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

Madrid (Spain), Paris (France) – June 9, 2021

Atos joins AI4Cities, a 3-year EU-funded project which aims to assistance 6 European towns and areas accelerate their changeover towards carbon neutrality. This contains: Helsinki (Finland), Amsterdam (Netherlands), Copenhagen (Denmark), Paris Area (France), Stravanger (Norway) and Tallin (Estonia). The synthetic intelligence (AI) remedies will ultimately contribute to the reduction of CO2 in the parts of mobility and electricity, two domains accountable for eighty two% of all greenhouse fuel emissions in European towns.

Atos has been picked for the Phase one of AI4Cities: the pre-commercial procurement (PCP) course of action that troubles technological innovation companies in the 6 towns and areas to structure, put into practice and take a look at ground breaking synthetic intelligence remedies helping them to modernize public sector products and services and resolve societal crucial troubles. The picked companies will, with synthetic intelligence: examine vacation designs to structure extra efficient routes and schedules, contributing to a significantly smaller sized environmental footprint improve the use of electric powered vehicle charging locations by furnishing recommendations based mostly on synthetic intelligence and cut down the time to evaluate, system and boost investments (e.g. for setting up renovation). In addition, companies will function to improve the usage and electricity efficiency in structures and improve the use of local renewable electrical energy through demand from customers administration, using structures as distributed thermal electricity storage, between other remedies. The whole funding for this project, which will be divided between the picked suppliers throughout the whole PCP course of action, is four.6 million euros.

Atos will be accountable for producing products and services through the option termed “AI4GreenBuildings” which works by using synthetic intelligence to improve the electricity general performance of structures and its impression in phrases of greenhouse fuel emissions, through a regulate suite that monitors the setting up flexible electricity source (i.e. electrical energy, heating , ventilation, air conditioning, h2o) and usage in structures. In parallel, the option will assistance municipal conclusion-makers to develop smarter and extra productive streamlined insurance policies. The option will also elevate citizen awareness on how their steps can impression electricity usage and CO2 emissions.

“AI4GreenBuildings” proposes an ground breaking option to empower towns and their citizens, allowing them to handle all the electricity assets of structures, many thanks to an ground breaking Info and Communication Engineering (ICT) platform, that enables interoperability and integration of gadgets (e.g. meters, sensors, and many others.) for efficient era, storage and usage administration precisely developed for properties, structures, and even overall neighborhoods and communities. Its open up, regular, and flexible structure opens the door to future scalability, replicability, collaboration, and integration of external communities in a easy way.

Atos will use machine finding out (ML) products to exploit the collected data and to develop AI-run products and services to improve electricity useful resource administration and consequently cut down all round CO2 emissions.

“We are pretty proud to function on helping supply a sustainable society withAI4Cities, which is the ideal framework to take a look at Atos’s most ground breaking remedies for strengthening electricity efficiency in towns, with the essential specialized scope and the adequate geographic dimension to get impactful and noticeable success in quite a few major towns of Europe”, reported Javier Valiño, Head of the Energy, Climate and Decarbonization Device of the R&D division of Atos Iberia.

Atos has lately verified its situation as the leader of decarbonized and safe electronic, pushed by its ambition to reach internet-zero by 2028 and, by furnishing shoppers with the launch of the most thorough, conclude-to-conclude decarbonization portfolio on the sector: Connection.

AI4cities is created up of quite a few multidisciplinary associates from international locations these types of as France, the Netherlands, Estonia, Denmark, Norway and Spain between other individuals.
