Cities founded in the 21st century. “Smart city” of the 21st century: they began to build electric houses in Russia (2 photos). XI world special exhibition “city of the XXI century” and


Innovative high-rise buildings with electric heating, climate control and an air purification system have appeared in a new district of Yekaterinburg

In the Urals, they began to introduce elements of a “smart city” - a unique living environment that takes care of residents day and night. The first blocks built according to new standards are located in Akademichesky - this district of Yekaterinburg is being built by the Kortros company, known for its innovative approach to housing construction. Distinctive feature“smart city” - engineering and planning solutions that can make the lives of citizens easier even before they have time to realize it. A new word in “smart city” technologies has become electric houses - buildings in which electricity is responsible for all basic processes.

What is an electrode

An electrode is apartment house with individual supply and exhaust ventilation system and electric heating. In practice, this means that the electrohouse does not have the usual heating radiators - warm floors are responsible for heating the room. A silicone insulated cable is used as a heat source, which is laid on a monolithic floor slab and protected with a screed.

The heating is turned on at the request of the apartment owners: the system will be able to heat the room as much as necessary. this moment. Heated floors work at any time of the year - which means that the residents of the electric house are ready even for unexpected frosts that may come ahead of time: when it gets cold, it will be enough to just press a button.

Other processes are also electrified - for example, instead of standard hot water supply, electric water heaters are provided in the electrohouse, which ensure uninterrupted supply to apartments hot water. While other houses may suffer from month-long downtime without water, residents of electric houses simply do not notice the schedule of the “utility workers” - in two- and three-room apartments there is a separate water heater in each of the two bathrooms.

The forced individual ventilation system with warm air recovery provides ventilation and additional air purification, and also reduces energy consumption for space heating, providing 5% savings compared to apartments without recuperators.

Fixed payments for heating, which are familiar to Russians, mean that a resident of a standard house pays the same amount regardless of the quality of the service. It doesn’t matter whether the house is warm, cold or hot - the result on the receipt is still the same. Individual space heating in a smart home allows you to calculate payments fairly: apartment residents will pay exactly what they used themselves.

In practice, this means that in case of a long absence (for example, during a holiday), the heating can be reduced - and this will immediately be reflected in a cheaper bill. Cool weather lovers can simply turn down the heat and watch their bills go down. In one apartment, you can preset several time ranges during which the temperature will be fixed at a specific value: for example, from midnight to six in the morning the apartment can be heated to +23 degrees, and from six to nine in the morning - to +26.

The second advantage is related to supply and exhaust ventilation. The system allows you not to open windows for ventilation - therefore, residents will not have to pay for “heating” the street, which inevitably occurs when the windows are open.

Finally, residents of electric houses do not need to write out meter readings and then put them in a box or dictate them over the phone to the management company. All readings are collected remotely: the service organization itself will calculate everything and send an up-to-date receipt. Ultimately, savings will depend on the residents themselves: with a competent approach and timely adjustment of the heating level, payments can be reduced by 15%.

In general, the environmental component is taking an increasingly important place in the construction of new houses in Akademicheskiy. This trend has long existed in the West, but for Russia such an approach remains unusual. Electric houses allow you to wisely use available resources, not waste heat and water and not overpay for utilities - so that not only people, but also the environment appreciate new approach for the construction of buildings.

Some features of a smart city could be found in different houses and areas throughout Russia - but only these solutions put together form a truly comfortable and pleasant living environment in which you want to live. The developer plans to equip housing with remote control devices, thanks to which a person will be able to give commands to his own home from afar. For example, turn on the lighting from the elevator - without entering the apartment, using a button on the remote control. Simply because a smart city will never stop developing - even when builders build the last house.

    The growth of industry at the beginning of the last century led to the fact that large enterprises became city-forming enterprises. In the new century, this trend seems to only continue to develop.

    Today, many futurists believe that there will be some kind of revival of the feudal system in the form of corporation cities. The corporation will oblige residents of such settlements to sign contracts tying them to the city for the rest of their lives. In fact, even now in large global concerns, employees are given interest-free loans for housing built by the company itself, provided that they work until full payment is made.

    In their 2011 book, The Progress Principle, Harvard professors Stephen Kramer and Teresa Amabile studied the work of people at different companies and found that the key to employee engagement is a sense of progress. Moreover, we need to help a person not only achieve progress, but also experience this progress in himself and his own environment.

