well into the future take a peek through the looking glass at what will be the homes of the future where the walls might just be smarter than the residents every day trash protects you from the elements outside and the whole system works to save you money to shine the spotlight on the latest building projects all around russia technology i'm doing here on r.g.p. we've got the central. hello and welcome to technology update this month we're taking a look at

a topic that hits well close to home in russia many innovations in terms of new building materials have come from the country's tiny tech leader now know that an exhibition in moscow recently the company showed off its latest offerings from its aptly named nano house. here you can find many of the newest developments all containing you guessed it the prefix nano the state owned company has selected a number of projects that it takes have the best potential to revolutionize whole building in the future you know all of the ideas to make will reside more livable but the overriding theme definitely seems to be energy efficiency which will benefit not only the individual homeowners but the whole earth as well you know this is just a simple exhibition but it design and consulting firm econ has planned a full scale model complete with all the high tech developments. and that will eventually get built in russia for public some seven hundred kilometers east of moscow well it may not grab all the headlines. construction

materials made from wood creek the base for everything else in the house. could find its way into more and more homes in the future is nothing new to russian scientists the volcanic rock that comes from the hot magma at the center of the earth is one of the more common resources on the planet as a result. has been on the radar of people for more than fifty years. specialists who are. based continuous find. this work began at the end of the nine hundred forty s. research is that the gloss fiber institute got the first positive results at the beginning of the one nine hundred fifty s. on the basis of which they wrote the first reports. in one thousand nine hundred fifty four that was the first magazine article on the topic its appears in the gloss and magazine. specialist recognize the role of the soviet union in this

research looking at every relevant characteristic based five or how it performs steel is significantly stronger and more flexible which is obvious advantages in construction it's also lighter so transporting it is easier and more economical additionally it doesn't degrade when exposed to the elements taken together it's no wonder the production of these fibers is on the rise to start with. crushed. into. a one thousand five hundred degree celcius as the. agent is applied and the filaments are stretched out and eventually due to the fact that fibers are made from a single raw material they're significantly easier to produce than others. different types of. his. hair. fine. so.

there were. only.

thirty percent. improvement.

new windows in russia. and the share of energy. is only five percent in our country and gradually changing the situation won't help we need to take radical steps which is what is happening today. energy efficient code. on hindered infrared longwave radiation back to the heat source as a result more than seventy percent of the world's. building there are two types of energy saving windows one is a hard paralytic coding which is called online all the second is a so-called soft place we get the hard coding by applying a thin layer of oxide and during the process. is a result of depositing a fine film of silver molecules on the window surface. exactly what type of energy efficient glass will be produced at the factory remains to be seen but

regardless of whether it's a hard coat will certainly be a step away from the ordinary produced at the existing plant. in addition to windows the company is also planning to produce some other types of next generation . interesting options. that takes advantage of. and hydrophilic processes to watch the. additionally transparent sun reflecting windows can be produced as the need arises in any case the ultimate goal of this project is to increase the domestic production of these windows. just as some of these windows are designed to improve the energy efficiency of our home. there's a new type of insulation to keep. producing this heat retaining fill it is a dirtier job than you might expect. that's because this latest material starts out

as a by product of. east of moscow. takes use plastic bottles they get chucked out by the boat load here these recycled bottles chops and then the recycled material is dried out to down. two hundred fifty degree. series of screens and filters. extracted from. six hundred fifty kilograms of usable. gives the fibers. difficult for the fibers to break for the production.

there's a bit of a takes place. apart from the others. pass through. to create. crazes. present on the. production line. five hundred tonnes of. what we managed to get thermal insulation material. the calling to its characteristics. according to its parameters in terms of. water retention and. design of the same or even superior to similar insulation made from. a big loss or. at the same time constraints in terms of ella's to city. anything else on

the market today. now with the improved performance is what you see. by something called the crazy. insulation additional properties depending on what they choose they can embed a whole host of different characteristics at a fraction of the price at which other competitors the able to do. these made from plastic. insulation isn't the only thing the company's been working on under development but they could soon come out with an insulating material. that can transmit electric signals which can totally revolutionize the way. moving from the stuff that's behind the walls to what's

inside them another project that's found its place in the nano house gives you more freedom than ever before now you can take your favorite painting or picture and apply it to just about any surface you can imagine the company behind this. you may recall from a previous technology program. since that time we caught up with them at their headquarters. the main break through from the tireless innovators is their new and improved. printers. over traditional power printing operations instead of gobbling up thirty. only about as much as. we were the first in the world to use light emitting diodes to solidify ink. this technology saves energy prevents materials from overheating and there is no ozone in the process.

