Improving technology

When we combine efficiency and technology we can lower greenhouse gas emissions, provide cheaper electricity and heating, and create a more secure energy supply.

Decentralised energy


The city centres of tomorrow’s networked world will produce power and heat as well as consume it. The roofs and facades of public buildings are ideal for harvesting solar energy. Efficient energy use will become the standard for all buildings. We will have a diversity of energy sources that are well suited to the needs of the area and in some cases, particularly in developing countries, independent from the national network.
