Smart Ports

While many port cities owe their very existence to the ports and today benefit from economic growth and jobs, the cities are also confronting the necessity to improve residents quality of life, specifically reducing air pollution, noise and congestion. Overall, shipping is one of the most carbon efficient forms of global transport, however the enormous scale of the industry means it is estimated to produce over 2% of total global CO₂ emissions. This report addresses how ports can be more sustainable and smarter. 

 

Smart Campus

 This report examines what is possible, today and into the future, for campus energy, buildings, and transport. It is firmly grounded in the realities of limited budgets, and highlights where revenue could be created, or costs saved. The result is a roadmap illustrating how a university or college dean could lead their campus towards a connected, efficient and sustainable future.
