The Carbon Cost of Everything

Embedded Emissions: The Carbon Cost of EveryTHING.

Manufacturing anything involves taking random combinations of atoms (usually manifested as a raw material) and processing them into a useful product. This takes huge amounts of energy, and causes lots of emissions.

Heating And Global Warming: Are We Burning Down The House?

Heating is the most significant carbon-emitting activity in buildings. Accounting for the coal, oil and gas used directly and indirectly via electricity generation for heating, 65% of all heating equipment produces greenhouse gases in some form. While the trend over the past decade is moving in the right direction, the damage has been done.

Binging? Diving into the Metaverse? Buying NFTs? Do you even care about the environment bro?

The Uptime Institute calculated that each time Cristiano Ronaldo posts a picture to Instagram, it takes 36 MWh to distribute it to all his followers. That’s the amount of power consumed by ten British households on average in a year.

Have we grown too comfortable with air conditioning?

Air conditioning is the fastest-growing energy segment in building end-use. Through upstream emissions at the power generation source, their rise in usage contributes to global warming that pushes us to seek chilled relief. How do we set the thermostat to sustainable?

The evolving role of simulation in the pharmaceutical industry

The pharmaceutical industry is no stranger to adapting to constantly changing pressures, both on a plant and industry-wide scale. Failure…

How to get the best out of your wind tunnel testing

Learn best practices to enhance the efficiency of a wind tunnel testing campaign and ensure the best aero-acoustic performance for vehicles.

Digital Debunking: Can Simulation Make Hypersonic Travel Commercially Viable?

Hypersonic travel is associated with speeds more than five times the speed of sound within Earth’s atmosphere. Today, engineers have achieved air travel reaching over 7 times

Altair Industrial Design Series Part One: From Pre-Concept to Manufacturing

If you were going to build a new house, you’d want a team of expert architects on your side that could conjure your dreams, lay them into

Fatigue Challenge of Additive Manufacturing

The Fatigue Challenge of Additive Manufacturing: A Simulation-Based Approach

Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D-printing, allows the production of complex components layer by layer, using only the material you need. Siemens Digital Industries Software offers simulation-based solutions to predict and optimize Additive Manufacturing product performance.
