INNOVATION

ACCIONA works closely with the R&D&I department at the ACCIONA Group, collaborating on diverse projects aimed at designing applications for advanced technology in pursuit of sustainable development.

INNOVATION

At ACCIONA, we see innovation as a catalyst for change and continuous improvement.
Our growth is founded on leadership and technical excellence, allowing us to be more and more ambitious in pushing for enhanced productivity, exceptional products and services and a standout experience for clients and employees.

Our commitment to innovation keeps us looking forward, always seeking out new construction processes, materials, equipment and facilities that add value to our developments and property assets. It’s what drives us to rise to the challenge of delivering higher quality, more sustainable buildings with greater agility and speed. We believe that technological RD&I is critical to our future success. For our clients, it promises to outline new paths to an unprecedented quality of life.

INDUSTRIALISATION

ACCIONA’s developments embrace the benefits of industrialised construction. Factory manufacture allows for fine-grained, continuous monitoring, improved traceability at all stages and a high-quality finished product with a faster turnaround.

One of the greatest advantages of industrial processes is their contribution to sustainability:

Industrial manufacturing is much more precise and controlled, leaving only a fraction of the waste associated with conventional methods. Materials are used more efficiently, with minimum surplus, and any remnants can be recovered and reused.
In the operational phase, clients benefit from superior quality and durability, lighter maintenance and an improved after-sales experience.
And, when the moment comes for demolition or refurbishment, materials with environmental product declarations are easier to reuse.

SMART HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEMS

Our new homes are fitted with smart home systems with multiple benefits, all designed to take the friction out of everyday life. The right technology can make a big difference to the comfort, safety, efficiency and sustainability of your home.

OTHER TECHNOLOGY

Mixed reality
We create immersive virtual experiences that let clients explore our developments without setting foot on site. This cutting-edge technology renders a detailed portrayal of each space within the property, providing an accurate, well-rounded impression of its design and features.

Robotics
We use point clouds and drones to carry out fast and accurate topographical surveys during the construction phase. These technologies not only make optimum use of time and resources, but they are also capable of greater precision and detail, helping us hone the project at every stage.

3D printing
3D printing is a powerful ally in our quest for smarter, more creative construction.
We aim to introduce this technology to all of our projects to enhance agility and make the most of innovative solutions.

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

BIM
BIM (Building Information Modelling) is now a staple tool for improving collaboration, graphic representation and accuracy in development. By compiling all information relating to the project into a single digital model, accessible to all actors, BIM makes it easier to spot conflicts at an early stage and displays changes in real time, thus reducing the scope for error. Simulations and in-depth analyses can be used to fine-tune both the design and its execution, so projects can be delivered faster, more sustainably and at a lower overall cost. With all documentation and project data together in one place, maintenance and project management becomes simpler and more efficient, all the way to the end of the building’s useful life.

AI
We want to harness the benefits of AI to optimise project management and automate repetitive tasks, freeing up time and energy for growth and innovation. AI can help us predict trends and make more informed decisions, leading to greater competitiveness and innovation in the sector.

Enerbrain
This pilot project allows users to control a building’s HVAC systems by leveraging AI algorithms. Enerbrain is an end-to-end solution that processes environmental data relayed by proprietary sensors. It monitors electricity use and communicates automatically with the BMS to maintain thermal comfort and sharpen energy performance.

Hobeen
Hobeen is a smart energy monitoring system being piloted by ACCIONA. The application keeps track of a household’s water, gas and electricity use and coordinates all other smart home systems through a single platform, allowing users to scale down their bills and their carbon footprint from the comfort of their living room.

Architechtures
The pilot project consists of an innovative GenIA-assisted building design platform. This tool allows initial feasibility studies on plots of land, iteration between different site solutions and evaluation of architectural options with accurate feasibility and cost data. By automating processes, it significantly reduces lead times and provides detailed plans along with a 3D model. In addition, it maximises the profitability of a site by automating calculations, ensuring compliance with planning requirements, analysing costs and generating multiple design alternatives, thereby improving efficiency and accuracy in decision making.
