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

Using data as a weaponto tackle climate change

@agentGav – http://amee.com

How might we footprinteverything on Earth?

… we aggregated the world'sstandards into a single platform?

What if What if

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

AMEE provides easy access to Environmental Intelligence – Everywhere

… 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

How are we going to makeenvironmental intelligence mainstream?

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)

But environmental risks are increasing, and are financially relevant.

… 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
