Property & Construction

Remote real-time property monitoring to measure energy/water use, detect leaks, control temperature and arrange/conduct maintenance or order spare parts ➔ Improving eco-efficiency, reducing transport/ storage costs and responding to problems proactively. Improving quality of the built environment for residents/workers.

Monitoring site conditions via sensors, or tracking workers’ health with wristbands ➔ Improving health and safety of workers and reducing project risk/hazards

Geo-locating vehicles, plant or equipment ➔ Improving security and efficiency

Timing machines, processes, lights or electronics to run off-peak or turn off when idle (in homes, offices or industry) ➔ Reducing energy use and carbon emissions, potentially benefitting from off-peak power tariffs or energy trading schemes

3D-printing ‘Smart Glass’ with nano-liquid that changes in response to light/heat ➔ Improving temperature control and reducing energy use for heating/cooling

3D printing concrete for complete homes ➔ Reducing time, materials, waste

Generating and storing energy for homes, offices and industry ➔ Reducing or eliminating carbon emissions, avoiding mining of natural resources

Providing electric vehicle charging stations at retail and home developments ➔ Mitigating climate change, supporting transition from fossil fuels

Installing stoves powered by renewable energy instead of natural gas ➔ Reducing emissions, improving air quality and associated health outcomes

Developing ‘off-grid’ properties with renewable energy and storage ➔ Providing power to people in rural areas where connecting to the grid is not feasible

Building roads/pavements using waste materials such as glass, rubber, plastics ➔ Reducing mining of natural resources and associated greenhouse emissions

Recycling or remanufacturing furniture, fittings, carpets and equipment ➔ Reducing waste, improving efficiency of resources, providing more affordable products

Creating art installations from waste ➔ Reducing waste and enhancing quality of life
