SimScale and Digital Engineering conducted a readership survey to obtain a high-level view of how engineers are using both on-premises and cloud-based simulation software. The research found that respondents are using simulation across their design departments and throughout the design cycle on a frequent basis, and analyzing multiple physics.

We have long recognized digital as a major driving force in our industry to increase efficiency and productivity. The energy transition has brought new meaning to digital, making it a game-changer in promoting the structural change needed to accelerate the shift to a low-carbon future. Digitalize to decarbonize has become an imperative, powered by accurate, objective, and accessible data. At Technip Energies, energy transition is our business. Therefore we are fully invested in harnessing the power of digital in this journey. With a solution-oriented approach that connects data across the entire project life cycle, we make sustainable changes to the way we operate, broaden opportunities, and support new business models.

Even before the pandemic, new technology trends and climate change were already pushing industrial organizations to reshape traditional business models. After the pandemic, this shift has only become more urgent. Today, organizations are seeking new ways to both drive their energy transition effectively and meet high-priority digital transformation needs.

A picture is worth a thousand words and is often able to answer the questions of who, what, where and why. Construction sites are often bustling with workers and have lots of activities happening at the same time. A picture of a construction site tells a thousand tales. Analyzing such pictures using computer vision techniques can help tell a story of what’s happening at site, which can help improve efficiency and safety, minimize risk, and monitor project-related progress. Construction companies are always looking for better project monitoring options and computer vision techniques provide more efficient, automated, round-the-clock monitoring.

Globalization has driven the use of digital technologies across all industries. While many sectors have adopted the changes as feasible, several are yet to leverage the opportunities arising out of the same. According to different studies, the construction industry is also catching up, albeit slowly, in the drive to leverage the benefits of cloud, Blockchain, IoT, analytics, Big Data, Drones etc.

President Biden has called for net-zero emissions, economy-wide, by 2050. Accomplishing this will require increasing efficiency, vastly increasing renewable energy capacity, and transitioning from fossil fuels to clean electricity. Buildings have a critical role to play in achieving each of these objectives. This paper proposes a framework for determining which metrics are best suited for policies to move existing commercial and multifamily buildings forward on the path toward zero carbon emissions. Choosing the right metrics is necessary for effective policies, but it is not sufficient to achieving a just and inclusive energy transition. Building performance policies — in conjunction with other complementary policies — must bring the benefits of improved performance to those living in affordable housing andhistorically underserved communities, and at the same time ensure that the cost of compliance does not create new burdens. Jurisdictions must consider the impact of policy decisions on equitable outcomes, particularly with respect to establishing performance levels, options for compliance, and penalties for non-compliance.
