AMEE: a plateform to measure the “Carbon Footprint” of everything on Earth

AMEE est une plateforme qui permet de mesurer et de suivre l'emprunte carbone de n'importe quel objets au travers de service web (API) open source. Les données transmises - libres ou privées (copyright)- peuvent être utilisées pour construire des applications commerciales. Cette plateforme bien que soutenue par le monde anglo-saxon est en phase avec la directive performance energetique Européene pour le calcul du certificat de performance energetique --esa

AMEE’s aim is to map, measure and track all the energy data on Earth. This includes aggregating every emission factor and methodology related to CO2 and Energy Assessments (individuals, businesses, buildings, products, supply chains, countries, etc.), and all the consumption data (fuel, water, waste, quantitative and qualitative factors).

It is a web-service (API) that combines measurement, calculation, profiling and transactional systems. Its algorithmic engine applies conversion factors from energy into CO2 emissions, and represents data from 150 countries and regions.

AMEE aids the development of businesses and other initiatives - by providing common benchmarks for measurement, tracking, conversion, collaboration and reporting.

AMEE is designed to add to and support your business. Its role is to help create, stimulate and be part of the emerging ecosystems around energy data; whether you are creating a calculator or a marketplace, tracking a building or a supply chain. AMEE is complimentary to and can facilitate Smart Grids, information systems, legislative frameworks and compliance schemes.

We aim to assist with the development of energy as a global carbon currency, assisting governments and companies that need to account for and trade internationally in CO2 emissions.

The AMEE platform is used internationally by many organisations including The UK Government (Defra/DECC), The Irish Government, The Welsh Assembly, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Google, Morgan Stanley, Nesta, the Energy Saving Trust, BRE, Radiohead, Sun Microsystems, plus numerous other IT, business services and software companies.

AMEE has been designed to deliver a new standard in functionality, transparency and interoperability.

Example: Real-time, automated carbon footprints

Sending smart-meter data directly into AMEE, and retrieving CO2 in real-time via an Atom feed

AMEE now supports the UK standard assessment procedure (SAP and RD-SAP) for buildings and any future standards. This enables the calculation of an “Energy Performance Certificate” in line with the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive.
