The overarching goal of Smart Urban Areas (SUA) is to contribute to sustainable building management in Vietnam. The research project will be carried out in the Vietnamese capital Hanoi by monitoring a smart city that is currently under development. With the use of high-efficiency pumps, greening interventions, and the efficient use of rainwater, the long-term aim is to reduce emissions and increase energy efficiency for a selected building in the smart city.
SUA pursues three main in-situ measures during project time:
26 high precision IoT sensors for assessing microclimate parameters.
Implementation of high efficiency WILO-pumps.
Complimentary facade and roof greening to enhance inner and outer microclimate.
In order to provide continuous data and information sharing, a digital twin (DT) will be created for the selected TONKIN 2 building. The DT will be feeded with measurements by modern environmental sensor technology and will provide real-time information about fresh water supply as well as the influence of greening interventions and building materials on the microclimate.
