syria group of nations sparks controversy the fear is there are two motives for the gathering in tunisia besides providing aid to the violent torn country that says reports emerged that washington is in talks with the u.k. france italy and turkey over preparations for military intervention. a media war on iran is gathering pace and u.s. appears to be having an impact on the latest opinion poll there it suggests a third of americans now see the islamic republic as the nation's biggest enemy but many hard supporting military action against tehran. demand to be russia's next president has been capturing the imagination of british forces and filmmakers in the fortnight before russians head to the polls a book on putin's personality is due to hit british bookshops hot on the heels of two documentaries pre-treat the russian prime minister. the next we explore the ambitious building projects that involve cutting edge technology and innovations.

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. exhibition in moscow recently the company showed off its latest offerings from its named nano house. here you can find many of the newest developments all containing you guessed it the prefix nano the company has selected a number of projects that things have the best potential to revolutionize homebuilding in the future you know all of the ideas to make more livable but the overriding definitely seems to be energy efficiency. individual homeowners but the

whole earth as well you know this is just a simple exhibition. e-com has. complete with all the high tech developments. built in russia public some seven hundred kilometers east of moscow may not grab all the headlines construction materials made from. the base everything else in the house. comes from the heart. of the earth. on the planet as a result. of.

this. research is that the globe institute first positive results at the beginning of the one nine hundred fifty s. on the basis of which they wrote. in one thousand nine hundred fifty four that was the first magazine article on the topic it's appears in the. magazine. specialist recognise the role of the soviet union in this research looking at every relevant characteristic based fiver 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. with. one thousand five hundred degrees as the. agent is applied and the filaments are

stretched out and eventually. are made from the material they're significantly easier to produce than others. so. you can make a lot of stuff. but to get those come. have to be reworked first. starts with. the racks. can be combined with additional mixtures of the fiber. and fire resistance. fraction of the composite particles can increase.

to twenty five percent even though there were attempts to use. the only ones that managed to mange industrial production of it. they still have to be heated. they can be used to make concrete structures. and even. just one aspect of futuristic. energy efficient.

thirty percent of their homes energy. improvement technology. investment existing production facility will be. believed to be the future of technology. and international partners. not just production. in the. country. which. is. energy efficient code. to the heat source as a result more than seventy percent of the. building. types of.

a hard. which is called. the second is a so-called. a thin layer. is a result of depositing a fine film. on the windows. surface. exactly what. remains to be seen. from the ordinary. at the existing plant. in addition to. the company is also planning to produce some other types of. interesting. takes advantage of. additionally. as the need arises in any case the

project. production. some of these windows are designed to improve the energy efficiency of. retaining fee. you might expect. a byproduct of. region east of moscow. chucked out by the boatload. chops. in the recycling. down. two hundred fifty degrees.

hundred fifty kilograms of usable. dual role. to get. according to its

parameters in terms of. water retention and vapor permeability design of the same or even superior to similar insulation made from. a big loss. but at the same time constraints in terms of ella's to city. dust formation. of an anything else on the market today. now what's responsible for the improved performance is what you see. by something called the crazing. burrow into the. little nooks and crannies. to give their 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 insulating material from plastic 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 innovation you may recall from a previous technology program over the. time we caught up with them at their headquarters. the main break through from the innovators is their new and improved. printers.

traditional power pretty. 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 but with massive improvements like instant drying there you can bring light to practically anything in your home and here and there are. a wide range of other like metallic they can be used to print circuit boards and. panels. and most importantly even the first. infusion of particles as well as

a new type of. thing can help in the fight against counterfeiters. our company developed all the electronic equipment for it so we're constantly modifying it grading it making it even. as a result of the. innovation that's come out with the. hybrid in the race to be the quickest. of the company. the white printer. the images being applied. in the case. a really extra boost. printer. quality and high speed and that's given these innovators something to brag about.

this will be the first print which we'll be able to print with such high speed using. first presented at the group of print media fair in dusseldorf which will be held in may the third through sixteenth this exhibit takes place every four years it gives everyone from the printing world and will be presenting them. just how fast is fast you might be asking according to the time trials the latest from sun innovations around one hundred twenty square meters of every hour on average. 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 lives 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. 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. 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 solid sand roof. one of the objectives was to let as much sunlight 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 the summer especially 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 itself sometimes overlooked in the hunt for increasing energy efficiency so-called thermal bridges can result in serious heat loss. they came up with a new interesting solution. most be energy efficient we calculated that the walls had to be very thick and required a lot of insulation insulation layers are ranged in crisscross 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. the board in terms of insulation we were able to make more homogeneous. thermal bridges are 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. but this is more than just a passive house it takes the. right to the environment itself with a help of a host of intelligent components it automatically regulates several systems to maximize energy savings. and by using the earth as a heat source in the winter and a heat sink in the summer homes geothermal pumps heating that's needed. a few meters below the temperature. pumps can harness this free source of potential energy to cover the majority of our needs the heart of the system is a ground source heat pump. which turns it into a vapor. and further he. is used to power and hot water systems as it loses its latent heat. at this point the

process starts all over again. the principles of car. 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 every day needs. testing the newest technology to see how. specially interested in testing this heat. we also want to find out how much. the house will consume compare the results to the hypothetical figures that came up with during the planning phase we'll see. 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 heat to keep them and. toasty and certainly no.

small feat considering the spacious interior and high high ceilings of the building . it's always woman and if the temperature does drop one can adjust it manually face heat pump unit is powerful enough to keep the space and . just everywhere up stairs and downstairs. and as far as i understand it in county weather the solar panel doesn't produce energy but this power connector still takes care of by stating and conditioning it feels just like some a time. but all this hasn't come cheap especially given the complex engineering decisions required during the planning process but beyond that direct construction cost and 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 talked of cool one million dollars over 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. welcome. light and electronic have to be three. eight. while in the past such so-called smart homes were nothing more than a fantasy for everyone other than the super rich on the back of advances in microelectronics a computing capabilities homeowners of the little spare cash in their nest to an automated sanctuary but it's not just increased comfort that home automation offers thinks the system integrators like a luxury system. and optimized house can save homeowners hundreds of dollars

a month electricity heating and water alone. well there are plenty of software options out there on the market this integrator has found one russian 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 that is flexible enough to support all of them and it also gives the installers the tools to customize the user interface to conveniently control all sorts of equipment from one page. this eliminates the task of having to map to 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 an i phone as well as the android platform. in other words there are practically no limits for it. interfaces and controls are 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've been able to 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 keep. ability 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 in just real applications 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 process another important factor is ensuring that the required quality standards ordered her to throughout their 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 hero and 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 take for example this control made by zero one so it is designed for automating moderately complex units but what i find convenient about it is that whenever it's necessary to replace this controller we do not have to detach all these while it's simply not to remove the top and bottom panels and replace them. it features a preening stoled imbedded linux core. which gives us a more up to date programming environment that allows one to create multi controller projects. 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. but here on the programming level this enables us to cluster the modules. which means the functions

of any failed control awkward can be taken over by another still. well that'll do for this edition of technology uptake hopefully some of the innovations you see will help make your home truly your castle will see you next time until they enjoy the ride. away from the. electronics hobby horse. along to making. good by. keeping the. culture is the same of p.r. can go for you no longer any more so because we're trying to meet the new boss same as the old boss this could very well describe what has happened in yemen after an uncontested presidential election what does the future.
