Diversity was omnipresent at CFP’s Innovation Day. It was an afternoon full of triggering conversations, innovative pitches and new collaborations. “This is where you come to play outside on a serious subject: to make the planet better.”<\/strong> In this article, read more about the pitches from RGS+, biocompact, CFP Green Buildings, FlexoWatts, Lumon, Solar Sedum, Presol and Oyster Heaven. Curious about the other eight pitches?\u00a0Then read on here.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Drones not only recall innovation, RGS+<\/a> shows that they help push boundaries. The cloud app can include all types of buildings. Photographs, drone footage and drawings record both the inside and outside of the building down to the last centimetre. Brian showed how the software breaks up the building into elements and gives them colour scores. By giving various parties access to the system, the data become insightful and scenarios can be worked out and compared. The biggest plus of RGS+? “That’s in passing on data to partners involved in the execution, such as roofers and building contractors. The data are reusable.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Roderick startled the audience with a picture of a toilet that could have been situated in any student accommodation and facts about bacteria released up to three metres into the air when flushing a standard toilet. But the real bottleneck is in the 20% of all drinking water used annually to flush toilets, while we face a drinking water shortage. The consequences are disastrous, including lower biodiversity and higher risk of forest fires.\u00a0Biocompact\u00a0<\/a>convinced the public with their water-saving toilets and waterless urinals with no smell or other odour. Icing on the cake: the toilets can be installed in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As it happens, water-saving toilets are one of the more simple and inexpensive swaps that building owners can implement to score better on BREEAM. If you want easy insights into the opportunities and most efficient ways to achieve sustainability using BREEAM, there is the BREEAM Portfolio Manager<\/a>. CFP colleague Bram Weggemans explained all the ins and outs. Thanks to the holistic perspective, users easily monitor how far they have come towards achieving a level higher on BREEAM. Zooming in on specific topics such as ‘resilience’ helps discover what measures building owners can implement to even score better. Evidence can easily be obtained by means of uploaded photos and avoids the need for an on-site expert to visit, which saves time and money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Getting down to work with\u00a0energy management<\/a> Michiel showed how FlexoWatts\u00a0<\/a>‘s smart system provides a solution to grid congestion, the dynamic market and ever changing legislation. Instead of fiddling with calculations in Excel, here you use a simulation of your actual system with all devices that consume energy. This allows installers, real estate managers and consultants to work out all kinds of scenarios. What does an afternoon of cloud cover instead of sunshine do, and what is the impact of turning on equipment that uses 500\u00a0kW in the morning? Everything is calculable, so you can make smart decisions. Unique: FlexoWatts’ software open downloadable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All 16 pitchers made the most of the five minutes given to them. Installers, real estate owners and bankers pricked up their ears. Critical questions, conversations about try-outs and a convivial drinks session followed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nSustainability with drones<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
