GreenSCIES wins Lightfoot medal!

The paper “GreenSCIES – Green Smart Community Integrated Energy Systems – Integration with Data Centres”, co-authored by Catarina Marques, Robert Tozer, Akos Revesz, Chris Dunham, Phil Jones, Rodrigo Matabuena, Carole Bond, Henrique Lagoeiro, Matt Wegner, Gareth Davies, and Graeme Maidment from LSBU, has been awarded the prestigious Kenneth Lightfoot medal of the Institute of Refrigeration (IOR).

The GreenSCIES project aims to deliver low carbon, affordable energy through a novel smart energy system that connects flexible electricity demands to intermittent renewable energy sources. The results of the study show the feasibility of a 5th generation district mobility, power and heat network in the London Borough of Islington.
