Friday lunchtime lecture: The secret lives of buildings revealed (with open data)

New, cheaper sensor and tracking hardware, and new big data and data science techniques, mean that we can now gather and use huge amounts of real-time data to understand the built environment better. Francine Bennett of Mastodon C talks about the technical challenges, applications, and potential future value of collecting and using data in buildings. Francine is CEO and Co-founder of big data specialists Mastodon C. They offer an open source technology platform and the skills to help users realise its potential, and do so on zero carbon infrastructure.
