There is no pathway to Net Zero without the near-complete decarbonisation of heat in housing, as Scottish Government and others have made clear. Data-driven innovations have an important role to play here, supporting: more efficient diagnosis of stock conditions; more rapid planning of retrofit measures; and more effective evaluation of subsequent performance. This event brings together stakeholders in the Glasgow city-region involved both in using sensor technologies to produce data-driven insights and in the development of retrofit strategies and programmes. We aim to share current work-in-progress and discuss opportunities for new collaborations to support the achievement of decarbonisation goals.
This half-day event is hosted by:
xRI, an Innovate UK-funded business that has developed a pioneering Built Environment Scanning System and associated Machine Learning pipelines to enable delivery of net zero ambitions faster, at higher confidence and lower cost; and
the Urban Big Data Centre at the University of Glasgow, an Economic and Social Research Council-funded research centre pioneering the use of data from sensing and other technologies for urban planning and management.
