It can be implemented in any type of non-residential building such as schools, offices, museums or hospitals, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This system is based on the connection of existing data on air conditioning management in a building, using a digital platform on the cloud to create a digital twin and make an accurate prediction of energy needs. This enables optimum predictive control of HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) equipment. In this way, only the energy that is really needed is used to attain the same interior air quality in the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The predictive algorithms eliminate energy waste and enable savings and consequently reductions in CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions. Another relevant factor in this solution is that it extends the useful life of equipment, as equipment is used optimally in the places of maximum performance and it is possible to detect deterioration and malfunctioning prior to the failure of the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The spin-off arose with the support of the innovation programme \u201cThe Collider\u201d of the Mobile World Capital. It has been recognised by programmes and associations, such as the recent first BBVA 2021 prize for Innovation in Environmental Sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>26\/07\/2021 The Predictive Company is the new spin-off of the Motion Control and Industrial Applications (MCIA) research centre, created to market energy efficiency software for buildings<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":13768,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[940],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13806","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-noticia-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
