Sustainable energy for smart citiesPublicated: 24.May 2022The concept of smart cities is based on interconnected modern technologies that are supposed to improve as many aspects of urban life as possible. Modern urban building technologies include large area systems for the sustainable supply of cities with energy, as well as building blocks for mitigating the microclimate in cities, which affects energy use and living comfort. Researchers from the Laboratory for Environmental Technologies in Buildings have published research in the field that addresses these goals.
