In February, Manchester partners Clicks and Links, Manchester Metropolitan University (ManMet) and Manchester City Council (MCC) welcomed participants to the first Triangulum ‘Innovation Challenge’.
Over the course of half a day, proposals for energy saving measures were prepared, which could be taken across the ManMet Birley campus and beyond.
The challenge also involved reviewing Clicks and Links’ ‘Beat the Peak’ Application; created for ManMet to allow them to promote and monitor energy savings the students are making. This ‘softer’ activity will complement the Triangulum Central Controller trials also taking place at ManMet, where Demand Side Response and local distribution charges (DuoS) scenarios are being tested.
The participants delivered a series of well received pitches to judges from the partner organisations, and the best ideas won prizes donated by Corridor Manchester.
