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 a few-calendar year EU-funded task which aims to assistance six European cities and regions accelerate their transition in direction of carbon neutrality. This consists of: Helsinki (Finland), Amsterdam (Netherlands), Copenhagen (Denmark), Paris Area (France), Stravanger (Norway) and Tallin (Estonia). The artificial intelligence (AI) options will in the end lead to the reduction of CO2 in the regions of mobility and energy, two domains accountable for 82% of all greenhouse fuel emissions in European cities.

Atos has been picked for the Period 1 of AI4Cities: the pre-industrial procurement (PCP) approach that troubles know-how businesses in the six cities and regions to style and design, carry out and examination progressive artificial intelligence options assisting them to modernize community sector products and services and resolve societal essential troubles. The picked businesses will, with artificial intelligence: evaluate vacation styles to style and design extra productive routes and schedules, contributing to a a great deal scaled-down environmental footprint improve the use of electrical vehicle charging destinations by furnishing suggestions dependent on artificial intelligence and minimize the time to consider, plan and endorse investments (e.g. for developing renovation). In addition, businesses will function to improve the intake and energy efficiency in properties and maximize the use of area renewable electrical energy by way of demand management, employing properties as dispersed thermal energy storage, amongst other options. The complete funding for this task, which will be divided amongst the picked suppliers all through the full PCP approach, is 4.6 million euros.

Atos will be accountable for creating products and services by way of the solution termed “AI4GreenBuildings” which employs artificial intelligence to make improvements to the energy general performance of properties and its effects in terms of greenhouse fuel emissions, by way of a control suite that displays the developing versatile energy provide (i.e. electrical energy, heating , air flow, air conditioning, water) and use in properties. In parallel, the solution will assistance municipal decision-makers to create smarter and extra helpful streamlined procedures. The solution will also increase citizen recognition on how their actions can effects energy intake and CO2 emissions.

“AI4GreenBuildings” proposes an progressive solution to empower cities and their citizens, making it possible for them to regulate all the energy sources of properties, many thanks to an progressive Information and Interaction Technologies (ICT) platform, that permits interoperability and integration of products (e.g. meters, sensors, and so forth.) for productive technology, storage and intake management specially made for properties, properties, and even overall neighborhoods and communities. Its open, standard, and versatile style and design opens the door to foreseeable future scalability, replicability, collaboration, and integration of exterior communities in a very simple way.

Atos will use equipment learning (ML) styles to exploit the gathered facts and to create AI-powered products and services to improve energy useful resource management and as a result minimize total CO2 emissions.

“We are incredibly happy to function on assisting deliver a sustainable society withAI4Cities, which is the ideal framework to examination Atos’s most progressive options for improving energy efficiency in cities, with the important technological scope and the sufficient geographic dimension to get impactful and obvious outcomes in various massive cities of Europe”, claimed Javier Valiño, Head of the Electricity, Climate and Decarbonization Unit of the R&D department of Atos Iberia.

Atos has lately confirmed its situation as the chief of decarbonized and protected electronic, pushed by its ambition to reach web-zero by 2028 and, by furnishing clients with the start of the most in depth, conclude-to-conclude decarbonization portfolio on the marketplace: Backlink.

AI4cities is created up of various multidisciplinary companions from nations around the world these kinds of as France, the Netherlands, Estonia, Denmark, Norway and Spain amongst other folks.
