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 3-yr EU-funded task which aims to assist six European metropolitan areas and regions accelerate their transition towards carbon neutrality. This consists of: Helsinki (Finland), Amsterdam (Netherlands), Copenhagen (Denmark), Paris Region (France), Stravanger (Norway) and Tallin (Estonia). The synthetic intelligence (AI) alternatives will in the end add to the reduction of CO2 in the places of mobility and energy, two domains liable for eighty two% of all greenhouse gas emissions in European metropolitan areas.

Atos has been chosen for the Phase 1 of AI4Cities: the pre-professional procurement (PCP) system that problems technological know-how corporations in the six metropolitan areas and regions to style, carry out and exam innovative synthetic intelligence alternatives serving to them to modernize general public sector products and services and resolve societal important problems. The chosen corporations will, with synthetic intelligence: analyze vacation styles to style more effective routes and schedules, contributing to a a great deal scaled-down environmental footprint optimize the use of electric car or truck charging destinations by supplying tips based on synthetic intelligence and cut down the time to examine, strategy and encourage investments (e.g. for building renovation). In addition, corporations will perform to optimize the use and energy effectiveness in properties and improve the use of area renewable electric power by way of demand management, using properties as dispersed thermal energy storage, between other alternatives. The overall funding for this task, which will be divided between the chosen suppliers through the full PCP system, is four.6 million euros.

Atos will be liable for building products and services by way of the answer known as “AI4GreenBuildings” which works by using synthetic intelligence to increase the energy overall performance of properties and its impression in phrases of greenhouse gas emissions, by way of a regulate suite that displays the building versatile energy provide (i.e. electric power, heating , ventilation, air conditioning, drinking water) and usage in properties. In parallel, the answer will assist municipal determination-makers to produce smarter and more powerful streamlined insurance policies. The answer will also raise citizen awareness on how their steps can impression energy use and CO2 emissions.

“AI4GreenBuildings” proposes an innovative answer to empower metropolitan areas and their citizens, allowing them to regulate all the energy means of properties, many thanks to an innovative Info and Interaction Technologies (ICT) system, that allows interoperability and integration of devices (e.g. meters, sensors, etcetera.) for effective technology, storage and use management especially developed for homes, properties, and even whole neighborhoods and communities. Its open up, standard, and versatile style opens the door to upcoming scalability, replicability, collaboration, and integration of exterior communities in a straightforward way.

Atos will use machine studying (ML) products to exploit the collected info and to produce AI-run products and services to optimize energy resource management and consequently cut down overall CO2 emissions.

“We are really happy to perform on serving to provide a sustainable society withAI4Cities, which is the suitable framework to exam Atos’s most innovative alternatives for improving energy effectiveness in metropolitan areas, with the vital technical scope and the enough geographic dimension to get impactful and visible benefits in quite a few major metropolitan areas of Europe”, stated Javier Valiño, Head of the Electrical power, Weather and Decarbonization Device of the R&D office of Atos Iberia.

Atos has recently verified its posture as the chief of decarbonized and protected electronic, driven by its ambition to arrive at net-zero by 2028 and, by supplying prospects with the start of the most in depth, finish-to-finish decarbonization portfolio on the industry: Backlink.

AI4cities is built up of quite a few multidisciplinary associates from nations this kind of as France, the Netherlands, Estonia, Denmark, Norway and Spain between other folks.
