Creative thinking around construction to play a vital role in problem-solving in the real estate sector

Wind-generated electricity is poised to assume a pivotal role in the global energy landscape as the world shifts away from fossil fuels towards renewable sources.

Researchers at Concordia University present a new wind speed forecasting model that they say can help urban microgrids plan and manage electricity generation. Navid Shirzadi Ph.D. used data from a Weibull probability distribution and numerical weather prediction models and fed it into a recurrent neural network. He says his model improves forecasting by over 30 percent over a 48-horizon.

Sprawl has to be stopped and biodiverse green spaces need to increase again. On the resource-use side, cities need to move to circular economy concepts.

The university will work with the real estate leader on developing sustainable, zero-carbon projects It's been just six months since Concordia launched...
