In Celebration of World Efficiency Day on 5 March, #ARKANCE is shining a light on our partnership with the World Green Building Council and the increase in collaboration around innovations driving a circular economy in the Built Environment. Read about the Circular Buildings Coalition's top 10 Blueprints for Tomorrow: Shaping Europe’s Built Environment with Circular Construction here.   “Over one-third of the materials used globally are for buildings, but less than 9% of global materials consumed are kept in productive cycles of use”. - Cristina Gamboa, CEO of World Green Building Council.   Read article:- https://lnkd.in/dqhWz7Rp #WorldEfficiencyDay #sustanability #circulareconomy #ThinkFuture 

Picture this: A highway brimming with cars 🚗, and above it, a canopy of solar panels powering thousands of homes. ☀️💡 In a ground-breaking experiment in Germany 🇩🇪, they're engineering just that! The pilot project kicks off with a robust 10-meter-wide and 17-meter-long roof of solar photovoltaic modules, hovering over a bustling motorway near Singen in Baden-Württemberg. But hold on, it doesn't stop there. 🚦 Switzerland 🇨🇭 is sketching its own eco-friendly future. Energypier, a progressive company in the cantons of Valais and Zurich, envisions transforming sections of the motorway with solar panel coverage. With a 1.6-kilometer solar roof, they project to generate about 50 GWh of energy per year. That's enough to power around 12,500 Swiss households annually! Imagine – a 1.6km stretch of highway brewing enough energy for over 12,000 homes. It's fascinating how holistic solutions like these could potentially reshape our energy landscape. ⚡ Picture our highways, not just as sprawling tarmac ribbons but as power-engines for sustainable living. 🌈 What are your thoughts on this ingenious use of infrastructure? Commendable innovation or pie in the sky? Stand up, be counted, join the conversation. 🌍💬

We completely understand that different projects have different needs, so try our best to make more options for the client, that is the key to success. So, we give two sizes of 200W solar tubes, so that they can be used for different poles, thus saving more cost on fabricating poles. #solar #learning #solarindustry #moduleefficiency #longi #ptype #solartube #verticalsolartubes #solarenergy #sustainability #costeffectiveness #energyoptimization #durability #visualappeal #ecofriendliness #greentechnology #renewableenergy #solarpole #solarenergysystem #design #innovation #innovacióntecnológica

Corporate IT should also shift their thinking and embrace technology that promotes sustainability. This is a necessary mentality for transformation and change while building a network infrastructure for future buildings. If we are building a new building by 2028, then now is the right time to design it.    Passive optical network (PON) is a sustainable network infrastructure solution that reduces energy consumption and carbon emissions in corporate IT operations compared to conventional technology. Corporate IT at a higher level should be open to considering and implementing PON for IT infrastructure in new buildings.   Corporate IT can play a part and make a big contribution to the building's sustainability vision by implementing PON technology.

NEXOFAB Europe - A sustainable revolution - Circular self-energy-generating system construction from recycled material In the ongoing search for sustainable solutions for the challenges of the 21st century, an exciting new concept is emerging: circular self-energy-generating system construction based on recycled material. This innovative approach promises not only a radical change in the way we build, but also a crucial step towards a more sustainable future for our planet. Traditional construction methods have left significant environmental footprints, with excessive use of natural resources and the generation of enormous amounts of construction waste. In contrast, the circular self-energy generation concept offers a promising solution. By using recycled material as a construction raw material, we not only reduce pressure on natural resources, but also give new life to materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. A key feature of this new approach is the self-energy-generating functionality of the residences. Rather than depending on external energy sources, these buildings are designed to generate and manage their own energy. This includes advanced solar energy systems and innovative storage and distribution methods that work together to guarantee sustainable and efficient energy use. This concept goes further than traditional sustainable system construction by emphasizing closing the material circle and realizing complete energy autonomy. By innovating at the intersection of architecture, technology and environmental awareness, these buildings become not only structural spaces, but also a powerful statement of our commitment to a circular economy and a greener planet. In this introduction we have only scratched the surface of what this exciting new concept has to offer. In the coming speeches we will delve deeper into the specific aspects of circular self-energy-generating system construction and its impact on the environment, society and the future of the construction industry. Together, let's open the doors to a more sustainable, energy-efficient future, where our buildings demonstrate not only progress, but also respect for our precious planet.

I came across the Dynamo pyramid, by Dynamo Energies, in Alta de Bergamo Piazza Della Cittadella, it is truly a marvel of modern technology and sustainable design. Its photovoltaic panels, with a combined nominal power of 80W, are strategically placed to capture the maximum amount of sunlight throughout the day. The ‘Dynamo Piramide’ is a unique object that harnesses the power of sunlight and converts it into usable energy for people's everyday lives. The photovoltaic panels integrated into the structure capture the sun's rays, which are then transformed by the Dynamo Pyramid into various services for the public. These services include charging systems for electric vehicles, Wi-Fi connectivity, power supply for music playback, lighting, and integration with LED screens for communication purposes. This structure exemplifies how renewable energy can be harnessed to create a more environmentally friendly and technologically advanced future.

🌏 🏢 Speeding up the real estate industry’s shift to combat global climate change demands that we tackle obstacles hindering the adoption of net-zero building technology. Obstacles such as lack of awareness, initial cost barriers, resistance to change, regulatory complexities, and constrained supply chains are substantial challenges, but they are not insurmountable. ⭐ Visionary leaders, experts, and progressive companies have an essential role to play in hastening the transition toward a more sustainable built environment. Through raising awareness, advocating for regulatory reforms, and investing in eco-friendly supply chains, it is possible to tackle these barriers. This paper, “The Road to Net-Zero - Understanding Drivers and Barriers of Existing Building Technologies,” written by Sofia Päivärinne and Simon Lithner, investigates the forces that shape the utilization of existing building technologies. It also presents examples of 10 progressive commercial real estate companies employing diverse strategies to advance the transition toward net-zero buildings.

In this blog post, we will explore the role of technology in achieving net-zero buildings, highlighting the latest innovations and trends in the industry.

Cutting building emissions is critical to combating climate change. A main aspect of new ‘ultra-sustainable buildings’ is climate technology such as monitoring energy systems, smart thermostats, and sensors to determine the building occupancy. These digital technologies, when paired with advancements in solar panels and smart designs, can help buildings go beyond net zero. https://lnkd.in/e34Tm7sA
