The APP shows you the way to energy efficiency measures and renewable energy solutions. Create energy efficient buildings and even an urban neighbourhood in an interactive 3D environment! Your goal is to decrease the red CO2 bar as you install innovative technology in the 3D environment. CONCERTO is a European Commission initiative which aims to demonstrate that the energy-optimisation of districts and communities as a whole is more cost-effective than optimising each building individually, if all relevant stakeholders work together and integrate different energy-technologies in a smart way.

References to ITS suppliers are also included. The Handbook is the result of STADIUM, a broader project co-financed by the European Commission (DG Research and Innovation) designed to promote the optimisation of transport systems, both public and private, around large events using ITS technology while taking all potential users and concerned people into consideration.

Building management systems now have the capability to learn and even anticipate their occupants’ needs, according to a new from the Royal Academy of Engineering. The report highlights both the opportunities and the risks associated with these advances in smart technologies. By 2020, there will be an estimated 50 billion networked appliances and sensors worldwide, constituting a vast global network of data-generating devices such as sensors and their URLs, known collectively as the ‘internet of things’. These sensors enable building management systems to respond to their occupants’ needs and preferences for light, temperature settings and other services. They can help to save energy and other resources by switching devices off when they are not in use. The report argues that it is vital that buildings can evolve and adapt to accommodate their users and allow them control over their environment. Architects and engineers need to anticipate the needs of users, consulting with them at the start of the design process.
