The Smart Panel is a modern replacement for traditional household electrical switchboards, providing real-time insight and control over home energy use. Designed for quick installation, it can be set up in under an hour and processes over 2.3 million data points per second from its more than 120 built-in monitoring, control, and safety devices. Users can manage electricity consumption via the Basis Home App, troubleshoot minor issues, and integrate residential solar and battery systems to sell e ...

Dense cities with limited space for large solar panel parks can instead benefit from building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems. Power Facade, a spin-out from the Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS), is addressing the lack of plug-and-play BIPV solutions by developing a modular BIPV wall system, using light-gauge steel prefabrication technology. Each unit can operate independently or be installed in an interlocking design, allowing for quick installation and water tightness ...

Central Chile has a Mediterranean climate, with cold, rainy winters and increasingly hot summers.

Vicente Orellana’s private orchard in Pelequén, spanning 6 hectares, produces an average of 60 tons per year of 'Santina' cultivar cherries for export. After a soil analysis assessing fertility and health, physical (e.g., infiltration) and biological (e.g., nematodes) limitations were detected in the soil, which affect the orchard’s productivity and performance.

The association faces low yields and ineffective chemical inputs, limiting productivity and soil health. They seek biofertilizers and organic amendments to improve soil conditions, reduce synthetic input use, and move toward more sustainable, profitable production.

In the Cuncumén Valley, in central Chile, the Cooperativa Cuncumén Ltda is a rural association of small-scale producers of fruits (walnuts, cherries, citrus, avocados, etc.), vegetables, and flowers, who have been severely affected by the prolonged drought that has impacted them over the past decades. The government is completing a project to supply water to the area, while simultaneously implementing an associative initiative between IICA and FIA to transition from rainfed agriculture to irriga ...

They apply biodigesters and whey-based inputs for natural fumigation and fertilizer production, aiming to replace traditional inputs like guano de isla.

The WOTA WOSH is a self-contained handwashing station that integrates a proprietary water filtration system, AI, and sensors to recycle and reuse over 98% of wastewater. Housed within a compact unit, the system independently performs the entire filtration process between uses. Its three-stage filtration system, including activated carbon and a reverse osmosis membrane, removes impurities and viruses, while ultraviolet and chlorine disinfection ensures water safety. The integrated Micro Loop Engi ...

Emerson's Copeland™ scroll compressor rack system is designed for large-scale food refrigeration, offering improved performance and reduced power consumption. This system enhances refrigeration and freezing efficiency by 15%, while increasing cost-effectiveness over its lifecycle. The use of vapor injection technology reduces compressor power consumption, improving reliability and energy efficiency. The integrated monitoring system allows for store-level management, preventing malfunctions and e ...

AI-assisted destination floor reservation systems enhance elevator efficiency by predicting traffic flow and assigning elevators based on demand, reducing waiting times and unnecessary stops. By optimizing dispatch and passenger distribution using AI algorithms, the system lowers energy consumption and minimizes the likelihood of fully loaded elevators traveling inefficiently. Additionally, regenerative braking technology recovers excess energy when elevators descend with heavy loads or ascend w ...

The Texlon® ETFE system is a lightweight and transparent material used for roofs and façades adaptable to various architectural and environmental requirements. It helps save energy by letting in natural light, reducing the need for artificial lighting, and providing insulation to regulate indoor temperatures. With low environmental impact, it is applicable for both new construction and refurbishments. Its translucent design creates visual effects, especially when lit up at night, making it a pop ...
