Building energy management: How does it benefit you?
It is one of the existing policies to combat climate change, such as the development of renewable energy and less polluting transport. In today's post, we are going to talk about the importance of the energy efficiency of buildings.
We highly value the importance of Energy Efficiency and we know the growing need to analyze and monitor our environment to make the processes that take place in the city more efficient. We are aware of the unstoppable trend that society experiences of residing in cities, which marks a new reality that must be faced in all areas.
Building Energy Management - Almost Zero Consumption:
The buildings are an important element in a city, are responsible for 30% of final energy consumption and a third of CO2 emissions. If we want to make our cities smart, why not the buildings we inhabit? Currently, the energy consumption of buildings in Spain reaches 36% of the total consumption of the country, there is no adequate energy management and the life cycle of a building is not analyzed either. Therefore, there is an urgent need to reverse this trend, which is why the issue of energy efficiency and also the energy rehabilitation of buildings becomes more relevant.
The building sector accounts for 40% of energy consumption all around the world. This consumption is mainly due to heating and lighting systems in both tertiary and residential buildings. Therefore, it is important that buildings take into account the fundamental role played by energy efficiency solutions.
To fulfill the objectives, countries have been strategising in the Building Sector aims to mobilize investments in the renovation of buildings to improve energy performance.
Some of the actions highlighted by the Residential Commission to achieve the energy-saving and efficiency objectives are:
- Preparation by member countries of an energy efficiency plan every 3 years.
- Carrying out energy audits every 4 years in the facilities of large companies.
- Compliance with "Almost Zero Consumption" of new buildings before 2020.
According to the new regulatio, by 2020 new buildings must have almost zero energy consumption.
What is a Smart Building or Smart Building?
It is defined as a building with a very high level of energy efficiency, where the almost zero or very low amount of energy required should be largely covered by energy from renewable sources, including energy from renewable sources produced locally or in the environment.
To fulfill this, the essential requirements are the installation of renewable energies, the limitation of demand and high energy efficiency in the facilities.
A great example of energy efficiency: The La Vela building
The La Vela financial building is located in the Las Tablas, in Madrid, and is built according to the LEED Gold sustainability criteria, becoming the new example of energy efficiency. Furthermore, it is the largest building in Europe lit with LED lights.
The elliptical tower is located in the center of a circular plaza 100 meters in diameter, has 19 floors distributed in its 93 meters high and is surrounded by 7 buildings of three heights that bear the names of the different continents. The streets surrounding the buildings are named after seas and oceans. Its facade is glazed on its two flat faces of 49,000 square meters, which reduces energy consumption.
In terms of energy-saving and sustainability, it has a system that allows rainwater to be collected to be reused for irrigation.
Its lighting by means of LEDs means an energy saving of 40%, and it also has a blind management system that is regulated according to natural light, allowing energy savings of 60%.

List of Links m3u & Playlist IPTV: All you need to Know
IPTV Platform has become one of the most popular ways for people to access different television channels. With IPTV, we can watch our favorite shows anywhere and anytime with our connected devices as long as we have an internet connection available.
But, how does IPTV work?
What is IPTV?
IPTV or Internet Proctocol Television is the ability to access and view different TV channels from around the world through the Internet and from different connected devices, such as a tablet, a smartphone and even a Smart TV with the support of a TV-Box, of course, it is with a computer.
Access to these different channels can be done through a transmission platform, downloading an IPTV application capable of reading the m3u links, which are the reference formats of the IPTV channels or using a TV-Box Android. While viewing online content is a completely legal process, it is important that you only subscribe to legal IPTV providers to access the many digital content from the web.There are different providers that offer different subscription options so you can enjoy your favorite shows wherever you go and in a legal way.
How m3u IPTV links work:
The IPTV M3u links are the formats in which the IPTV channels are available.The MPEG m3u or MPEG version 3.0 file is, therefore, a URL format that stores a list of addresses that often includes audio and video files that can then be played on different streaming sites or with an application for this purpose. To access these m3u links, you must download them from sites that offer free links or subscribe to an IPTV subscription service. However, these links are ephemeral and change constantly, approximately every two days.
Beware, most m3u links are illegal, we recommend that you don’t use this type of links.
Where to find the lists of IPTV m3u channels?
