Accelerating net zero tourism: algorithm-driven optimisation of per stay carbon emissions from power, heat and mobility

该项目将创建一个数据驱动的数字解决方案，以加速英国各地旅游业实现净零的路线图，使他们能够从绿色旅游带来的市场机遇中受益。该软件将支持度假酒店在与其物业管理连接的单一系统中有效管理其碳排放。他们将使用新的软件来计算其物业的每次住宿碳排放量，跟踪其物业排放量的变化，并确定其最具成本效益的净零排放途径。该解决方案将利用排放数据、酒店和交通行业数据以及可再生能源项目数据等，创建一个推荐引擎，支持度假酒店确定最具成本效益的路径，以减少其排放，达到净零，甚至实现净负排放，例如，通过产生现场可再生能源并将其销售回电网，或者通过实施现场可再生土地管理实践来储存碳。该软件将收集用户数据，以监测每次住宿的碳排放，并利用定制的推荐引擎，该引擎将根据用户数据进行培训，以改进推荐，并使用高级分析，根据特定地点的数据优化推荐。它是一家经过认证的社会企业和待定的B Corp，致力于减少旅行和旅游对气候的影响。它将与一个可持续度假酒店联盟合作交付该项目，所有这些酒店都是排放管理软件的潜在用户。Ecosy将与他们密切合作，采用以用户为中心的创新方法，根据他们的特定需求和痛点设计和开发软件，排放管理软件将直接连接Ecosy面向消费者的绿色旅行预订平台，支持负责任消费，让旅行者更轻松地过上净零生活。该项目将把低碳地区与具有生态意识的旅行者联系起来，以便在实现净零排放的道路上的地方可以从成为绿色旅游目的地的市场机遇中受益。该项目还将探索如何最好地连接到面向消费者的平台，支持物业可用性的管理，并展示可持续物业的其他关键指标，例如充电点的可用性，作为一个女性拥有的企业和可访问性。

This project will see the creation of a data-driven digital solution to accelerate the roadmap to net zero in tourism in places across the UK, enabling them to benefit from the market opportunity presented by green travel. The software will support holiday properties to effectively manage their carbon emissions in a single system that connects with their property management. They will use the novel software to calculate the per stay carbon emissions of their property, track changes to their property emissions and identify their most cost-effective pathway to net zero. Network analysis will be used to identify specific place-based drivers to accelerate the net-zero tourism pathway of places.The solution will utilise emissions data, industry data from hospitality and transport, and renewable energy project data, among others, to create a recommendation engine that supports holiday properties to identify the most cost-effective path to reducing their emissions, reaching net zero, and even achieving net negative emissions, for example by generating on-site renewable energy that is sold back to the grid or by implementing regenerative land management practices on-site that store carbon. The software will gather user data to monitor per stay carbon emissions and utilise a bespoke recommendation engine, which will be trained on user data to improve recommendations and use advanced analytics to optimise the recommendations according to place-specific data.Ecosy Travel is the project lead. It is a certified social enterprise and pending B Corp dedicated to reducing the climate impact of travel & tourism. It will partner with a consortium of sustainable holiday properties to deliver the project, all of which are potential users of the emissions management software. Ecosy will work closely with them, employing a user-focused innovation approach, to design and develop the software in line with their specific needs and pain points.The emissions management software will connect directly with Ecosy's consumer facing green travel booking platform, supporting responsible consumption and making net zero living that much easier for travellers. It will connect low-carbon places with eco-conscious travellers so that places on the path to net zero can benefit from the market opportunity of being a green travel destination.The project will also explore how best to connect into the consumer facing platform, supporting management of property availability and showcasing other key indicators for sustainable properties such as availability of electric charge points, being a women-owned business and accessibility.
