Testing, proving, growing

Many construction projects pride themselves on reaching high levels of sustainability. The Autarc is different. We do not just claim for our project to be exceptionally sustainable, we prove our claims with solid and irrefutable test results. All data concerning energy and water use are monitored around the clock and will be published on our website from the moment the arc is launched. Relevant environmental factors like air temperature, water temperature, (day) light intensity, wind speed, rain and precipitation are recorded continuously.

Combination of these data does not only serve to support the Autarc’s ambition to reach complete Autarchy, it also supplies third parties, like other sustainability projects, with a veritable treasure trove of information to use to their advantage.

A real novelty in the field of measuring and regulation techniques is “real-time” visualization of user data, supplying the users with immediate feedback on their energy consumption and the consequences of their behavioral patterns in terms of energy use. With this state-of-the-art technology, the Autarc introduces new ways of positive behavioral influencing, taking the contemporary methods of measuring and regulatory techniques one step further.

Highly advanced digital visualization programs (so-called “augmented reality) are used both on the arc itself and on the website, to bring all the data and regulatory systems to life.
