DESCRIPTION
This presentation was part of a video submission to 'The Living Climate Change Video Challenge - presented by IDEO and hosted by DESIGN 21 and had to be maximum 2 minutes.In this video we paint the picture of how energy would be optimised not just by humans but machines as they become intelligent and integrated into our daily lives.While the world's power demands are expected to rise 60% by 2030, it is supposed by the same time, majority of our energy generation will be decentralised. Our local neighborhoods will become energy farms, allowing local communities to exchange energy between themselves via the Smart Grid it would be similar to todays local farmers market - but for energy.As we become more involve and aware in our energy production, our behavior will ultimately change. We will move from being a conscious customer to cautious ones thus further optimizing our overall energy consumption.Combined with the semantic web, our home appliances and car will access the internet to discover our daily routines, activities and usage patterns to optimize our overall energy use.Our future is bright and delightful.

While Sarah is at work today…
her solar roof will receive the latest weather data from the internet
and adjust 2 centimetres North every 8 minutes to capture the sun’s maximum rays.
Such a move will create more energy than Sarah requires.
Her solar roof will determine the amount of surplus energy needed by...
?
reviewing Sarah’s energy usage patterns
along with those of her neighborhood;
rest will be stored by checking battery levels in her home’s basement.
Any remaining energy will be automatically sold on the neighborhood Smart Grid.
Today’s energy asking price is a 3 month high.
Today’s energy asking price is a 3 month high.
Sarah is set to earn a nice profit from her home again.
Today’s energy asking price is a 3 month high.

At the same time…
the air conditioner
the refrigerator
and solar car
look up Sarah’s calendar on Facebook.

She has 5 of her friends arriving at 8pm tonight.
All go into action and communicate in real time...
to optimise Sarah’s total home and travel energy needs.
That’s intelligent energy.
