NextCity Labs: Smart cities

Smart cities

Smart cities are those urban environments where new technologies are used as a tool to optimize the use of resources, make processes more efficient, create greater sustainability, with the goal of improving people's lives.

The world's population and its concentration in urban areas is increasing every year. It is therefore very important that this growth takes place in an orderly manner and under solid bases of humanity, sustainability and efficiency. This is what the smart cities framework seeks to create with the use of new technologies such as digitalization, artificial intelligence, sensors, the internet of things (IOT), renewable energies, electric vehicles, and other modern technologies.

Within the different areas encompassed by the concept of smart cities, NextCity Labs® focuses mainly on energy and mobility. Thanks to an improvement in the collection and management of energy by all the agents that are grouped in the urban areas, it is possible to contribute to an improvement of the environment and the quality of life of residents and visitors.

Its infrastructure is defined by the sustainable production of energy, placing value on renewable energies over conventional energies, adaptability to environmental changes and a focus on new technologies. They thus become a new concept involving new forms of expression, socio-cultural development, and efficient planning to minimize distances. The decrease of environmental impact is one of the pillars of this trend putting people and the ecosystem at the center of the development equation.

The energy system is in transition towards a sustainable model that is expressed in smart cities through component reuse systems, better consumption habits, sustainable waste disposal and the promotion of the implementation of renewable energies.

¿Qué es el Certificado LEED para construcciones sostenibles?

LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design. En castellano: Liderazgo en Energía y Diseño Ambiental) es un sistema de calificación voluntario para certificar edificios ecológicos. Esta acreditación proporciona un marco para determinar los estándares de ecoeficiencia y los requisitos de sostenibilidad. Además, ofrece la documentación de profesionales a quienes facilita formación en sostenibilidad.

El cambio climático responsable del fin de la tundra como almacenamiento de CO2

Un equipo internacional de científicos ha estudiado las consecuencias del deshielo temprano por el cambio climático durante los últimos cinco años. Este grupo que analiza las zonas de Alaska, Canadá, Groenlandia y Siberia ha determinado que el adelanto de la primavera podría comprometer la capacidad de la tundra para almacenar carbono.  

Nuevos LEDs de perovskita azul para grandes superficies

El avance en la iluminación PeLED de haluro metálico, es decir, en LEDs de perovskita pueden alcanzar una gran luminancia a bajo voltaje debido a su alta conductividad eléctrica, por lo que sería una regeneración en la iluminación de bajo consumo.

Instalado el primer teravatio de capacidad solar

En el mundo ya se puede obtener un teravatio de hardware para generar electricidad directamente del sol. En el planeta Tierra existen los suficientes paneles solares para generar esa carga de energía, por lo que se puede comenzar oficialmente a medir en teravatios.

El CIM la nueva modalidad para gestionar infraestructuras y ciudades en 3D

El modelo CIM es un conjunto de sistemas BIM (Building Information Modeling), que reconstruyen una zona de una ciudad o una infraestructura que se extiende en un espacio determinado gracias a modelos 3D virtuales e interactivos. En la parte práctica es el mismo concepto en ambos sistemas, pero el nuevo modelo se aplica a escala urbana y al sector de las infraestructuras.