    This path has long been followed by many Silicon Valley companies, which have long been involved in the race for the best minds. Google, Facebook, Apple, sparing no expense, they come up with company cities for their employees, in which super-benefits are offered in exchange for high-quality 24-hour work.

    These cities, albeit in miniature, fully correspond to the popular concepts in which futurologists depict the cities of the future: environmentally friendly, multi-cultural, conveniently organized and living in their own “futuropolis” self-government.

    Practical and economical

    New campus in Menlo Park, where Facebook moved from bustling Palo Alto a year ago, cut off from the rest of the city by a six-lane highway. Employees (and there are more than two thousand of them here) had to spend time traveling to the city center to get to a store or hairdresser.

    And then Mark Zuckerberg decided to build his own city with his own prices, turning six abandoned streets into an ultra-modern town. Journalists Los Angeles Times They have already dubbed him Zuckerburg.

    In the 21st century town, employees navigate on fashionable two-wheeled ripsticks past free restaurants, dry cleaners, laundries and hairdressers reserved only for them. There is everything here for every taste: excellent espresso, pastry shops, New York pizza, burritos and nachos, Japanese Fuki Sushi, barbecues and free fast food trucks throughout campus. The courtyard where everyone gathers every week to chat with Zuckerberg has opened massage parlor and a real family hairdresser, and a bicycle shop and clinic are preparing to open nearby.

    Facebook This is far from the first company to set up its front office as a small “company city.” Long before Facebook company SAS equipped its territory with workshops for sewing clothes, calculating taxes, repairing cars, shoes, jewelry and watches. And Steve Jobs practiced the ideas of a “family office” back in the 1980s. In 2013, according to Jobs' project, a real futuropolis will be laid in the city of Cupertino. - office city Apple, designed for 12,000 employees. Designed by the legendary Norman Foster, it will generate its own electricity, and the buildings on campus will be connected by a subway and underground tunnels to leave all 40 hectares of land for green spaces. The project will be a prototype for the "city of the future" Masdar, which is currently under construction in the United Arab Emirates.

    Google, spurred on by a competitor this summer Facebook, also submitted an application for construction around its California headquarters for additional infrastructure. Today the company spends enormous amounts of money to provide transportation for its workers from San Francisco and its suburbs. Therefore, from a logistics point of view, placing the full production cycle in one place is a very reasonable solution.

    In such towns, absolutely all residents work for the corporation, and children born here are taught from an early age the skills necessary for successful work in the same company. The concept of such cities involves a network of industrial buildings combined with residential buildings. Employees do not need to spend a lot of time getting to their workplace, and all infrastructure is in close proximity.

    Environmental friendliness

    Perhaps the main trend in city designXXIcentury - environmental friendliness. For example, the roofs of all buildings Google, Apple And Facebook equipped with solar panels. And in servicing their data centers, all three corporations abandoned electricity in favor of alternative energy sources.

    But in our example with IT specialists, the matter is not only and not so much in attention to the problems of environmental pollution. It benefits them.

    The American state of Oregon is the most big place information storage. Data centers are located here Facebook, Google And Apple. The state's popularity among IT-giants is explained by lower taxes there for high-tech companies located in Oregon. Thus, the state government decided to improve the economic situation. Low electricity rates and reduced taxes have made this area a tasty pie for corporations. Considering that the capacity of storage facilities alone Google estimated at 220 megawatts (comparable to the consumption of an entire single state), one can imagine the bills companies have to pay. Therefore, their interest in alternative energy does not seem strange to anyone. If solar panels or wind turbines can save millions of dollars, why not? Although Mark Zuckerberg says that he does not want to “just own a successful company - it is much more interesting to significantly influence the world,” he knows how to count money no worse than the good old industrial monopolists. It’s just that in the 20th century, in order to become rich, you had to invent something or be the first to start producing it, but in the 21st century this is not enough - you need to be a strategist who knows how to work for the long term and look into the future. This means changing society and its environment.

    As for “real” big cities, here ecology is placed at the forefront not only by architects, but also by supranational institutions.

    Recently, at the World Urban Forum in Naples, the UN for the first time called on national governments around the world to rebuild everything Largest cities. The annual Habitat report of the UN Human Settlements Program clearly states: either megacities must buy their greenhouse gas emission quotas or be rebuilt to meet new environmental requirements.

