Atos joins AI4Cities, the European project to accelerate the transition of cities to carbon neutrality

Madrid (Spain), Paris (France) – June nine, 2021

Atos joins AI4Cities, a three-year EU-funded challenge which aims to enable 6 European cities and areas accelerate their changeover towards carbon neutrality. This contains: Helsinki (Finland), Amsterdam (Netherlands), Copenhagen (Denmark), Paris Location (France), Stravanger (Norway) and Tallin (Estonia). The synthetic intelligence (AI) alternatives will eventually contribute to the reduction of CO2 in the areas of mobility and electricity, two domains responsible for 82{bcdc0d62f3e776dc94790ed5d1b431758068d4852e7f370e2bcf45b6c3b9404d} of all greenhouse gasoline emissions in European cities.

Atos has been chosen for the Stage 1 of AI4Cities: the pre-business procurement (PCP) method that challenges engineering organizations in the 6 cities and areas to structure, put into action and test ground breaking synthetic intelligence alternatives serving to them to modernize public sector companies and address societal vital challenges. The chosen organizations will, with synthetic intelligence: review travel designs to structure extra efficient routes and schedules, contributing to a a lot scaled-down environmental footprint enhance the use of electric powered motor vehicle charging spots by offering recommendations based mostly on synthetic intelligence and lower the time to examine, program and endorse investments (e.g. for creating renovation). In addition, organizations will get the job done to enhance the intake and electricity effectiveness in buildings and improve the use of community renewable electrical energy via desire administration, employing buildings as dispersed thermal electricity storage, amid other alternatives. The full funding for this challenge, which will be divided amid the chosen suppliers in the course of the full PCP method, is 4.six million euros.

Atos will be responsible for building companies via the answer termed “AI4GreenBuildings” which takes advantage of synthetic intelligence to enhance the electricity overall performance of buildings and its effects in conditions of greenhouse gasoline emissions, via a control suite that screens the creating versatile electricity source (i.e. electrical energy, heating , air flow, air conditioning, h2o) and utilization in buildings. In parallel, the answer will enable municipal choice-makers to make smarter and extra efficient streamlined guidelines. The answer will also increase citizen consciousness on how their actions can effects electricity intake and CO2 emissions.

“AI4GreenBuildings” proposes an ground breaking answer to empower cities and their citizens, letting them to take care of all the electricity resources of buildings, many thanks to an ground breaking Information and facts and Conversation Technology (ICT) system, that allows interoperability and integration of gadgets (e.g. meters, sensors, etc.) for efficient technology, storage and intake administration especially made for households, buildings, and even complete neighborhoods and communities. Its open, regular, and versatile structure opens the doorway to foreseeable future scalability, replicability, collaboration, and integration of exterior communities in a simple way.

Atos will use machine finding out (ML) designs to exploit the gathered information and to make AI-run companies to enhance electricity useful resource administration and for that reason lower general CO2 emissions.

“We are quite happy to get the job done on serving to supply a sustainable society withAI4Cities, which is the best framework to test Atos’s most ground breaking alternatives for improving upon electricity effectiveness in cities, with the vital technological scope and the sufficient geographic dimension to get impactful and noticeable outcomes in many huge cities of Europe”, reported Javier Valiño, Head of the Strength, Climate and Decarbonization Unit of the R&D department of Atos Iberia.

Atos has a short while ago confirmed its situation as the leader of decarbonized and protected digital, pushed by its ambition to access internet-zero by 2028 and, by offering prospects with the launch of the most extensive, end-to-end decarbonization portfolio on the marketplace: Website link.

AI4cities is manufactured up of many multidisciplinary companions from nations such as France, the Netherlands, Estonia, Denmark, Norway and Spain amid others.
