DESCRIPTION
Using data as a weapon to tackle climate change. I describe some of AMEE's journey: through open data aggregation and distribution, accessibility, provenance, and structure. But better data isn't enough - no one (well, few) really cares about the science or the technology we need to engage with stakeholders to provide meaningful insight and relevance to their business.TRANSCRIPT
AMEE structures environmental standards into a Data Science Service
Data ScienceContinuously aggregate, structure, codify, QA,and link data models.- Carbon footprinting - Energy & emissions monitoring- Energy Efficiency - Compliance reporting- Risk management- Audit and verification - Lifecycle & input / output analysis
Millions of models and answers
Easy, free access to Environmental Intelligence – Everywhere
AskAMEE is a computable search engine that finds and calculates emissions – – right from the search box – right from the search box –
Open dataAccessibleFull provenanceAddressableUpdated
… we enabled any consumption or activity data to be captured
from any system, software or sensor?
What if What if
Working with UK Gov to create world's first national carbon calculator: footprint 1.8 million homes + personalised money-saving tips + national benchmarking+ analytics
Personalised efficiency and reduction tipsPersonalised efficiency and reduction tips
Personalised benchmarkingPersonalised benchmarkingExample:National analysis ofappliance efficiency from 500,000 homes
Environmental Intelligence for 1.8 million UK homes
Automated data-capture from multiple-vendor sensors, by creating an Open-Source Data Standard: AMON
https://github.com/AMEE/AMON
AMON is structured to handle any environmental data(e.g. electricity, temperature, humidity) at any time resolution.
Realtime environmental data collection and analysisRealtime environmental data collection and analysis
Environmental Intelligence integrated with any sensor
Embed Environmental Intelligence in building and product design
Impact calculation at the design stage
1. Climate politics has failed / is too slow 2. A small number of innovators are engaged
3. CSR is too complex/costly for mass-market
4. Environment isn't seen as a financial imperative
(and nobody really cares about the science or the technology)
… we created an environmental scorefor every company on Earth?
What if What if
- Addressable as part of fiduciary duty (risk)- Quantifiable in asset management- Material in procurement and supply-chain assessment- Re-assess definitions of value and growth- Integrate environment into business
Making the environment relevant to businesses
Redefine value to “triple-bottom line” (#TBL)= economic + environmental + social
→ Combine environmental data with global economic data
→ Use supply-chain engagement and procurement as forcing-functions to catalyse engagement
→ Facilitate collaboration, at-scale, between companies
→ Make environmental insight valuable to the CFO
2.8 million
companies scored(launch Q4)
Open data- accessible- transparent- addressable- updated
An environmental score for every company in the UK
