Just after the Lantern Festival, each of us has completely returned to our work from the festive atmosphere, the new year, Vientiane update, two years of epidemic and market downturn, but did not affect the Internet era forward wave, in the 2022 at the same time, we also entered the "intelligent era".
Combining cutting-edge technology with the existing industrial chain, taking science and technology as the core, and creating quality with "intelligence" to become the mainstream development direction in the future; then, in the era of Industry 4.0, where should we go to grasp the outlet?
Once a year, icf organizations select the best cities in the global economic, social and cultural development in the digital age, and will launch the top 7 smart cities.
The best cities to enter the TOP 7 are not state-of-the-art technology centers, but rather these cities offer better opportunities for local residents and businesses. Since 2002, several Canadian cities have made the list each year. In 2021, 3 cities in Canada will be on the list! They are the city of Mississauga in Ontario, the town of Langley in BC, and Winnipeg in Manitoba.
Xiaojing has smelled the opportunity and found that the Silicon Valley bulls who have been leading the world in technology have set their sights on their northern neighbor Canada.
Canada: Strong AI academic research base
This seemingly peaceful and indisputable country has given birth to three pioneers in the field of artificial intelligence research, Yoshua Bengio, Geoff Hinton and Yann LeCun, who jointly won the "Nobel Computer Award" in 2018 for their work in developing the leading role in deep learning artificial intelligence, known as the "Turing Award" and is also known as the "father of deep learning".
Geoffrey Hinton, known as the "godfather of artificial intelligence," is currently a professor at the University of Toronto in Canada and the head of Google's brain research team; Yoshua Bengio is a professor at the University of Montreal in Canada and the founder of the famous artificial intelligence unicorn Element AI; Yann LeCun is Hinton's postdoctoral student at the University of Toronto, and is currently Facebook's chief artificial intelligence scientist and professor at New York University.
Under the leadership of these leaders, in recent years, Canada's AI industry has developed in a low-key and vigorous manner, and the achievements of major research institutes have continued, and it is recognized by the industry as one of the most important forces in the world's artificial intelligence research.
Almost all the major technology giants in the United States have layouts in Canada, such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, etc. in the montreal area in the east, Google, Oracle, Uber, Salesforce, etc. in the Toronto-Waterloo area in the central and eastern regions, and Apple, Amazon, DeepMind and so on in the vancouver-Edmonton area in the west.
Government support, good project support
Canada, as a big immigrant country, has always been open to high-tech talents and enterprises, and when many countries in Europe and the United States are currently carrying out science and technology blockades, Canada's national strategy is to tap more international scientific and technological talents and resources.
The Canadian SUV Federal Entrepreneurship Immigration Program has become a bridge for many entrepreneurs to go to sea and obtain identity. The project does not require the applicant's language, education, and management experience, the processing speed is fast, the cost is low, and the whole family can get PR in one step, which is a high-quality channel suitable for most people at present.
Project Introduction
The project conforms to the Internet era, driven by intelligence and technology, equipped office buildings with integrated high-intelligence facilities with shading systems as the entry point, and pursues the future direction of ecology and energy conservation;
Let high-end office buildings show increasingly perfect service levels, reflect the high-end quality of the project with the advantages of building complexes, improve the comprehensive service level, greatly improve the convenience of customers' work and life, and enhance their own reputation and influence.
What pain points did the project solve?
• Overheating inside buildings In the summer of 2021, Western Americas ushered in a historic heat wave. During the heat wave, in order to reduce the pressure on the grid by air conditioning, the building management team in the city had to send emails to each school and building asking them to close the curtains; unfortunately, most people ignored it. Those who ignored the few had to go to every room, one window at a time, one window by one, and manually close the curtains.
• Building emissions account for 28% of the world's carbon emissions in the summer, and nearly 50% of the heat in buildings comes from sunlight through windows. And by winter, nearly 40% of the heat is lost through the windows. To achieve the goal of zero-emission buildings, improvements in shading are imperative. "AI Shading", using Sustainability AI (Sustainable Earth Greening Artificial Intelligence) to achieve fully artificial intelligence shading.
Technology empowers --- building managers to achieve complete shade control
Energy Savings and Emission Reduction --- the use of AI Shading can achieve a peak energy consumption reduction of up to 70%, an average reduction of 28% energy consumption, and provide real-time energy savings reports
The intelligent algorithm --- input real-time local data, including sun position, sun intensity, current weather, weather forecast, etc., so that the shading system can operate in an optimal way to create a more comfortable and livable indoor environment.
Return on income--- with strong energy saving potential, AI Shading has a short payback period of 3-5 years, similar to that of smart thermostats.
How is the project doing?
1. The existing pilot project of AI Shading has been recognized and invested by the Government of Canada;
2. The project has been installed in SAIT's Green Technology Center, one of the largest green technology centers in Canada; at the same time, the project has also landed in the Building Lab of the University of Alberta, a famous university in Canada, and is aiming at another university den.pharm building project;
3. Signed a letter of intent with Canada's largest real estate developer, Concert Property, and the project will spread commercial and residential real estate throughout Canada.
What are the competitive advantages of the project?
Strong technology: breaking through the traditional smart curtain needs to let users operate through the app, manually click the button debugging way, through machine learning technology, collect building data, bring all-artificial intelligence automatic shading into the market technology subsidies: cooperation with the U.S. government service company Willdan, AI Shading product energy saving certification, to obtain ConEdison energy saving subsidies; Canada Alberta provincial government full support, AI Shading energy saving certification, Get the market potential of 50% of The Energy Saving Subsidy of Alberta of TheMission Reduction: Smart devices are everywhere, but curtains are still manual, and through intelligence, there will now be 28 billion traditional curtain markets
Revenue model: Revenue doesn't just come from the sale of traditional curtain hardware, but also from subscriptions controlled by AI Shading. Its business model is not limited to curtain sales, but also through the management and intelligent control of curtains, saving energy for users.
