Pipes maintenance
Usually municipalities estimate how many pipes need replacing, based on
age, soil type, load history and incident statistics. But the actual condition
is mostly unknown

Where should we inspire us?
Boston
Using sophisticated acoustic sensors the city of Boston has
been able to save more than three million gallons of water a
day by detecting leaks early.

Technology involved
October 8, 2012 8
- Stethoscopes-like devices that are pressed against the asphaltto hear leakages
- Miniature sensors that are inserted into the water mains, flow
with the water, and hear leaks as small as a quarter of gallon
per hour
Pinpoint the exact
location of the leak!

Greywater recycling
Greywater could be recycled, separated from black water and used for
other functions (e.g. watering the garden)

Smarter energy
Why are we focusing on
this issue more and
more?
- Society is realizing oil cannotplay a major role in the future
- Level of technology at disposal
opens new possibilities in
energy management
- The economic downturn is
making people more aware of
their spending habits, energy is
a core issueSmart home

Future perspective
What should we be focusing on?
- Smart grid
- Energy consumption of public structures
- Household energy management
Energy consumption is
estimated to be doubling
by 2050

Smart Grid
The flow of electricity from utility toconsumer becomes a two-wayconversation
The consumer becomes a supplierand has the possibility to sell itsenergy back to the grid

Smart Apps
Every electronic activity in the
house could be
simultaneously under control
combining smart meters andsmartphone apps.
The challenge is to
make these services
affordable

Smarter illumination
Municipalities should set the right path
The public lighting system could be restructured using LED
technologies, this would allow an energy saving up to 40-70%
compared to conventional devices
