"The first trend is energy modeling of buildings

e current state of affairs in the digitalization of the construction industry and future prospects were discussed by market players at the SPIEF 2024 conference. Managing partner of the domestic equipment manufacturer and software developer "Kwitter-eMobility" Yuri Smirnov named the main trends for 2024.
Here we are talking about a complete uganda whatsapp resource digital twin of buildings, which includes all internal and external factors that affect it: weather conditions, geography, wind rose, etc. The twin also takes into account how many people live in the house, how often and where they move inside the apartment, how many kilowatts the refrigerator consumes. This approach allows saving tens of percent on resources, including electricity. The second trend is the redistribution and balancing of electrical power. This is an approach that allows the same allocated reserve of electrical power to be used for different purposes at different times. The entire reserve for residential buildings is allocated with a reserve. Even at peak times, the load level reaches 70-80%. At night, more than two-thirds of the power is released. And this is already happening," said Yuri Smirnov.
Director of the department of the infrastructure company "Natsproektstroy" Petr Geltishchev recalled the technology of information modeling (TIM): "In the design of each large-scale project for us the most important thing is TIM, that is, the creation of a 3D image of any object. In it you can see, for example, what will happen to the project if you change at least one element in it. You can also calculate its prospects, depreciation, etc. This is a very effective technology. In addition, for the Moscow metro ring line we developed and implemented microprocessor automation, which allows us to minimize the interval between trains. Among our developments is a transportation management system based on a neural network. Such a system can build a traffic schedule in a matter of seconds."
Dmitry Samokhodkin, Executive Director of PJSC Samolet Group, noted that there is one major barrier to the implementation of digitalization: "The main problem is that top managers and IT directors of one company speak different languages. The former say that they need to implement the strategy and manage the business, the latter are confident in the implementation of digitalization and a bright future, but with large investments and with an unclear effect. There are few good examples on the market where this benefit really exists. For example, many dream of drones flying at a construction site, recognizing construction progress, taking photos that will be automatically transferred to the digital TIM model. But the problem is that this turns out to be very expensive. At the same time, among the priorities of digitalization, one can highlight the increase in productivity and the cost of construction."
Yuri Smirnov reflected on what trends will appear in the future: "We will see the balancing of electrical power between houses and blocks. Each residential block will be a self-sufficient network that includes not only electricity consumers, but also microgeneration and electricity storage. Such smart blocks can correctly direct all available electricity to the right places at any given time. This approach will save tens of percent of resources on electrical power."
Dmitry Samokhodkin believes that artificial intelligence (AI) will play a major role: "In the future, there will be AI accompanying us at every stage of construction. That is, when we make a plan, AI will tell us which of the many options should be chosen now, and which plan will be relevant, for example, in three years. If now during construction we try to find in a lot of papers how many cubic meters of concrete need to be poured, then in the future a bot will tell us the exact amount in a matter of seconds."