    Perestroika is about making megacities economical, developing public transport as opposed to private cars, and building multi-storey buildings for the maximum number of families. Because, as the report states, “the most densely populated areas have low level greenhouse gas emissions per person.” That is, for the first time in history, UN experts actually recognized the American dream- cozy house in a green suburb - global threat to humanity. And new experimental ecotowns were set as an example for all dirty megacities. The brightest are, of course, the Arabian Masdar, the Canadian Dockside Green and the Brazilian Curitiba.

    We are from the future?

    So, if the classic industrial image was a smoking red brick factory, then the image of the post-industrial information era is a transparent glass palace in an open field, necessarily served by alternative energy. Or, as an option, a fashion studio in a former warehouse building. If the classic 20th-century industrial company was huge, hierarchical and localized, in a dispersed world where a pair of trousers can be made from components produced in five countries, cities have become hubs for the world's flows of people, goods, information and capital.

    In any case, the utopias proposed by different futurologists may differ in details, but the key aspects will be the same: fullness of life, comfortable housing, access to amenities.

    In a changing world where the knowledge economy is flourishing, meeting the demands of knowledge workers requires urban transformation of the city. It doesn’t matter whether there will be a technology park there or not. The meaning of futuropolis-in creating innovations primarily social. And this presupposes anti-bureaucratic self-government. The role of the state here is decreasing, the boundaries are blurring. New universities can be more creative than prestigious ones because they simply have nothing to lose. Cities cut off from the main line of development will more often than others begin to demonstrate innovative qualities in order to survive. And “Zuckerburg” on its outskirts of Menlo Park is only small example. That's how it was in different periods time with Los Angeles, and Memphis, and Detroit.

    Are Russian cities ready for such changes? We already had the experience of post-war ZATOs, strictly isolated from the environment. There were Academic Towns with the obligatory condition that housing, supplies, and payment were better than around them. And the idea of ​​an ecopolis as a settlement of the future was considered quite seriously in the USSR in the late 80s, but never found application due to troubled times.

    Many will say that it’s not for us to play with silicone spillikins and eco-villages - anyway, we won’t catch up with the States. But not everyone thinks so.

    It is not possible to return a scientist who has lived in Silicon Valley for more than five years to his homeland, - says Timur Paltashev, a scientist from St. Petersburg, professor at Northwestern Polytechnic University (California), who worked in the American Silicon Valley for more than 10 years. But It is quite possible to build a technology park that is modern by world standards in Russia:

    Even if you start from scratch, all you need is political will, qualified specialists and, of course, money. Example - Taiwan. At the end of the 1970s, it experienced stagnation in traditional industries, and the “brain drain” was extremely high. And then the government decided to create a scientific and industrial technological park, the purpose of which is to develop microelectronics and production electronic devices. But since it was practically impossible to build a solid multi-level company in a short time, the emphasis was placed on the incubation and development of small and medium-sized engineering companies in one geographical location. A tolerant attitude towards failures when creating new products and technologies was also important. The next chance was always given, since a negative result and the experience gained was valued no less than a positive one. This is how the now famous Hsinchu Technopark appeared. It has become a concentration of several hundred electronic companies.

    To create a successful corporate city, the scientist believes, in addition to political will, you need: a university, communications, a creative atmosphere, isolation of the chosen location and reasonable prices for comfortable real estate.

    Tatar officials are now creatively dealing with the real estate of their future Innopolis. They are building their city of the future near Kazan, after first getting acquainted with the innovative projects of American universities, traveling to Pittsburgh to gain local experience, and opening an Innopolis office in California to attract major global players in the field IT. The “city of the future” with all the infrastructure, diverse housing and complied with eco-standards ideally plans to accommodate 155 thousand residents - IT-specialists with families.

    “Housing in Innopolis will be provided on affordable rental terms. For now we are not considering the option of selling. If this housing is put on the open market, we will slightly break the concept of this city,” says Anton Grachev, curator of the Innopolis project.

    It turns out that the trend dictated by progress has not bypassed Russia? And even though we are still confused about the concepts of “technopark” and “futuropolis,” science fiction, the one that is, in the words of Syd Mead, “reality ahead of schedule,” is gradually adapting to this schedule.

    The country already has a federal energy saving program, supports all UN environmental initiatives, and pilot sites are starting in different regions, including the Moscow region. And the approach of investors, on whom the future of our cities also depends, is changing.