printers are really only one part of the story. from their competitors massive improvements. to practically anything in your home and here in their labs been working on a wide range of other like metallic. print circuit boards and. panels. and most importantly they've been the first to. particles as well as a new type of fluorescent dye i think and help in the fight against counterfeiters . our company has developed all the electronic equipment for it so we're constantly modifying it grading it making it even. as a result of the. innovation has come out with the. hybrid in the

race to be the quickest. of the company. is being applied. in the case. trying to. boost their program. printer. quality and high speed and that's given these innovators something to brag about. this will be the first which we'll be able to predict with such high speed using. first presented at the group of print media. held in may the third through sixteen this exhibit takes place every four years. from the printing world and we'll be presenting there. just how fast you might be asking for the time trials the

latest from sun innovations. around one hundred twenty square meters of every hour on average but it's not just the speed that this russian company apart it's a versatility unlike others there hybrid can handle anything up to two hundred millimeters thick that means it can put your desired image on any surface around your home. but now isn't the only word on people's lips these days there's another high profile project highlighting that the latest building trends have arrived in russia the brainchild of a danish company feliks this so-called active house is only one of a handful in the world its goal is to balance between energy savings and healthy indoor climate or some of the technologies incorporated have yet to be tested in an environment like russia so with a mind to monitoring just how everything holds up a young family moved in last december to act as the homes guinea pigs the building stats will be closely measured you can even check them online to see just how much

energy things like the solar panels are collecting where. we tried to draw on the long history of wood construction and took maximum advantage of the new possibilities offered by the latest technologies. so the whole house is made out of wood the frame for saw the sand roof. one of the objectives was to let as much sunlight in as possible so every room is ten times more than it is generally required. but even now with all this snow outside if you go inside you will see there's a lot of light. given the extreme cold of russian winters and the plus thirty degree celsius weather in the summer especially as construction has to be found. here at their design bureau in moscow architects and engineers work together to find

a way to minimize heat losses from the building it's. sometimes overlooked in the hunt for increasing energy efficiency so-called thermal bridges can result in serious heat loss to combat that they came up with a new interesting solution. in the. house most be energy efficient we calculated that the walls had to be very thick and required a lot of insulation. layers are ranged in criss cross pattern. you can see here on the blueprint that none of the pieces line up and therefore no direct thermal bridges can form so the wall is impermeable. this but it's this is an actual size sample of the wall. we can see how the house was built thanks to this specific wall construction of the house is three times more energy

efficient than our technical standards require that the wars in terms of insulation we were able to make more homogeneous. thermal bridges are a lot longer now if you. try to travel from the cold exterior to the warm. it has to overcome a lot of obstacles on its way because of the design of the frame. with these walls in the winter you can keep the whole house warm enough with just a fireplace even in minus thirty degree weather. but this is more than just a passive house it takes the fight for energy efficiency right to the environment itself with the help of a host of intelligent components it automatically regulates several systems to maximize energy savings and comfort and by using the earth as a heat source in the winter and a heat sink in the summer the homes geothermal pumps generate all the heating it's

needed. the girl is in the weather above a few meters below the temperature remains stable. and geothermal pumps can harness this resource of potential energy to cover the majority of our needs to the heart of the system is a ground source heat pump that delivers natural to a cold liquid refrigerator which turns it into a vapor that's been pressurized and further heated up in a compressor that in turn is used to power central heating and hot water systems as it loses its latent heat the vapor returns to a liquid form and at this point the process starts all over again all this follows the principles of car no cycle which describes the maximum efficiency of a thermodynamics system this principle has been around for more than a century but thanks to modern advances it can be applied to our everyday needs. with this house we are testing the newest technologies to see how they will work in our climate we are especially interested in testing this heat pump in real world

