Project DNA (Dashboard for Net-Zero Action)

中小企业往往缺乏时间、技能和知识来实现其气候雄心。对于今天在成本上升中苦苦挣扎的中小企业来说，走向净零看起来是资本密集型和风险高的。有各种碳会计工具可以帮助小企业避免供应链中碳排放较高的供应商。能够采取行动减少自身排放的企业有望改善自己的价值主张，而且随着供应链的变化，赢得业务的可能性更大。然而，对于希望了解和减少自己车辆、运营和建筑的碳排放的小企业来说，目前几乎没有选择。Go for Zero工具是一个在线仪表盘，可以自动但独立地推荐从电动汽车车队到充电到安装太阳能电池的一切内容，所有这些都只需点击一个按钮。它使用移动性和能源数据为中小企业提供这些资本密集型技术的量身定制的回报计算。根据行为改变专家的说法，组织可以通过技术修复和新技术减少约25%的能源消耗，但人们的行动可以使这一影响加倍。该项目将特别研究如何利用能源数据来增强中小企业领导人的能力，吸引员工，并就净零目标交流进展。净零行动项目仪表板(DNA)将寻求改善向用户传达数据和建议的方式，使用行为洞察，并通过添加可将正确信息送到中小企业手中的细粒度开放能源数据，以便他们能够采取行动并展示进展。其目的是设计一个数据丰富但以人为本的工具，帮助为企业找到净零技术的最佳组合，并在实现净零的路线图中让整个组织参与进来。Project DNA关于中小企业行为、对灵活性的态度、清洁技术选择和优化的财务回报的发现，可以帮助更广泛地了解中小企业将如何最好地与净零互动。改进的Go for Zero工具不仅可以帮助中小企业，还可以减少公用事业公司、银行和其他机构的障碍，以加速客户实现净零。这些组织在为企业提供净零行动方面发挥着关键作用，而Go for Zero仪表盘可以帮助提供数据和分析，以加速净零行动的融资。

SMEs often lack the time, skills and knowledge to achieve their climate ambitions. For SMEs struggling with rising costs today, moving towards net zero looks capital intensive and risky.There are a variety of carbon accounting tools that help smaller businesses avoid suppliers with higher carbon emissions in their supply chains. A business that can act to reduce their own emissions can expect to improve their value proposition and would be more likely to win business as supply chains change. Yet there are currently very few options for smaller businesses looking to understand and reduce the carbon emissions from their own vehicles, operations and buildings.The Go for Zero tool is an online dashboard with automated but individual recommendations on everything from EV fleets and charging to installing solar, all at the click of a button. It uses mobility and energy data to provide SMEs with tailored payback calculations on these capital intensive technologies.According to behaviour change experts, organisations can reduce their energy use by around 25% through technical fixes and new technologies, but the actions of people can double this impact. The project will, in particular, look at how energy data can be harnessed to empower SME leaders, engage employees and communicate progress on Net Zero goals.Project Dashboard for Net-Zero Action (DNA) will seek to improve the way data and recommendations are communicated to users, using behavioural insights and by adding granular open energy data that can put the right information in an SME's hands so that they can take action and demonstrate progress. The aim is to design a data-rich but human-centred tool that helps find the best combination of net zero technologies for a business and engages a whole organisation in the roadmap to Net Zero.Project DNA's findings on SME behaviour, attitudes to flexibility, cleantech choices and optimised financial return could assist wider understandings of how SMEs will interact best with Net Zero.The improved Go for Zero tool has the potential to help not only SMEs, but also to reduce barriers for utilities, banks and other bodies looking to accelerate their customers towards net zero. These organisations have a key role in delivering Net Zero for businesses and the Go for Zero dashboard can help with data and analysis to accelerate the financing of net zero action.
