Hello all
@Jonathan
Regarding 1) Smart Meters, I reckon the Data Communications Company ( https://www.smartdcc.co.uk/) may help as the starting point. Data from smart meters must be stored already in the cloud (another aspect if is is private / public etc), otherwise, we could not get invoiced. We just need a read only API to it.

Regarding the 2) We can make it optional if the data is public or private (for the owner to decide). Note we need to consider leaseholders and freeholders. This would be similar to trip advisor / google reviews or CCTV in terms if the owner does not have anything to “hide” then any person may ask “why it is not public?”. I reckon at the beginning if the owner tries to sell or rent, then he will have an incentive to share, although eventually, home insurance could be cheaper if it is shared.
Regarding existing buildings, the same incentives apply if you want to sell or rent, you can get a survey done or keep maintenance logs. For the public sector we can use regulation, ie demonstrating the building is safe to work or live in.
I reckon eventually the main incentive is competition, like BREEAM. WELL, etc if somebody else has it and you do not, then you are losing out in addition to reducing insurance or maintenance costs.
Next steps
If we could join Chimini + DCC as the starting point, see how the map info to property and space and merge that into a Digital Twin then I reckon we have a valuable application.
Without trying to look like a project manager, unless there are not any other proposals for “bare minimum” case studies, would we agree on the next step to have a 60-minute workshop with both of them to define integrations and data structure?
Thanks
Will