conditions we also want to find out how much electricity the house will consume we will compare the results to the hypothetical figures that came up with during the planning phase we'll see. because the good news is that despite a pretty bitter cold snap in february the test family made it through completely unscathed in addition to the generally good atmosphere the house has created the ground source pumps provided more than enough heat to keep them and all their little ones nice and toasty and that's certainly no small feat considering the spacious interior and high high ceilings of the building. it's always. and if the temperature does drop one can adjust it manually this heat pump unit is powerful enough to keep hold the space and all the fuel. just everywhere up stairs and down. and as far as i understand it in county whether the cellar. tunnel

doesn't. connect us still takes care of heating and air conditioning. just like summer time. but all this hasn't come cheap especially given the complex engineering decisions required during the planning process but beyond that directs construction cost it up the lion's share of the budget coming in at well over half a million thrown electricity the very latest in home automation as well as the finishing touches both inside and out and the total cost of the loops is active house top of cool one million dollars however as more of these homes get built the price should fall making them more affordable for the average home buyer where you don't have to build a fancy house out in the suburbs and take advantage of the latest breakers or home optimization even the humblest of settings you can turn your simple abode into a high tech habitat.

such so-called smart homes were nothing more than a fantasy for everyone other than the super rich but on the back of advances in microelectronics and computing capabilities homeowners with a little spare cash. into an automated sanctuary but it's not just increased comfort that home automation offers thinks the system integrators like a luxury system. an optimized house can save homeowners hundreds of dollars a month electricity heating and water alone while there are plenty of software options out there on the market this integrator has found one company. whose product is way ahead of the competition the advantage over similar products made in the west is that this program can be integrated was virtually any automation system it's flexible enough to support. and it also gives the installers the tools to

customize the user interface to conveniently control all. some equipment from one page. this eliminates the task of having to map two different systems. another advantage is that this program can be installed in virtually any mobile device as well as on p.c.'s featuring the traditional windows software. that is also compatible with mac products such as the i pad and i phone as well as the android platform. in other words there are practically no limits for it. interfaces and. pleasing on the eye to be useless without this of wires there's a russian made controller system gives the owner peace of mind no matter what happens. because unlike other home automation systems this one developed and produced by a company called has a foolproof plan they give additional protection in the case of any kind of power outage poor emergency situation such backups are necessary for industrial customers

who form the backbone of the company's clients large scale manufacturers have been exploiting know how for decades as home automation has caught on in russia they started adapting their products to work on small scale projects like in an individual house or apartment in doing so they transfer their treasure trove of knowledge and experience in the industrial sphere and apply it to the little guy because their hardware was originally designed to handle massive highly complex tasks the controllers they make for homes have significant spare capacity and capability fortunately for the developers and tweaking the dispatch controllers for the home doesn't require all that much additional work. since we already have experience. we simply take advantage of what we can already do and just use it in completing orders for private homes naturally all equipment passes all the same

relevant checks since testing is a mandatory part of the production. cross' another important factor is ensuring that the required quality standards ordered her to throughout the process which are also monitored and maintained by the means of tests but to make their products ideal for home automation additional threats have to be considered here olwen technicians are making sure their adapted products won't be negatively affected by electromagnetic fields which are far more likely to cause some kind of problem that home than at a big factory such detailed considerations make life for system integrators a whole lot easier. but steak for example but in this control made by zero one so that it is designed for automating moderately complex units what i find convenient about it is that whenever it's necessary to replace this controller we do not have to detach all these wise it's simply not to remove the top and bottom panels and replace them. it features

a preening stoled embedded linux core. which gives us a more up to date programming environment that allows one to create multi controller project. there is more that we can assemble the target controller from just the modules that will eventually be required for this system so we simply extend the main one was all the additional bits will need to do with mine but here on the programming level this enables us to cluster the modules which means that all functions of any failed control can be taken over by another cyl oprah one well that will do for this edition of technology update hopefully some of the innovations you've seen will help make your home truly your castle we'll see you next time and until then enjoy the ride. away.