    Investor Ulvi Kasimov, for example, believes that the cities of the future will be built by people of the future, for themselves, their needs and demands, who are really interested in living in conditions of progress and changing the space of their habitat in Russian conditions:

    “A person who lives in Russia has a certain set of problems that he is forced to solve every day. Problems of the same type: with relatives, with work, with children, with leisure, with neighbors. I have created a detailed list of such problems, and I want to create a space - a corporate city - where all of them will be solved through architecture. Any human need can be satisfied through a special architectural space.”

    It’s up to us to choose whether to live “on the other side of stability” or create our own stability in conditions of continuous transformation. After all, concluding with the words of Kasimov: “if we consider the planet as one large construction site, all the most profitable places for world construction are already occupied. Russia, by analogy, is a good residential area. And it makes sense to develop this area.”

    Many large companies contract with businesses that supply specially equipped vans so employees can get their hair cut on site. But few people can boast of their own hairdresser.

    British architect Norman Foster is known for such projects as the Millau Viaduct, the Reichstag Dome and City Hall in London.

    The “smart” city of Masdar, designed for 50 thousand inhabitants, is based on wind and solar energy, on maximum mobility of residents, but without traffic jams. Masdar will be the first city on Earth without cars and with zero emissions. The new vehicle will be similar to a horizontal elevator. Controlled by computer, it will allow people to get anywhere in the city in as soon as possible. The construction of the city of the future is planned to be completed around 2030.

    Dockside Green is a settlement within the Canadian port of Victoria. This carbon neutral ecotown is due to be completed in 2013. The Dockside Green project involves the construction of environmentally friendly residential buildings, a biomass gasification plant, office and commercial space of more than 30 thousand square meters, a restaurant, cafe and bakery. Residents of the “ecotown” will travel only by bicycles and hybrid cars, and all city waste will be completely recycled.

    It has the best bus system in the world. Buses operate on the metro principle: first, passengers pass through the turnstiles to the bus station - into a glass cylinder raised above the ground to such a height that the floor of the station and the bus are at the same level. A bus approaches, all doors open in concert, letting passengers through - no more than 30 seconds are spent disembarking and boarding, after which the bus rushes along an open road. All other vehicles are prohibited from entering the bus routes. Cars are not popular in Curitiba, and traffic jams in the city have not been heard of for many years.

    Innovative high-rise buildings with electric heating, climate control and an air purification system have appeared in a new district of Yekaterinburg

    In the Urals, they began to introduce elements of a “smart city” - a unique living environment that takes care of residents day and night. The first blocks built according to the new standards are located in Akademichesky - this district of Yekaterinburg is being built by the Kortros company, known for its innovative approach to housing construction. A distinctive feature of a “smart city” is engineering and planning solutions that can make the lives of citizens easier even before they even realize it. A new word in “smart city” technologies has become electric houses - buildings in which electricity is responsible for all basic processes.

    What is an electrode

    Electrodom is an apartment building with an individual supply and exhaust ventilation system and electric heating. In practice, this means that the electrohouse does not have the usual heating radiators - heated floors are responsible for heating the room. A silicone insulated cable is used as a heat source, which is laid on a monolithic floor slab and protected with a screed.

    The heating is turned on at the request of the apartment owners: the system will be able to heat the room as much as necessary at the moment. Heated floors work at any time of the year - which means that the residents of the electric house are prepared even for unexpected frosts that may come ahead of time: when it gets cold, it will be enough to just press a button.

    Intelligent climate control allows you to regulate the air temperature in each individual room. This mechanism will be useful for families in which people live with different ideas about a comfortable environment: now the living room can be made cooler, and the bedroom warmer. Or vice versa. Another advantage: residents of an electric house do not depend on the whims of utility workers; in such houses, the temperature is determined personally by the owner of the apartment.

    Other processes are also electrified - for example, instead of standard hot water supply, electric water heaters are provided in the electrohouse, which ensure an uninterrupted supply of hot water to apartments. While other houses may suffer from a month-long downtime without water, residents of electric houses simply do not notice the schedule of utilities - in two- and three-room apartments there is a separate water heater in each of the two bathrooms.

    Finally, the electric houses have a forced individual ventilation system with warm air recovery. Typically, high-rise buildings in Russia are built with natural ventilation - this means that there are ventilation shafts only in the kitchen and bathrooms. In all other rooms, fresh air comes only from the windows, and in order to ventilate the room, people have to open the windows even in severe frost.

