IoT Living Lab – enabling University of East London's digital and sustainability transformation
Siemens Advanta supports the University of East London to accelerate its efforts towards achieving a net-zero mission. The primary objective is to establish a living lab that promotes research and innovation in the field of sustainable data. This initiative is centered around reducing energy consumption, fostering the growth of eco-friendly businesses, and cultivating a diverse pool of talent for the green economy.
The University of East London sought to enhance the talent pipeline by equipping graduates with the skills, tools, and competencies needed in a rapidly changing world. Simultaneously, the campus aimed to become carbon neutral through the integration of the latest technologies.
The Living Lab provides a centralized access point to all important data and enables exploration of digital-enabled sustainable solutions. It uses the campus as a testbed, bringing together siloed data and functionality for easy accessibility by professional services, academia, and students.
The Living Lab transforms the campus into an inclusive, intelligent, and sustainable ecosystem, empowering students to create impactful solutions using the latest technologies and develop in-demand digital skills. This includes exploring the most efficient route to achieving Net Zero Carbon.
