Las Vegas to implement digital twin solution to cut carbon emissions

Digital Twin provider Cityzenith and an IoT specialist Terbine are jointly developing a technology solution to transition Las Vegas to zero carbon emissions.

As part of this initiative, a significant area of downtown Las Vegas will leverage advanced 5G networking, plus IoT and digital twin technology to improve mobility, air quality, noise pollution, water management, and emissions from major buildings.

Las Vegas CIO Michael Sherwood said: “Digital twins are rapidly becoming vital to how cities are run. Now in Las Vegas we will have a city-scale digital twin that is driven by the physical environment, and ultimately letting us control key systems through it.

“This will give us new levels of insights and control to benefit city planners, residents, and businesses. We’re setting the benchmark for cities around the world to become smarter, efficient, safer and more sustainable,” Sherwood said.

Cityzenith will provide the project’s digital twin technology as part of its “Clean Cities – Clean Future” initiative to implement its SmartWorldOS Digital Twin platform in major world cities to drive down urban emissions and significantly improve cost efficiencies for local building owners.

Las Vegas is the second city to participate in the Clean Cities – Clean Future initiative after New York, with Phoenix and several other major cities expected to follow soon.

Cityzenith CEO Michael Jansen said: “We are excited to partner with the forward-leaning city of Las Vegas in this ground-breaking partnership. We are confident that this seminal project will demonstrate the combined power of Digital Twin and IoT technology working together to transform mobility, walkability, and emissions/air pollution.

“Among our many goals, we are keen to demonstrate how the Las Vegas Digital Twin project will help local building owners of any scale dramatically reduce operating costs and emissions for little to no investment,” Jansen said.

Project partner Terbine brings together and contextualizes IoT data from local government agencies, building operators, transportation systems, vehicle manufacturers and more, to provide the high volumes of sensor information needed by the urban Digital Twin.

Terbine CEO David Knight said: “Transitioning our home city into a clean, sustainable, and more attractive place to live and visit is a fantastic opportunity, and we’re very excited to work with the City of Las Vegas and Cityzenith. What we’re pioneering here represents a template for how other cities can enable sustainability and a better quality of life for their citizens.”
