Every municipality faces major, complex challenges such as housing, climate adaptation, a healthy living environment, and the energy transition. These complex themes demand an integrated, intelligent, and data-driven approach. A dynamic digital twin can help make the challenge transparent and tangible.

Healthy area development

During the Public Space trade fair on 23 September 2021, Tygron and NL Green Label  NL Greenlabel – For a measurably sustainable living environment presented this new approach to mapping the sustainable design of an area or developments, including the levers to pull to improve it.

With Tygron's three-dimensional platform, you can turn the dials of such a digital twin yourself and calculate scenarios of developments in areas. In the digital twin, the effects of the environment on health, biodiversity, and climate adaptation can be displayed. This allows you to 'play' with the measure options and find the most ideal mix so that time and resources are well spent. In this approach, the Tygron Platform, with its data integration and HPC computing power, is combined with NL GreenLabel's knowledge of the sustainable living environment. 

In the lecture at the Public Space trade fair, Lodewijk Hoekstra and Florian Witsenburg demonstrated live – based on examples from the audience – how the Tygron platform works and what the benefits are of greening or 'blueing' a location. This is expressed in terms of both ecosystem service values and monetary values.
