Description
Carbon abatement mechanism
IoT enabled EV charging points interact with electric vehicles or driver mobile apps to direct drivers to the most appropriate EV charging point, giving drivers the confidence to carry out more journeys in electric vehicles.
The use of an electric vehicle over a traditional fuelled vehicle has significant carbon savings. It is assumed each electric vehicle journey provided by the charging point replaces a car journey travelled in an average car with an internal combustion engine (i.e. petrol or diesel).
Description
Carbon abatement mechanism
Remote patient monitoring devices allow chronic or high-risk patients to be monitored within their own home. This prevents excess journeys to and from hospital by both patients and healthcare professionals, as well as freeing up hospital beds.
The emissions associated with hospital stays (based on average emissions of a patient occupying a hospital bed per day) are avoided by allowing the patient to remain at home. There are also the avoided emissions from not having to make the car journey to and from the hospital.
Real-time data from connected data loggers, ensure effective monitoring of the refrigeration temperatures of medical supplies along the cold chain, which allows for intervention to take place if temperatures fall below the optimum level..
Optimised medical refrigeration monitoring, reduces wastage along the cold chain because of real-time temperature tracking and intervention.
