Increasing public's value-action on climate change: Integrating intelligence analytics to edge devices in industry 4.0

Rapid growth of Big Data and Internet of Things (IoT) provides promising potentials to the advancements of methods and applications in increasing public awareness on climate change. The fundamental principle behind this method is to provide quantifiable calculation approach on several major factors that affect climate change, where one of the most well-known factors is the Greenhouse Gases (GHG) with CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide as major contributors. By utilizing Big Data and IoT, an approximate release of GHG can be calculated and embedded inside common household devices such as thermostats, water/heat/electricity/gas meter. An example is the CO2 released by a cubic of water. By using reverse calculation, an approximate CO2 release can be sequentially retrieved as follows: (1) water meter measures consumption, (2) calculate hp and kWh of pump used to supply one m3 of water, (3) calculate the amount of fossil fuel needed to produce one kWh, and (4) calculate CO2 released to the atmosphere from burning of fossil fuel per metric tons/barrel. Such analytical approaches are then embedded on household devices by providing updated information on GHG produced by hourly/daily/weekly/monthly energy usage, hence educating the public and increasing their awareness of climate change. This approach can be developed to provide an alarm of percentage of GHG released to the atmosphere by the excessive use of electricity/water/gas. Further actions in order to influence socio-economic function can later be established such as by establishing a rewards program by the government for people who can successfully manage their GHG emission.
