Use case examples
Singapore: The Housing & Development Board has used our 3D tool to build their best investment in policies and technologies for more sustainable and liveable neighbourhoods
LINGANG, Shanghai: An energy concept for a 42km² “green field” innovative green urban design proposal for the Shanghai Zhangjiang Development Company with China Investment Development. The concept cut CO2 emissions by half, produced 100% of the district’s energy locally and reduced the energy bill for residents by 10%.
Tegel, Berlin: Visualization and assessment of different urban energy planning strategies by analysing the interrelation between planning decisions and multi-energy systems (integration of Renewable Energy Sources, Combined Heat & Power, Industrial Waste Heat, etc.).
