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 venture which aims to enable six European cities and areas speed up their changeover towards carbon neutrality. This incorporates: Helsinki (Finland), Amsterdam (Netherlands), Copenhagen (Denmark), Paris Location (France), Stravanger (Norway) and Tallin (Estonia). The synthetic intelligence (AI) solutions will in the long run lead to the reduction of CO2 in the locations of mobility and electrical power, two domains dependable for 82% of all greenhouse gasoline emissions in European cities.

Atos has been picked for the Phase one of AI4Cities: the pre-professional procurement (PCP) process that troubles technological innovation providers in the six cities and areas to design, implement and test innovative synthetic intelligence solutions helping them to modernize general public sector expert services and solve societal crucial troubles. The picked providers will, with synthetic intelligence: evaluate travel patterns to design far more economical routes and schedules, contributing to a a great deal smaller sized environmental footprint enhance the use of electric powered automobile charging places by giving recommendations dependent on synthetic intelligence and cut down the time to appraise, system and advertise investments (e.g. for making renovation). In addition, providers will do the job to enhance the use and electrical power effectiveness in structures and maximize the use of area renewable electricity by desire management, applying structures as dispersed thermal electrical power storage, among the other solutions. The full funding for this venture, which will be divided among the the picked suppliers through the full PCP process, is 4.six million euros.

Atos will be dependable for developing expert services by the solution referred to as “AI4GreenBuildings” which takes advantage of synthetic intelligence to strengthen the electrical power performance of structures and its influence in conditions of greenhouse gasoline emissions, by a handle suite that screens the making versatile electrical power offer (i.e. electricity, heating , ventilation, air conditioning, drinking water) and utilization in structures. In parallel, the solution will enable municipal final decision-makers to make smarter and far more effective streamlined guidelines. The solution will also raise citizen consciousness on how their steps can influence electrical power use and CO2 emissions.

“AI4GreenBuildings” proposes an innovative solution to empower cities and their citizens, permitting them to deal with all the electrical power assets of structures, many thanks to an innovative Data and Conversation Engineering (ICT) system, that allows interoperability and integration of gadgets (e.g. meters, sensors, and so on.) for economical era, storage and use management specially developed for households, structures, and even whole neighborhoods and communities. Its open up, normal, and versatile design opens the doorway to potential scalability, replicability, collaboration, and integration of exterior communities in a basic way.

Atos will use equipment studying (ML) styles to exploit the gathered details and to make AI-run expert services to enhance electrical power useful resource management and therefore cut down over-all CO2 emissions.

“We are quite proud to do the job on helping produce a sustainable modern society withAI4Cities, which is the great framework to test Atos’s most innovative solutions for strengthening electrical power effectiveness in cities, with the vital complex scope and the enough geographic dimension to get impactful and obvious success in a number of large cities of Europe”, explained Javier Valiño, Head of the Electricity, Weather and Decarbonization Device of the R&D office of Atos Iberia.

Atos has just lately confirmed its place as the chief of decarbonized and protected electronic, pushed by its ambition to reach net-zero by 2028 and, by giving shoppers with the launch of the most comprehensive, finish-to-finish decarbonization portfolio on the industry: Hyperlink.

AI4cities is produced up of a number of multidisciplinary associates from nations this sort of as France, the Netherlands, Estonia, Denmark, Norway and Spain among the others.