Since the existence of IPTV, many households have decided to use this technique to watch television.The requests for access to different IPTV m3u playlist are constantly increasing. Channels like Netflix, Canal + or Amazon Prime Video are available on IPTV. Some sites also offer free access to IPTV playlist like iptv4sat. However, you must be careful because these links are illegal.
Why M3U IPTV lists can be illegal?
Although watching digital braodcast content is a perfectly legal practise, sometimes the use of some IPTV m3u links is illegal. An IPTV m3u link is considered illegal when the company allows access to IPTV channels without having been authorized.
What in the eyes of the law is a serious crime that does not respect the laws of intellectual property nor the rights of diffusion of a content. If you do not want to have problems with your Internet service provider and the authorities, we recommend that you use only the IPTV links provided by legal distributors. If not, you run the risk of serious penalties.
What are the risks when using IPTV m3u playlist?
The use of m3u IPTV files is safe if you acquire them from a legal provider. The risk is that you have obtained these m3u IPTV files from a site that does not have permission to share these links.
Many sites offer free m3u links and IPTV subscriptions without having previously obtained permission to do so. And it is by using these free links or subscribing to these illegal services that you run the risk of getting in trouble with the law and your Internet service provider.
The daily life of a renewabe energy engineer
The renewable energy engineer ensures that the project meets the objectives set (profitability, safety, respect for the environment and deadlines) through feasibility tests by identifying the technical, environmental and regulatory constraints. The engineers can select the sites for the installation of a wind farm for example, according to various criteria such as the wind potential, the environmental sensitivities of the site or the proximity of the electricity grid.
In photovoltaics (sunlight transformed into electricity) or photothermal (sunlight transformed into heat), the engineer tries to reduce the production costs. In the field of geothermal energy, it will make profitable the exploitation of deep underground layers. Renewable energy engineering can sometimes involve commercial aspects or even communication. It must also consult with the owners, residents of the project, local elected officials and administrations.

Vision of Connected Health for the Future
The success of the future for professionals and patients
Health professionals have always adapted to the constant evolution of the methods, techniques, and practices of their discipline and the service of better global health. Currently, we live in a world in which technology is ubiquitous in our day-to-day lives, so it is not surprising, especially after the emergence and success caused by connected devices, that this trend has an impact on the health sector.
Connected health is seen as beneficial and promising, both at preventive and patient follow-up levels. Technological innovations always give rise to positive reactions that are easy to recognize but, in turn, cause fears and fears that need to be answered.
- Health connected to the service of a better doctor-patient relationship
Health professionals cannot continue to ignore the existence of connected health products or their patients' use of them. Connected health devices should be perceived, especially today, as tools that allow doctors to maintain a link with their patients once at home: after a visit to the consultation, in order to observe the constants of a patient and adapt the treatment; or after hospitalization, with the aim of reducing your hospital stay and monitoring the evolution of your vital signs at a distance. However, there is a certain reluctance, totally legitimate, by doctors. Not in terms of the reliability of the products, since these have been clinically validated according to the regulations governing medical devices, a seal of trust for consumers to which they should pay attention. Rather, what worries them is the avalanche of data that they will have to deal with and the responsibility of consulting them.
However, health professionals must see in these devices a real interest, especially in the personalized support that connected health can offer. The number of patients that require personalized and constant medical monitoring increases proportionally to the increase in our life expectancy. The goal of future medical devices is to simplify the relationship between healthcare professionals and patients. With proper use, they can offer benefits such as reducing the workload of overloaded healthcare professionals while maintaining patient autonomy.
- The digital world applied to health: an exceptional device for prevention and monitoring
After the evolution of connected objects for monitoring personal activity (wristbands and watches to measure activity), connected medical devices are used for health monitoring and prevention (and cure) of chronic diseases. Today, 73% of French support the connected health sector when a specific utility is applied to connected devices.
As an example, hypertension is not always detected in patients and taking the tension is not an automatism acquired outside the doctor's office. One in three adults has hypertension and 50% of patients with this chronic disease do not maintain control of their condition. It is important to know that this disease is not always detected when the doctor takes the tension from the patient in the consultation since this can vary. The "connected" approach offers the patient the possibility of providing his doctor with a history of data for a given period, which allows him to improve his follow-up and the relationship with the doctor. In the case of diabetic patients (382 million worldwide according to WHO), the connected devices significantly improve their environment, as they allow them to leave the notebook in which they manually enter the figures of each power outlet. Now, the data is automatically registered in a mobile application and the patient can consult them at any time and share them with total security with their doctor. Thanks to a more regular, more complete and adapted follow-up of their patients, doctors will have more data to make their diagnoses or adapt their treatments.
