From 16.04.2009 to 16.04.2009
REEEP Endorsed
Organised by 2degrees - the collaboration service for sustainable business
Location: Online-Only Event
Description:
This webinar will assess the future of smart cities as an enabler to low carbon technologies, smart buildings, waste and water efficiency.
With political, economic and technical factors so closely aligned to regulatory frameworks, it is vital to understand the constraints and barriers of changing to smart cities as the scale of technology decreases but bandwidth and requirements increase. Simon Giles, Smart City Strategy Lead from Accenture will cover a variety of topics including:
- Latest on timeframes, updates on policy and regulation – how do you create the right incentives and policy for the delivery of smart grids?
- Technology vs the economics – how do we reduce the marginal cost of technologies through scale?
- Dealing with the behavioural shift – creating social shifts and a driving environmental need to develop sustainable practices and technologies.
