Big blue bubble -volume of total water on the planet (salt and fresh water), to scale.
Middle blue ball -total amount of fresh water on the planet.
Little blue dot –fresh water currently accessible to humans.
As the planet warms, how much water will be left?

Data storage in the cloud
Wireless communications
Connectivity available
Low powered devices (some)
Cheap sensors – enables high volume applications
Clever control – e.g. sensor off until event happens
Over the air upgrades
Remote control of devices

Smart Grid Smart meters Smart homes Smart buildings Smart transport Smart phone Smart people Smart bins Smart apps Smart whatever….

Now we have 2-3 connected devices each
In a few years we will be used to everything being connected
Measure, sense, analyse, control, adjust, automate
Now we laugh at old phones
The next gen will laugh at only having one connected device!

Optimise, preventative maintenance, save money, create new business models, new revenue streamsWhat would it feel like to work in a smart office?
You approach the front door, a sensor reads your ID tag and opens the door for you.
As you walk across the foyer you receive a text - which meeting room to go to.
The lift doors open as you approach - lift automatically stops at the correct floor.
The conference room is already lit, at the correct temperature, ready for the start of your meeting.
Your conference call is dialled in and the computer has uploaded the correct presentation.
When your meeting is finished, the sensors detect the room is empty - lights and heating switch off automatically. The door is locked behind you.
Now you receive a text allocating you a hot desk in your preferred office area.
The sensor detects the desk is occupied when you sit down and it is marked as unavailable on the reservation system.
The receptionist is informed you are in the office and which desk so calls and visitors can be directed.

Eg smart loo (really!!)◦ Now - we clean every hour on the hour◦ Monitor how many go in to facility. Clean
when 100 people have used it◦ Save cleaning staff time and consumables◦ Better customer experience (always clean!)
Smart bins◦ Only collect when >80% full?◦ Recycled materials sort themselves?◦ Collectors take optimised route
Smart heating/cooling Smart assets – what would they say if
they could talk? Smart transport
◦ How many seats left in each carriage as train pulls into station
Care for the elderly Pollution monitoring

Get communications infrastructure in place
Low power devices/energy harvesting
What can we do on the back of ◦ Smart lighting?
◦ Or the smart meter rollout?
Shared infrastructure
Interoperability
Co-operation/open source
