[MUSIC PLAYING] SPEAKER 1: We started with a collection of collection of energy related data. So our users are scattered in over 80 countries in the world. Even the old surfaces of the buildings look similar. The energy consumption level varied significantly. And we did a survey about our users in this over 80 countries. We found that if you do not have the insulator and are of general level insulator or of very good insulator, the data really varied significantly. I was shocked. And so starting from then, we started to have a 20 centimeter insulator to keep the walls inside that building. The energy data is mostly invisible but is most important, especially the building energy consumption. So 15 years ago, we found it was extremely important. And besides, the building related to energy consumption takes a very big proportion among all the consumption of energy. So if we increase the efficiency of the building consumption, and that efficiency increase can be very high. We now have a high requirement for the comfortness of the temperature in the building. So to reduce the energy consumption of the buildings can become a very or even the most important measure for protecting the environment and the climate. BILL MCDONOUGH: I think what we're seeing here is some of the most advanced approach. one of the most advanced approaches to this. And it definitely will become part of the new normal. SPEAKER 2: Have you used any of this in your designs? BILL MCDONOUGH: Yes. SPEAKER 2: Broad stuff? BILL MCDONOUGH: Not yet, not broad, but similar things. We're looking at all kinds of detection, for example, for air quality. SPEAKER 2: And one last quick question. That one point that you made when you gave your presentation the other day was that this can be done with no added cost. Can this be done with no added cost in the sorts of designs that you're doing? BILL MCDONOUGH: Yes, it gets built into the qualification of the building. It's not a crazy thing at all.

waste collection off energy related data. So our users are scattered in over 80 countries in the world. Even though surface itself, the buildings look similar. The energy consumption level varied a significant today and the way he does survey about our users in the over 80 countries. We found that if you do not have so into later and all general level insulator all, they're a good insulator that they have really very significantly. I was shocked and so talking from then waste Arteta too, have ah, 20 centimeters insulator to keep the warm inside inside a beauty, the energy data is most invisible, but it's most important, especially the beauty energy consumption. So 15 years ago, we found it was extremely important and besides, the shooting related energy consumption takes a very big proportion among all the consumption of energy. So if we increase the efficiency of the beauty and consumption and that efficiency increase can be very hi, we know have ah ah high requirement for the comfort of the temperature in the beauty. So to reduce the energy consumption of the beauties can become a very or even the most important measure for protecting the environment. and the climb mater. I think what we're seeing here is some of the most advanced, um, approach when the most advanced approaches to this and it definitely will become part of the new normal. Have you used any of this in your designs? Broad stuff? Not yet not broad but similar things. We're looking at all kinds of detection, for example, for air quality. One last question that one point that you made when you give your presentation the other day was that this could be done with no added cost. Can this be done with no added cost in the sorts of designs that you're doing? Yes, it gets built into the qualification of the building. It's not a crazy thing at all.