Daily measurements and unprecedented data records will improve the quality and effectiveness of the consultations, to the point that they will allow the detection and management of chronic diseases, generally known as silent diseases, which are currently detected late.
- Promote an effective telemedicine system
Connected health has only just begun and has not yet shown its full potential. Over the years, it will help fight the lack of medical staff. Likewise, it will participate in the improvement of a basic problem of our health system: the course of the patient in the hospital. Telemedicine tends to develop to respond to very clear objectives: improve access to health care, improve the quality of care, reduce serious events and improve the quality of life of patients. Connected health represents an essential advantage for health professionals in the exercise of their functions and participates in the acceleration of the development of telemedicine.
Powering the Consumer Electronics Industry

Top 3 Consumer Electronics Trends in 2019:
Smart homes, voice-controlled equipment, and augmented reality devices top the list of most expanding electronics
In addition to being actively present in the industry, the financial system, telecommunications and other key sectors of the economy, electronic technology is also increasingly part of people's daily lives.
But what are the top three trends that will have their use expanded by consumers in 2019?
1. Smart Home Appliances: This new technology replaces, for example, traditional switches and outlets with appliances that offer three different power channels that can control room lamps or traditional electrical appliances such as an Internet-connected coffee maker, allowing you to turn it on or off at a distance.
2.Voice-Controlled Devices: One of the most popular technologies today, so-called conversational interfaces can offer 15,000 skills that range from basic functions to more complex experiences. Besides, these devices allow video conferencing between users.
3. Augmented reality devices: This technology allows the virtual world to be mixed with the real world, enabling greater interaction and opening a new dimension in the way tasks are performed, even those assigned to machines. Its applications range from creating interactive games to improving surgical procedures when a doctor is away from the patient or facilitating car maintenance by the owner himself. So-called "consumer electronics" has evolved a lot in recent years and, over the next decade, should become increasingly integrated, consolidating the Internet of Things (IoT).
According to predictions,the further expansion of the augmented reality in consumer electronics, as well as "wearable equipment," which includes bracelets, bracelets, watches, glasses, rings, costumes, and devices easily attached to the body, now a gamble. of the big companies in the electronic market.
Digital Engineering: The new growth engine for discrete manufacturing
Digital Engineering is changing the manufacturing environment.
Product-based business models are being disrupted by service-based business models. New skills are needed in a world of smart products, and the success of innovation depends on the effectiveness of an open ecosystem in the company.This research examines how manufacturers are balancing two priorities: using digital to bring legacy products to market faster while investing in new smart products to capitalize on the opportunity to derive revenue from services.
Research and development have the highest priority in Digital Engineering-
R&D is essential for the innovation process. It is an investment in technology and future capabilities that allows us to develop new products, processes, and services to boost the success of your company. With around 1000 research and development engineers, we are able to push the limits of innovation, to strengthen the comparative advantages of our clients and allow us to do more with less in the future.
In few manufacturing companies, they use a series of simulation tools: electrical, mechanical and thermal simulation, 3D E CAD and M-CAD. These tools reduce the development time of new products, help create more complete designs and guarantee the highest quality of your converters.
The key findings are:
- Estimated global market size of connected products will be $ 519,000 to $ 685,000 million by 2020.
- To capitalize on new opportunities, manufacturers must add non-physical skills (such as data and software skills) to their traditional skills base.
- At the same time, they should renew current approaches to innovation and development of legacy products, using a consistent source of information throughout the entire product life cycle, from engineering to manufacturing and services.
- However, few companies have significant progress in transforming their approach to engineering and innovation. Lagging organizations face multiple challenges: there is little 'digital continuity' and data shared throughout the product life cycle, they do not use digital technologies properly, there is no effective use of their ecosystem of allies, and they do not have staff with the new skills needed.
We have identified a group of companies that successfully transformed their product and engineering innovation. They demonstrate a group of characteristics that represent best practices: they have a concrete vision and digital action plan, make better use of their ecosystem of allies, invest more in digital technologies, recruit talent with digital skills, and create a culture of experimentation and agility.
