LIGHTING INFRASTRUCTURE AND REVENUE MODEL
In one example, a method of a computing device calculates savings information associated with a lighting infrastructure application framework. The method comprises receiving, at the computing device, real time energy usage data from a plurality lighting node platform devices within the lighting infrastructure application framework; calculating energy savings information associated with management and a use of the plurality of lighting node platform devices; automatically calculating carbon credit information based on the calculated energy savings information associated with the management and the use of the plurality of lighting node platform devices; and transmitting a request for carbon credits based on the calculated carbon credit information.
1 . A method for a computing device to calculate savings information associated with a lighting infrastructure application framework comprising:
receiving, at the computing device, real time energy usage data from a plurality of lighting node platform devices within the lighting infrastructure application framework;
calculating energy savings information associated with management and a use of the plurality of lighting node platform devices;
automatically calculating carbon credit information based on the calculated energy savings information associated with the management and the use of the plurality of lighting node platform devices; and
transmitting a request for carbon credits based on the calculated carbon credit information.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising trading carbon credits received in response to the request for additional revenue for at least one of the lighting infrastructure application framework operator and a lighting infrastructure owner associated with the plurality of lighting node platform devices.
3 . A computing device to calculate savings information associated with a lighting infrastructure application framework, the computing device comprising:
processors; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor among the processors, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising, at least:
receiving, at the computing device, real time energy usage data from a plurality of lighting node platform devices within the lighting infrastructure application framework;
calculating energy savings information associated with management and a use of the plurality of lighting node platform devices;
automatically calculating carbon credit information based on the calculated energy savings information associated with the management and the use of the plurality of lighting node platform devices; and
transmitting a request for carbon credits based on the calculated carbon credit information.
4 . A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored thereon processor-executable software instructions configured to cause a processor to perform operations for calculating savings information associated with a lighting infrastructure application framework, the operations comprising:
receiving real time energy usage data from a plurality of lighting node platform devices within the lighting infrastructure application framework;
calculating energy savings information associated with management and a use of the plurality of lighting node platform devices;
automatically calculating carbon credit information based on the calculated energy savings information associated with the management and the use of the plurality of lighting node platform devices; and
transmitting a request for carbon credits based on the calculated carbon credit information.
