7 The Scope Key Customer groups for collaboration are: Professionals involved in delivering city environmental performance Public who live in the city, pay for its services, judge and contribute to city environmental performance Providing information at each of these levels Individual Community City Ecosystem Services

8 The essence is about Revealing the environmental performance of Peterborough City Demonstrating at a glance how it is today Using the IGS to explain how it needs to be in the future Tracking the path of progress towards creating UK s Environment Capital

9 Visualising Peterborough s City Environmental Performance e.g. Urban Water Loss City Recycling Building C02 River Quality Water Waste Energy Transport Ecosystem services Create clear indicators of environmental performance Supported by trends and data Information is not lost in tables of figures and simplistic pie charts Using real time sensors where appropriate

10 City scale insulation performance See the impact of new policies street by street enabling professional to understand the challenge and the progress Linking to services that can show the performance of your individual house

11 Jack Hunt School Eco School Status: Passed Jan 2009 Green projects A, B, C Creating the capability in the next genera Peterborough Eco School Status It can be viewed and updated by the school, click for detail Presenting the status of key indicators in very simple and understandable ways that enable you to see all the data at a glance.

12 Exemplar green buildings Clicking on the school. drills down into the detail: at Newborough primary school This building boasts an array of energy saving and environmentally friendly aspects A green roof covered in a grass like plant called Sedum will cover a waterproof membrane to: Improve insulation Allow rainwater to be captured and used for flushing toilets Improve air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen Solar ventilation An example in one of the corridors of the cavity wall insulation that is in the school external walls. Glass panel on the floor allows the children to see the under floor heating that is installed in the school.

13 Real time traffic and bus movements Creating the ability to see patterns in this data over time and space

14 Seeing new landscape of measures: Understanding where there is good and bad performance: moving beyond the tables, pie charts and average percentages, revealing gaps in knowledge

15 Seeing the landscape of the Integrated Growth Strategy IGS

16 Getting value from existing data: e.g Flood Risk mapping Especially useful in the context of other data e.g development plans and city Green Lung

17 Understanding City Mobility Peterborough Walkability score 78 Mapping transit times

18 Involving and Empowering Citizens people can be dynamic city sensors Citizens posting information on environmental issues e.g: 1. Fly-tipping 2. Graffiti 3. Street cleanliness 4. Failing infrastructure and assets

19 In the future maybe even extend these ideas to participation in a 3D virtual world This virtual world can respond to real world sensor, amplify important features and create a virtual operations room where professionals can collaborate
