With the proper application and execution of data , we could know when people are in ( when rooms are booked ), when they ’ re not in , and data will know – automatically and unbeknownst to us – when a building should be at whatever power , whatever energy usage , is optimal . Furthermore , the data provided by data collection systems will provide us with information that will be a powerful influence on our behaviour , for the data will let us know the actions that lead to the highest emissions .
Data , in so few words , provides us with the information which then guides our decisions , while using technology like AI to reduce our emissions helps us without us knowing about it at all . This approach can , and has , and increasingly will , be applied to businesses at large .
An important starting point is that without the right kind of information – the kind of information that comes from data – no business can begin to make the transition to zero carbon .
