University of Nottingham Project SCENe: Trent Basin
#MoveTheDate Solutions
Personal / Community: Community project
Cities sub-categories: Infrastructure, Renewable energy
Description: IES created an interactive platform that enables the Trent Basin community to visualise its energy data in real-time. The platform provides information on renewable energy generation and storage, alongside energy consumption data, and general information about the homes.

Why I love this solution: The 3D Community Interaction Model provides a visual tool that promotes public engagement in the community energy scheme and communicates the results of this low energy housing development. Whether using the online platform or the 147 Inch Touch Screen, residents can move virtually around the real-life site, see it from different angles, see how much energy is being generated and the charging state of the battery in real-time. They can compare this with the other real-time data available such as the weather.
