  • To review regional and international best practices for carbon footprint measurement, including the scope of emissions captured
  • To work with the hybrid infrastructure management platform as the central component of a high-integrity automated carbon footprint management solution
  • To explore the potential for, and possibly support the development of, a digital twin architecture built upon a hybrid infrastructure management platform, as a framework for strategic evaluation of carbon footprint policies
  • To support the development of virtual reality software for integrated simulation extensions of the hybrid infrastructure management platform output, accessed through APIs
  • To explore the development of a lifecycle management algorithm around the critical elements of data centre cooling system architecture(s)
  • To document case studies for the use of automated technologies in carbon emissions data capture, verification and/or reporting.
