COLLABORATING WITH: Collaboration model

GDPR Challenge?

• 2 Years of Energy in DCC = 20,000+ bills.

• If a person spent 15 minutes analysing each bill = 625 days (@ 8 hours per day).

• EnergyElephant performs the same analysis in under a day (for most large users).

ENERGY MANAGEMENT

Results

• Highlights COST anomalies automatically (capacities, unit rates, dead accounts, bill errors, estimated meter readings, tax rates)

• Tracks ENERGY use and CO2 emission trends (per meter, building, site, grouping and organisation wide)

• Measures and verifies energy saving projects (efficiency, renewables, behavioural), and uses smart meter data.

HOW TO MAINSTREAM THIS? DEMONSTRATE THE COST BENEFITS

How to accurately measure and monitor flows across the region?As a region transport planners have little data to understand traffic flows and behaviours. including within the canal cordon area. We do not have up to date data or real time data on movement across strategic areas across the city region.

Requires an overall common framework….

Less about TECH more about PEOPLE and CULTURE and CHANGE

Growing the skills internally a big challenge / PARTNERSHIPS ARE KEY

Breaking down siloes / Common standards / Better Procurement…
