W e live in an age when most all human behaviour is reducible to data , when everything we do is filtered through some algorithm and turned into datasets that is then filtered through some more algorithms to be understood by the ever-burgeoning field of data science . But , with the climate crisis upon us and in full swing , how can data help us reduce our emissions ?
In myriad ways , as it turns out . And , sophisticated though our models might be , we are at the very beginning of understanding its capabilities and implications .
Take something as simple as a building . Currently , most operate on a rather antiquated on / off system , in which the power is turned on and used as people are inside the structure . This leads to wasted energy . In fact , with the proper approach to building use , up to 10 million tonnes of C20 could be kept out of our atmosphere every year .
