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.

1. Using data as a weapon
to tackle climate change

2. How might we footprint
everything on Earth?

3. What if
… we aggregated the world's
standards into a single platform?

4. AMEE structures environmental standards into a Data Science Service
Data Science
Continuously aggregate, Millions of
structure, codify, QA, models and
and link data models. answers
- Carbon footprinting
- Energy & emissions monitoring
- Energy Efficiency
- Compliance reporting
- Risk management
- Audit and verification
- Lifecycle & input / output analysis

5. Easy, free access to Environmental Intelligence – Everywhere
Open data
Accessible
Full provenance
Addressable
Updated
AskAMEE is a computable search engine that finds and calculates emissions
– right from the search box –

6. AMEE provides easy access to Environmental Intelligence – Everywhere

7. What if
… we enabled any consumption
or activity data to be captured
from any system, software or sensor?

8. Environmental Intelligence for 1.8 million UK homes
Personalised efficiency and reduction tips
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 benchmarking
Example:
National analysis of
appliance efficiency
from 500,000
homes

9. Environmental Intelligence integrated with any sensor
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 analysis

10. Embed Environmental Intelligence in building and product design
Impact calculation at
the design stage

11. How are we going to make
environmental intelligence mainstream?

12. 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)

13. But environmental risks are increasing,
and are financially relevant.

14. What if
… we created an environmental score
for every company on Earth?
- 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

15. 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

16. An environmental score for every company in the UK
2.8 million
companies scored
(launch Q4)
Open data
- accessible
- transparent
- addressable
- updated
