Municipal laws will govern how you utilize the land where you live. Zoning regulations determine what kinds of structures can be constructed on it and where. Residential, commercial and industrial properties all fall under various forms of zoning regulations that define what they can and cannot do, including density or height restrictions and aesthetic guidelines…

Energy storage enables companies to meet their electricity demand more easily when supply exceeds demand, helping reduce sudden price surges and inconsistent power from the grid. Thermal and battery technologies offer various forms of storage solutions suitable for local, home or utility scale deployment. National Grid engineers and those responsible for electricity grids worldwide must…

Land use planning involves deciding how land should be utilized – from green spaces and agricultural sites, through residential and industrial zones, and into green spaces and open areas. Land use planning helps us minimize our environmental footprint by using only what is necessary and not overusing resources. Land is a valuable and limited resource…

Mitigation refers to efforts that aim to decrease heat-trapping greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane by either cutting emissions or increasing Earth’s ability to remove them (reforestation being one such method). Climate change is causing global temperatures to increase and altering weather patterns, leading to floods, droughts, wildfires, storms and other climate disasters that…

Energy efficiency is an effective and economical way to lower utility costs, and show your business is eco-conscious. Reducing fossil fuel usage reduces greenhouse gas emissions and pollution levels. Improving energy efficiency will not only reap financial gains for your company but also strengthen it against fluctuating energy prices and maintenance costs, while prolonging equipment…

Sustainable urban infrastructure refers to engineered facilities and systems designed to facilitate urban development, from water, transport, energy, sanitation and information systems through to built environments like buildings and parks; including natural features like wetlands forests green spaces which often go overlooked when considering urban planning and design. Building with nature is an integral component…

Transit Oriented Development, or TOD, is the latest trend in creating engaging people places centered around high quality train systems. TOD is quickly sweeping the nation and offering residents opportunities for a simpler and lower stress life that relies less on cars for transportation. Furthermore, TOD neighborhoods greatly reduce automobile travel emissions. TOD (Transit Oriented…

Smart grids are electricity networks that utilize digital technologies to better match supply and demand of electricity in real-time, improving its efficiency of usage and improving our clean energy transition process. Their implementation will increase our reliance on variable renewables like wind and solar, driving up overall electricity demand further straining existing infrastructure; smart grids…

Energy policy seeks to shape decisions regarding how much and what type of energy are consumed, produced and where. This complex area encompasses infrastructure development, pricing policies and environmental and security considerations as well as individual choices made by households, businesses and governments alike. Access to affordable and reliable energy is vital to developing countries’…

Production, mobility and communication all rely on reliable energy supply that is both cost-effective and long-term available. When developing innovative supply concepts using renewable energies as the backbone for these systems, accurate digital twins must be created along with tools for planning, operating, automating and monitoring these innovative concepts. Digitalisation offers immense promise to accelerate…