    The forced individual ventilation system with warm air recovery provides ventilation and additional air purification, and also reduces energy consumption for space heating, providing 5% savings compared to apartments without recuperators. The ventilation unit removes “old” air from the “dirty” areas from the apartment, which passes through a plate heat exchanger, and then gives off its heat to fresh air, purified using a filter system. Then the warmed and purified air enters the apartment. Additionally, there is no need to open windows for ventilation - and dust from the street does not enter the premises. Such a system allows residents not only to breathe clean and fresh air, but also significantly reduce thermal energy consumption for heating. In addition, residents of the electric house may not have to think about unpleasant odors and street air pollution. Smart technologies will make the atmosphere in the house not only warm, but also clean.

    Initially, two new generation houses were built in Akademicheskiy - one has forced ventilation with warm air recovery, the other has electric heating and water heaters. After the Kortros company realized that the experiment was a success, and customers appreciated the innovative proposal, the developer began building two more electric houses - this time, all technical innovations are present in them in full.

    How can this help you save money?

    Fixed payments for heating, which are familiar to Russians, mean that a resident of a standard house pays the same amount regardless of the quality of the service. It doesn’t matter whether the house is warm, cold or hot - the result on the receipt is still the same. Individual heating of premises in a “smart home” allows you to calculate payments fairly: apartment residents will pay exactly as much as they used themselves.

    In practice, this means that in the event of a long absence (for example, during a holiday), the heating can be reduced - and this will immediately affect the bill. Cool weather lovers can simply turn down the heat and watch their bills go down. In one apartment, you can preset several time ranges during which the temperature will be fixed at a specific value: for example, from midnight to six in the morning the apartment can be heated to +23 degrees, and from six to nine in the morning - to +26.

    The second advantage is related to supply and exhaust ventilation. The system allows you not to open windows for ventilation - therefore, residents will not have to pay for “heating” the street, which inevitably occurs when the windows are open.

    Finally, residents of electric houses do not need to write out meter readings and then put them in a box or dictate them over the phone to the management company. All readings are collected remotely: the service organization itself will calculate everything and send an up-to-date receipt. Ultimately, savings will depend on the residents themselves: with a competent approach and timely adjustment of the heating level, payments can be reduced by 15%.

    Why Academichesky is a “smart” district

    A “smart city” is not only about houses, but also about everything that is located between them. In Akademichesky, the district infrastructure will make it possible to bring the familiar urban environment as close as possible to the latest technological standards. For example, using a 24-hour video surveillance system, you can monitor the entire area and surrounding areas. Thoughtful placement of cameras helps to avoid blind spots and view each point from at least two angles - which means parents can safely let their children go outside. Video surveillance affects not only courtyards and streets, but also entrances, elevators and even exits to the roof - with such control, offenders simply have nowhere to hide.

    Bonus to standard video surveillance: any resident of Akademicheskiy has access to the “walk home” service, thanks to which you can track a person’s entire path. Thus, parents can see every step of their child, and late guests will not be afraid of getting lost in an unfamiliar area. The results can already be verified: during the construction of Akademichesky, not a single serious crime occurred in the district, and the situation with regard to individual offenses was 11 times lower than the average for Yekaterinburg.

    In a “smart city” there are no trifles, so even garbage collection here is as convenient as possible for residents. Garbage cans are installed in isolated rooms on the ground floors - this is how the problem is solved unpleasant odor and wind that could blow light debris throughout the neighborhood. Instead, at Akademicheskiy, waste is removed every day - this way the yard remains clean without additional effort.

    In general, the environmental component is taking an increasingly important place in the construction of new houses in Akademicheskiy. This trend has long existed in the West, but for Russia such an approach remains unusual. Electric houses allow you to wisely use available resources, not waste heat and water and not overpay for utilities - so that not only people, but also the environment will appreciate the new approach to the construction of buildings.

    Individual features of a “smart city” could be found in different houses and districts throughout Russia, but only when taken together, these solutions form a truly comfortable and pleasant living environment in which one would like to live. The developer’s plans are to equip the housing with remote control devices and be able to give commands to one’s own home from afar - for example, turn on the lighting from the elevator without entering the apartment, using a button on the remote control. Simply because the “smart city” will never stop developing, even when the builders build the last house.
