Initiative overview
The Signature Projects initiative was launched in 2020 to explore how AI technologies can improve public sector operations while contributing to climate and sustainability goals. The initiative supports testing and implementation of AI-driven solutions across multiple areas of municipal and public services.
Key focus areas include:
- Energy optimisation of municipal buildings to reduce energy consumption and emissions
- FleetOptimiser, which uses AI to manage municipal vehicle fleets efficiently and promote climate-smart driving
- Forecasting tools to support planning, mapping, and flood warnings in rural and urban areas
- Optimised building usage through AI to manage heating and resource allocation
By using AI to make operations more data-driven and efficient, the initiative aims to:
- Reduce CO2 emissions across public sector activities
- Save resources and costs for municipalities
- Provide decision support tools for sustainable planning and service delivery
