Creating Zero Carbon Communities: The Role of Digital Twins
Smart Energy community scale initiatives are emerging around the World, which include bounded complex environments such as islands, university campuses, airports and large real estate developments. To realise the potential of such projects requires tools that can help planners, designers, managers and users make the decisions across a complex set of possible actions and investments. Digital Twins can provide the intelligent modelling, analytical and simulation capabilities needed, supporting the needs of diverse user groups including citizens and other service users.
The webinar covers the roadmap for the use of digital twins in the development of zero carbon communities and includes:

Graeme Robertson has worked in the field of energy management for over 30 years and began his career as one of the first batch of UK graduates in energy engineering, back when only two degree courses were available in the UK. During his early years Graeme worked in the field of Building Energy Management Systems, progressively building on a strong technical background to encompass security, lighting control, life safety, IoT and systems integration before moving into energy modelling and digital twin technologies. Graeme has written in numerous technical publications including a chapter in the book 'Advanced Engineering Technologies in Healthcare' published by the Royal Chartered Institute of Mechanical Engineering. Graeme now works in the role of Global Sales Director for IES.
