Intuitive Thermal Comfort Controller

Guaranteeing an optimal level of thermal comfort can increase productivity and quality of life. ‘THERCOM’ project will facilitate the development of a new paradigm in indoor climate control to ensure optimal thermal comfort. The control development will focus on three characteristics: improving user experience, increasing energy efficiency and consistency with the technological revolution.

‘THERCOM’ will offer an innovative user experience by implementing intuitive interaction between the occupant and the controller. The controller will apply thermal comfort theory and, based on the European and UK standards, bring an improvement to the user experience. ‘THERCOM’ will be the first controller to directly relate to the user experience and the environment, providing consumers with a unique control. The controller will optimize the expediency of most of the room users: no other controller in the marker is able to adjust the setpoints to optimize the general thermal comfort level of the room.

Increasing energy efficiency is one of the principal objectives of our society to decrease the negative impacts on the environment. ‘THERCOM’ will generate the opportunity to increase thermal comfort and optimise energy consumption. Internet of Things offers for the first time in human history the opportunity to provide ‘intelligence’ to objects. The new technologies try to improve the human quality of life, and thermal comfort is one area with immense potential to apply ‘smart’ controllers. Using the theoretical knowledge of thermal comfort, empirical data, international standards, and innovative hardware, ‘THERCOM’ project seeks to create a new paradigm in the indoor climate controller world, based on people, and adapting to personal prophecies, the human being has to be the focus of the advances that seek to reach net zero because it is the humans who consume the energy.

Motivated people are the most powerful force in the world. ‘THERCOM’ is able to motivate people to reduce their energy consumption through competition, rewards, feedback, and other gamification concepts, utilising all the power of motivated people. With this in mind, the possible positive impacts of this project are immense.

Quantum Leap: Harnessing Simulators for Tomorrow’s Engineering Challenges

Introduction: Unveiling the Quantum Age

As traditional binary-based computing approaches its evolutionary limits, quantum computing emerges, heralding a new dawn of technological capabilities. Central to this revolution are quantum simulators, which provide a window into the potential of quantum mechanics to revolutionise our data processing methods.

Decoding Quantum Simulators

Quantum simulators are cutting-edge quantum devices specifically engineered to replicate the behaviour of intricate quantum systems, which are beyond the reach of classical computing methods. These simulators are distinct from quantum computers. While quantum computers tackle specific computational challenges, simulators delve into the fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics by replicating the behaviour of quantum systems.

The Mechanics of Quantum Simulation

Quantum simulators employ core principles of quantum mechanics to manipulate qubits—quantum bits that are the primary carriers of quantum information. These qubits are capable of existing in multiple states simultaneously, enabling parallel processing and exploration of expansive solution spaces.

Employing techniques like superposition and entanglement, quantum simulators offer a highly accurate and efficient means to model quantum systems. By engineering controlled interactions among qubits, scientists can mimic the dynamics of complex physical phenomena, ranging from molecular configurations to condensed matter systems.

Exploring Applications and Potential

The potential uses of quantum simulators span various fields, notably engineering and energy. Researchers utilise these simulators to study material behaviour and develop novel materials with custom properties, which are crucial for advancing renewable energy technologies.

Furthermore, quantum simulators are instrumental in refining algorithms and protocols within quantum computing. This groundwork is paving the path toward practical quantum applications in areas such as cryptography, optimisation, and machine learning, potentially transforming how science and technology progress.

Connecting Quantum Simulations with V-LAB

At V-LAB, the potential of quantum simulation is both recognised and capitalised upon, particularly in advancing engineering and energy solutions.
