid, batteries, home appliances, office and medical equipment, all public and private transportation, semiconductors, fibre optics, nanotechnology, multimedia, information technology, and more. It also addresses safety, EMC, performance and the environment.

Cities are drowning in data. A staggering 2.5 quintillion bytes is generated online daily. 📊Managing this flood is tough: cities are intricate networks interacting with external systems, and diverse stakeholders handle data differently. Interoperability is crucial, but it's just one piece of the puzzle. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e3eYdV2q #IECEtech #IECSmartCities Clare Naden

In Nantes 🇫🇷, 400 homes in the Fleuriaye West neighborhood stay warm in winter and cool in summer without heating or air conditioning. Fleuriaye West is part of a growing trend of Positive Energy Districts (PEDs), using solar, ventilation, and smart design to eventually produce more energy than they consume. How?

Let’s talk bias. 🤔 We’re all born with filters—some innate, others learned. These filters shape how we see the world and react, constantly seeking patterns. Bias is natural. It’s not a problem—until it is. But what happens when our tech is biased? 💻⚠️ Discover more here: https://lnkd.in/eKJaQ6Z4 #IECBlog #BiasInTech #EthicalAI #DigitalStandards

💧 Water is vital, yet only 0.02% is usable. Despite producing enough, poor distribution causes widespread water scarcity (Nature 2024). Smart water management is key to urban sustainability and resilience. Discover how standards can help cities tackle water scarcity➡️ https://lnkd.in/ewxit-YN #IECSmartCities #IECetech Clare Naden

Does your city have a heat island? 🌡️🥵 Urban heat islands are city areas that are up to 5°C hotter than surrounding suburbs. This "island heat" is caused by energy from people, vehicles, and concrete, with fewer green spaces to cool things down. Smart cities combat urban heat islands with IoT sensors, AI-driven temperature predictions, and real-time updates, protecting residents from excessive heat. But what if excess heat is the world’s largest untapped energy source? Read further➡️ https://lnkd.in/ebQjzZYv #IECSmartCities #IECEtech #UrbanFuture
