How to empower citizens in the energy market by using the Digital Twin technologies?
City of Bristol, UK
Why?
As part of the Bristol’s One City Plan, by 2050 Bristolians will be well-connected with digital services and efficient and sustainable transport. TwinERGY supports these objectives through innovative tools that ensure a more affordable energy.
What?
The heart of the Bristol Pilot will be to explore how to improve energy efficiency and sustainable attitudes within communities. Could citizens start playing a more active role in the energy market if they were aware of the technical possibilities offered by the Digital Twin Technology? Bristol will discover it!
How?
The Bristol Approach, a proven framework for fostering community-driven digital innovations, leads the co-exploration and identification of citizens' concerns around energy consumption. It provides a set of tools to engage citizens in the co-design of technological solutions to ensure that the project accommodates their needs and priorities. The Bristol pilot focuses on involving groups often underrepresented in the debate of emerging and future energy markets (e.g. young people, minority groups, home in fuel poverty).
