The SUA project has been able to apply technologies and methods to three different buildings in Hanoi over the period 2022-2025, generating data that will be synthesised at the end of the project and fully incorporated into the transfer model to show potential for optimisation in the development of smart urban areas. 

Some of the technologies will be used for the first time in Vietnam, allowing studies to be conducted in the subtropical climate, as well as demonstrating their practical application on site in real buildings. 

The holistic approach to developing such systems at the building level allows for a rethinking of traditional approaches and offers, albeit at an early stage, a potential for expansion that has so far only been partially applied to high-rise buildings and urban neighbourhoods in megacities.  

The schematic diagram below illustrates the scaling process over the course of the project. The project started with the big vision of Tonkin 2, scaled down sub-objectives of the project to a smaller building, TestBed 01, transferred the fully developed objectives to the TestBed 02 building based on the experience gained, and finally applied them again to Tonkin 2. The final results will be presented in a separate transfer model.

Down below more information about TestBed 01 are available.
