Verdiem Surveyor from Aptean helps accurately measure PC and Mac energy consumption, enforce policies for greater energy efficiency, and optimize savings. Verdiem Surveyor delivers the most accurate data on IT device utilization. The patented solution combines keyboard, mouse, CPU, print network and disk activity to build a highly accurate model of device utilization that is the only independently verified and validated solution.
Crowdsourced electricity forecasting is an incentive mechanism for end-users to forecast their own short- or long-term electricity demand (e.g., through a smartphone app). By combining large numbers of such forecasts, utilities can plan their operations more efficiently.
SmartBay Ireland manages the national marine test facility for the development of innovative products and services for the global maritime sector. This includes the trial and validation of novel marine sensors, prototype equipment and the collection and dissemination of marine data to national and international users of the facility. The Marine Institute deployed a number of new sensor platforms in thebay to gather and distribute near-r eal- time data about environmental conditions, pollution levels and marine life.
The purpose of the project was to find out which technologies and methodologies are practical when it comes to rendering monumental buildings. The shared office building, De Groene Bocht, was a part of this pilot. De Groene Bocht is a cooperative of complementary organisations that are frontrunners in sustainable innovation.
The Array of Things (AoT) is a network of interactive, modular sensor boxes around Chicago collecting real-time data on the city’s environment, infrastructure, and activity for research and public use.
Project Summary: Located near the El Paso International Airport, 16 EddyGT wind turbines line the highway, helping to showcase the city's growing commitment to sustainability. UGE and partner Better Living Technology LLC were involved with the project from the early design stages through installation. The turbines are mounted atop a custom-fabricated steel tower, fabricated by local metal shop Caid Industries and designed by Vicki Scuri, to complement the shape of the turbines and create an effect that instantly makes the turbines stand out on the skyline.
The control system supports the unused possibilities of street light systems so it synthetizes in one coordinated unit the saving and development elements. In the possibilities of intelligent control system each element may operate individually or grouped form. The system is feasible for optimal cost-effective operation. Significant savings can be made on the minor roads at night by partial lighting operation or with brightness control. Depending on the system abilities immediate 25-30 percent savings can be ensured while the residents' comfort level is not reduced.
400 employee strong operations center (50 operators) would consolidate 30 municipal agencies (ranging from emergency services like fire and medical to sanitation to public transportation) into a single, integrated command center that can monitor weather, traffic, and aspects of the city and react swiftly and effectively in face of emergencies and crises and would do so through cutting edge technology.
In many municipalities, provinces and regions, local sustainable energy provisions have already been set in motion or realised. Sustainable (collective) energy provisions are set to play an even greater role in the composition of an area. However, new initiatives encounter numerous problems in the existing market structure, a framework determined by relevant legislation and regulations, the commercial energy market and contract market. Such legal frameworks often prove restrictive in regards to integrating the environmental and energy domains.
For guests visiting the city there is an attractive and comfortable application for all essential tourist information and in the life of the community the updated information can become a driving force for the local citizens. City services provided by the municipality or other institutions has an institutional list with contacts and office opening hours. The application users can report various events, anomalies (potholes, broken street lights, broken pipes, etc.) with their smartphones giving exact loaction, photo and personal contact.
