"Commute2NetZero" (C2NZ) will revolutionise scope 3 category 7 (commute and telecommuting) emissions reduction strategies for East Lothian Council and employers in East Lothian. C2NZ will enhance the existing data-driven digital service, "CalCommuter," (developed to MVP in Innovate UK FastStart project) which already works out the cost, emissions and duration of current and potential commutes for individual employees allowing employers to benchmark, and then provide personalised incentives for commute emission reduction.Before piloting with at least three large employers in East Lothian (East Lothian Council, Queen Margaret University, and Charles River Laboratories and others participating in the Workforce Mobility project), the Commute2NetZero project will enhance the CalCommuter MVP in three key ways: Firstly, working with East Lothian Council's Sustainability and Climate-Change team to accurately capture telecommuting patterns and emissions for each employee, enabling the calculation of their heat and energy emissions associated with telecommuting. Secondly, the team will develop an automated data visualisation dashboard for commute and telecommuting emissions data, providing comprehensive insights for employers and facilitating the targeting of NetZero commuting and heat/energy reduction incentives to specific employees based on their CalCommuter results. Lastly, it will open up commute and telecommute data for use by East Lothian Council and other public bodies and researchers, supporting the design of better NetZero policies and sustainable travel initiatives. Opening up data will enable collaborative understanding and working between stakeholders to develop creative and impactful interventions and monitor their impacts and outcomes.Our solution goes beyond traditional commute planning tools by incorporating telecommuting emissions analysis, which is particularly relevant in the post-COVID remote work landscape. The innovation lies in features such as personalised cost calculations for employee commutes, automated visualisation of commute and telecommute data, and personalised emission reduction interventions. This holistic approach allows employers to identify emission hotspots, prioritise interventions in line with NetZero policy objectives, and target specific NetZero initiatives based on each employee's actual commute and teleworking options.By promoting initiatives tailored to employee needs, such as cycle-to-work schemes for those with a valid cycle commute option, workplace parking and work from home policies for those without sustainable commute options, or air- and ground-source heat pump grants for those in target areas, we can drive meaningful emission reductions across specific workplaces. Our project supports the goals of East Lothian Council's Climate Change Strategy, the Active Travel Improvement Plan, and the Local Transport Strategy, and addresses the evolving landscape of remote work.

“通勤2NetZero”（C2 NZ）将彻底改变东洛锡安理事会和东洛锡安雇主的范围3第7类（通勤和远程办公）减排战略。C2 NZ将增强现有的数据驱动的数字服务“CalCommuter”，（在Innovate UK FastStart项目中发展为MVP），该项目已经计算出单个员工当前和潜在通勤的成本、排放量和持续时间，允许雇主进行基准测试，然后为通勤减排提供个性化激励。在与东洛锡安的至少三家大型雇主进行试点之前，（东洛锡安理事会，玛格丽特女王大学和查尔斯河实验室和其他参与劳动力流动性项目），Commute 2NetZero项目将在三个关键方面增强CalCommuter MVP：首先，与东洛锡安理事会的可持续发展和气候变化团队合作，准确捕捉每个员工的远程办公模式和排放量，从而能够计算与远程办公相关的热量和能量排放。其次，该团队将开发一个自动化的数据可视化仪表板，用于通勤和远程办公排放数据，为雇主提供全面的见解，并根据他们的CalCommuter结果，促进NetZero通勤和热量/能源减少激励措施针对特定员工。最后，它将开放通勤和远程办公数据，供东洛锡安理事会和其他公共机构和研究人员使用，支持设计更好的NetZero政策和可持续旅游计划。开放数据将使利益相关者之间能够进行协作理解和合作，以制定创造性和有影响力的干预措施，并监测其影响和结果。我们的解决方案超越了传统的通勤规划工具，融入了远程办公排放分析，这在COVID后的远程工作环境中尤为重要。创新在于员工通勤的个性化成本计算，通勤和远程办公数据的自动可视化以及个性化减排干预等功能。这种整体方法使雇主能够识别排放热点，根据NetZero政策目标优先考虑干预措施，并根据每个员工的实际通勤和远程工作选择针对具体的NetZero计划。通过推广针对员工需求的计划，例如针对那些有有效的自行车通勤选择的人的自行车上班计划，工作场所停车和针对那些没有可持续通勤选择的人的在家工作政策，或者为目标地区的人提供空气源和地源热泵赠款，我们可以在特定的工作场所推动有意义的减排。我们的项目支持东洛锡安理事会的气候变化战略的目标，积极的旅行改善计划，和当地的交通战略，并解决远程工作不断变化的景观。
