Distributed Data Intelligence Protocol to Focus on Reducing Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Global warming caused by carbon emissions is the biggest challenge for humanity, as well as enormous financial opportunities.

Buildings cause more than 30% of the world's carbon emissions, making it the single largest source of carbon emissions because they consume around 60% of global electricity. More than 70% of all buildings were built before the first energy crisis in the 1970s, which created a huge market to improve their energy efficiency.

Bluenote launched the world's first blockchain-based energy efficiency protocol. This creates a decentralized ecosystem that allows building operators around the world to learn from each other how to waste less energy through distributed intelligence data.

Making buildings more energy efficient has a number of key benefits:

Produce enormous direct and sustainable cost savings by reducing their energy costs.

These cost savings make buildings more profitable and therefore far more valuable.

The non-financial, but sustainable, benefit is that increasing energy efficiency greatly reduces carbon emissions.

SUMMARY

Creating a zero emission world may be both the greatest environmental challenge & the greatest financial opportunity of our generation.

Buildings cause 33% of global climate changing greenhouse gases through the energy they consume. When

buildings use less energy, they can lower their operating costs and become significantly more valuable. In fact,

reducing their emissions by reducing their energy consumption may unlock more than $6.5 trillion in global

asset value. So why hasn’t this happened yet?

The Problem. Getting the right data to make the best decisions about energy efficiency in buildings is difficult.

A building’s energy use, operational and asset value data is rarely available. If it is, it is typically siloed in vendor hardware and software products, walled off from one another in expensive proprietary solutions.

Without easy access to data, building owners and investors have had difficulty proving how specific investments in building technology impact energy use and the bottom line.

The Solution. Bluenote will pull these data streams out of buildings and standardize it through a distributed blockchain solution called the Bluenote Protocol. The Bluenote Protocol is an open-access, confidential network that enables simple data sharing, data services, and building analysis in order to unlock new energy efficiency strategies in buildings. The software-based Bluenote Protocol can be used both with new applications and with energy technologies already installed in buildings throughout the world.

The Token. The Bluenote token is ERC20-compliant, utilizing smart contracts, which will be tradable under the ticker BNOW. Buildings and devices that integrate the Bluenote Protocol and share data are rewarded in Bluenote tokens. Buildings can then buy and use Bluenote tokens to purchase energy efficiency analytics on the Bluenote Protocol.

The Marketplace. The Bluenote Protocol simplifies and speeds up the energy efficiency service market. Rather than developing dedicated hardware and software integration for each vendor, a building connected to the protocol can buy a service with Bluenote tokens, and simply point the application to the location of their data already on the Bluenote Protocol. Further, as more data becomes linked through the Bluenote Protocol, applications will be able to mine the large data network for insights into building efficiency strategies that work, while preserving the confidentiality of the buildings sharing the data.

Who will use Bluenote?

● Building Owners and Managers can make retrofit decisions they can trust.

● Energy Tech Companies can have instantaneous access to building customers.

● Utilities gain a new way to manage the demand and costs of energy in real time.

● Financial Institutions can trace a change in asset value to verified energy reductions.

The Bluenote Protocol is a potentially revolutionary technology with a unique approach to the market. Where

other blockchain solutions in the energy industry simply attempt to tokenize energy trading, Bluenote instead

opens up an entirely new market for decentralized energy efficiency data services in buildings.

Why do we do this?

Since the COP21 climate conference in Paris in 2015, an international group of entrepreneurs, experts and investors has the same idea of working together as Bluenote Foundation to solve the biggest problems on earth, climate change, without being tied to the constraints of investors or politicians . They focus on solutions to restrictions on CO2 emissions that can be accessed globally, with sound financial returns.

Through the Bluenote Protocol, we can manage data for free, it is possible

innovators to create new products, and even entirely new markets, based on analyzing new high-quality universes and high-frequency data from buildings around the world. With Bluenote tokens as

incentive methods, buildings can enter new markets outside their traditional annual budgeting cycle, creating a virtuous cycle

reinvest in efficiency strategies.

Our Roadmap to a Zero Emission World.
