16th April, 2018 \u2013 <\/strong>IES,\nthe leading innovator in sustainable analytics for the built environment, has\nreleased new cutting-edge digital twin technology that will revolutionise the\nsmart city movement.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ICL (Intelligent Communities Lifecycle) is a platform of interconnected decision support tools\nthat facilitate the planning, design and operation of energy efficient and sustainable communities, campuses, portfolios,\nbuildings and local networks. It is the most holistic tool for assessing any\nconfiguration of buildings throughout their lifecycle.
\n
\nUtilising the latest digital technology to link IOT (Internet of Things) data,\nsensor readings, OpenData or any other data source into one interconnected\nplatform, the ICL enables investigation of built\nenvironment performance at any level. Users will be able to simulate entire\ncities, portfolios and communities, fill in gaps with simulated data, analyse\nhow things will look and behave in a wide range of scenarios and create bespoke\ndashboards to communicate and drive engagement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technology will provide\ndecision makers with the information required to form intelligent solutions, by\nidentifying the most effective and resource efficient ways in which they can dramatically\nreduce the use of energy and fossil fuels within a community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As one of the\nbiggest contributors to climate change, the built environment has the potential\nto make the biggest impact in reducing the world\u2019s carbon emissions. By\nlaunching the ICL, IES is making its technology available to anyone interested\nin energy efficiency and sustainability; from Architects, Engineers and Developers,\nto City Councils, Urban Planners, and ESCO\u2019s, to Sustainability, Energy and\nFacilities Managers, helping them see the true sustainability potential of\ntheir projects and make a real difference.
\n
\nIES has already delivered an interactive 3D visualisation and masterplanning\nmodel for Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore, which along with\nvirtual testing, detailed operational modelling of 21 buildings and performance\noptimisation, uncovered campus wide energy savings of 31% and $4.7m cost\nsavings.
\n
\nThe company has also developed a prototype community interaction model that\nenables real-time visualisation of energy data within the Trent Basin community\nin Nottingham, England. A model that includes information on renewable energy\ngeneration and storage, alongside energy consumption data, and general\ninformation about the homes.
\n
\nProject examples like these prove that IES\u2019 new technology has the potential to\nrevolutionise how we manage, interact and operate the buildings in our local\ncommunities, especially as local energy generation becomes the norm, not the\nexception.
\n
\n\u201cI am very excited to be bringing this unique innovative technology to the market,\u201d\nsays Don McLean, IES Founder and CEO. \u201cThe IES team have been working extremely\nhard over the past few years to develop this sophisticated suite of tools that will\nrevolutionise the way we plan and design communities and use energy, whether\nthat be a university campus or entire continent.\u201d
\n
\n\u201cClimate Change is a very real threat, and much more imminent than most people\nrealise. Over the last 25 years we\u2019ve built a solid reputation as a leading\ninnovator in sustainable analytics for individual buildings and we\u2019ve made a\nhuge impact, eliminating the need for around 30 power stations to be built.
\n
\n\u201cWith the ICL we can now apply sustainable analysis to communities of any size\nor purpose, enabling people to look at energy use holistically at a much larger\nscale. This technology brings the opportunity to make a massive difference to\nthe fight against climate change, and secure a much better future for our\nchildren and future generations.\u201d
