FILAMENT PD ON TACKLING THE CLIMATE CRISIS WITH AI

FILAMENT PD ON TACKLING CLIMATE CRISIS THROUGH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

It’s been another year of growth for Filament PD, our Skypark-based product development agency with expertise in the development of IoT (Internet of Things) and connected hardware devices, as they continue to go from strength to strength.

For team Filament have partnered with Arceptive, the Glasgow-based technology and business consultancy proposing an AI-based platform to provide continuous, large-scale thermal imaging services to government and local authorities, with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions produced by residential buildings by creating streetlevel reports of thermal leakage. These targeted insights could provide an unprecedented opportunity for analysis and be used to trigger behavioural change from building occupants – in heating behaviour and ventilation control – to further decrease emissions from residential buildings, positively contributing to the government’s climate change target of net zero emissions by 2045.

In addition the company is now a supplier for Glasgow City Council’s Design Thinking and Business Innovation for SMEs. Commenting on the projects Craig Lynn co-founder of Filament PD said: “We are delighted that the team is part of a partnership that has been selected to take place in a Scottish Government challenge looking at how artificial intelligence can tackle climate change through the Can Do Innovation Challenge Fund that is managed by Scottish Enterprise. We are also pleased to announce that have been chosen by Glasgow City Council to be one of the key suppliers for Design Thinking and Business Innovation in providing SME’s with support, as part of their Business Growth Programme, for the next 3 years. It’s been a fantastic start to the year for all the team at Filament PD.”

Finally, the team has acquired its ISO 9001 the internationally recognised Quality Management System (QMS) standard that specifies requirements for an organisation’s QMS. Craig finished: “For our clients, it means that we can demonstrate our ability to consistently provide a design and development service for a range of products including the healthcare and medical sector. Furthermore, we can demonstrate that we meet customer, statutory and regulatory requirements, that constantly enhance our high standard of customer service through our QMS”.
