Welcome back to our IDEMA project blog series . Last time, we introduced the three step Renewable Energy Assessment Framework and the outcomes of step 1, identifying suitable technologies. So, today, we’re going to talk about step 2 and how we applied it to IDEMA.
Urban Innovation at the Front Line: January at DG Cities
IDEMA: Introducing the Renewable Energy Technology Assessment Framework
For the past year DG Cities has been closely involved in an InnovateUK funded project called IDEMA - a technical feasibility study for 11 sustainable homes in the UK. Our role in this multidisciplinary research project, has been to identify the most appropriate renewable energy technology strategy for these homes. As the project draws to a close, this is the first in a series of blog posts about our work, learnings and recommendations for developers and local authorities.
Urban Innovation in Action: 2019 at DG Cities
As the end of the year draws to a close, we thought instead of our normal monthly review, we’d take a bigger trip down Memory Lane, looking at how we lived in 2019. Every year has its ups and downs but for me, this year has definitely been on an upward (albeit slow one at times) trend, where a lot of hard work started to pay off towards the end of the year.
From the Future of Mobility to Smart Home Design: An Exciting Four Months at DG Cities
It’s been nearly four months since I joined the DG Cities team, and while I had no idea what was in store for me when I first started, I have certainly learned a lot in my time here. I’ve had the chance to work on a number of exciting and diverse projects, all of which have reminded me, more so than ever, of just how rapidly technology is shaping the towns and cities we live in.
