Bristol energy initiative among UN’s ‘Projects to Watch’
A Bristol energy reduction initiative has been picked as one of the “Projects to Watch” by the United Nations, reports Energy Live News.
The announcement was made as part of the Big Data Climate Challenge, aimed at exploring how big data can be applied to global development and humanitarian issues related to climate change.
Bristol City Council’s SmartSpaces scheme is part of an EU-wide consortium and is part funded by the European Commission’s ICT Policy Support Programme, which is investigating ways to reduce energy in public buildings using ICT.
