Designing the future of civilization is no small task. Our guest Michael Jansen, founder and CEO of Cityzenith, is a pioneer of digital twin technology. These emerging computer models are poised to transform how we test our assumptions about the impact of new designs and policies before making the changes in the real world. If you've heard of the Metaverse, Cityzenith's Urban Digital Twin 3D virtual models will sound familiar. Instead of providing an escapist fantasy world where avatars can dance and play games, digital twins offer a metaverse where data scientist and architects can test how the real world will respond to low-carbon strategies. Among other projects, Michael and his team have created digital twins of Las Vegas, Phoenix, and a new capital city in an Indian province.According to ABI Research, the use of digital twins in urban planning is expected to deliver $280 billion in savings globally by 2030. Ernst & Young also projects that over the same time, modeling technology can reduce urban carbon emissions by more than 50%, and lower the cost of operating buildings by 35% while improving productivity by 20%. We will be hearing more about digital twins in the news, and it will be important to understand their limits and how computer models can be improved to yield even more insight into the future of the built environment.

Las Vegas has unveiled a digital twin of its downtown area to help city planners deal with future growth and other issues, like climate change. It's a virtual modeling system by a Chicago-based company called Cityzenith. It says that Las Vegas has completed an initial set up phase, and is now headed into phase two.Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.Cityzenith says its SmartWorld Digital Twin technology will help Las Vegas analyze issues involving mobility, air quality, noise pollution, water use, and carbon emissions coming from large downtown buildings. City planners will be able to analyze those emissions as they call for changes to reduce greenhouse gases to a net zero level. (1)Las Vegas Begins Phase TwoCityzenith CEO, Michael Jansen, says of the Las Vegas project: “The base twin is now complete, and in the second quarter of this year, stakeholders from Las Vegas will be invited to join phase 2 of the Digital Twin project.” Stakeholders include real estate owners, government agencies, university researchers, data partners, architects, and casino operators.Jansen says that just 1.7% of American office buildings are “green.” But he says that building owners won't have to shell out a lot of money for upgrades because Cityzenith has partners that will provide risk-free, no money down financing for retrofits. He says the digital twin platform combined with “creative financing” will make it easier for property owners to transition their buildings.Clean Cities, Clean FutureThis is just a first step for Cityzenith. It says on its website that the Las Vegas project is part of a much larger “Clean Cities, Clean Future” initiative. The company hopes to implement the digital twin platform in major cities throughout the world. Other cities adopting this technology include Los Angeles and Phoenix, but Cityzenith says that more than a dozen other cities and property owners are lined up to do the same.Cityzenith isn't the only one providing this technology. Ernst and Young issued a report last year called “Digital Twin: The Age of Aquarius in Construction and Real Estate.” It predicts that the use of digital twins will become an important part of the real estate industry. (2)The report lists four ways that digital twins provide significant value:1 - The first is to help with building maintenance and operations. It says the technology can increase efficiency by as much as 35% by determining wasteful expenses and hidden cost savings.2 - The second is a substantial improvement to a building's environmental footprint. The report says the technology can identify how buildings impact the environment and help reduce emissions by as much as 50%.3 - The third value proposition is a 20% increase in health and wellness. That would happen by improving unhealthy indoor environments that can lead to illness and lower productivity. 4 - And fourth - improvements to the way people use indoor space and interact within a building. The report estimates a 15% increase in space utilization, thanks to digital twin modeling.Built Environment with Real-Time DataThe technology combines spatial data from the built environment with real-time data that is collected with sensors, and the internet of things. That also allows researchers to run “what if” scenarios, and predict what actions may be needed to address any future issues or events.The CEO of data company, Terbine, that works with Cityzenith, talked about the virtues of this technology in a Construction Dive blog. (3) David Knight says: “Transitioning our home city into a clean, sustainable, and more attractive place to live and visit is a fantastic opportunity.” He says: “What we're building here represents a model for how other cities can enable sustainability and a better quality of life for their citizens.”If you'd like to know more about this topic, check for links in the show notes at newsforinvestors.com.

It’s time to be positive about beating Climate Change according to Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge. His upbeat tone struck a chord with Cityzenith CEO Michael Jansen, whose company has just pledged free aid to fight greenhouse gas emissions from cities – the world’s biggest contributors to Climate Change. The Prince has launched his £50 million ‘Earthshot’ environmental award, backed by major global figures such as naturalist and broadcaster Sir David Attenborough and media stars Cate Blanchett and Shakira, to encourage innovation in the climate battle. And he now realised that galvanising people with optimism was more likely to promote action. Earthshot: Looking to unite and galvanise “There has been lots of calling out and, quite rightly, saying ‘these are the problems, and this is what we’re going to face’. But there has been very little kind of, ‘well actually, we can fix this, we can provide those solutions and we can, as human beings, turn this around. The tools are there. “We have the data. So, let’s stop talking about it, collecting data, and let’s actually provide the action and I think that’s what’s going to be really needed over these next ten years.” The theme of Earthshot was taken up by Cityzenith CEO Michael Jansen: “It was great to hear Prince William, with his global influence, talk about positivity, because we really do have the tools and data to change rather than accept the well-worn gloom and doom narrative around climate change. “By saying it’s time to ‘stop talking’ and ‘I don’t understand why those who have the levers, don’t (use them)’ he made me feel he could really unlock doors. Earthshot: Looking to challenge leadership The world’s inability to deliver a coordinated response to the persistent degradation of the planet is a testament to the failure of political leadership around this issue at many levels. Leaders need to get educated and understand that the tools and standards exist, as does the methodology, to push forward with a massive global climate resilience program that would fundamentally restructure and make more sustainable economies all over the world. “We too aim to reach the ‘movers and shakers’ who can work those levers: the Prince’s Earthshot scheme coincides with our Clean Cities – Clean Future TV ad campaign at Cityzenith and pledge to offer our SmartWorldPro Digital Twin 3D modelling tech for free to cities to help drive down their carbon emissions. “For a long time, the automobile has been the preferred scapegoat for crimes against the environment while the biggest villain, our cities, has hidden in plain sight. “The evidence has stacked up against cities: United Nations stats show cities produce more than 70%* of the Earth’s greenhouse gases and influencers like the Prince can reach governments and city fathers looking to transition them from ‘smog generators’ to clean cities.” “We have over the last decade evolved and matured our Digital Twin platform technology to serve the needs of advanced, sophisticated, large-scale real estate and infrastructure projects around the world. Some of those include the new Orlando Sports + Entertainment District, the East-West Rail high-speed bullet train project in the UK, and the new Greenfield city of Amravati in India design by Sir Norman Foster. We’ve been helping our clients reduce carbon emissions and set on a path towards carbon neutrality. It’s now time to unveil this technology to cities, and let them run with it to help their local building owner reduce their carbon emissions and become more sustainable.” We just need more doors unlocked at the top,” said Jansen. “Prince William has made a great start.” More about Irish Tech News and Business Showcase here.
