6. ClimateCam Billboard
With out ClimateCam it would be like trying to stop people from speeding in a world where motor vehicles have no speedometers
ClimateCam will be used to measure and report reductions in city wide greenhouse gas emissions.
The Development Approval for the world’s first city smart meter and greenhouse gas speedometer has been lodged with Newcastle City Council for installation on this high profile site in the CBD.
Construction is expected to start in the new financial year.
The LED screen will promote the Solar Cities program and report the City’s progress toward achieving its new energy consumption and energy demand reduction targets that will be confirmed at the Regions 3rd Energy Town meeting.
Hourly updates from the City’s 14 Zone substations will also be displayed on the ClimateCam billboard and on the climatecam website.

7. Hourly Data Capture and Storage for the City’s 15 Zones
Newcastle’s ClimateCam is Globally Unique
The consumption data is updated for each of the 15 ClimateCam Zones on the ClimateCam website.
We now plan to map the end energy use of each of the 15 Zones to assist us in our target setting for 2012, 2020 and 2050
Hourly Data Capture and Storage for the City’s 15 Zones

8. Newcastle’s 15 Zones LIVING TEST LABORATORY FOR CLEAN TECHNOLOGY
The geographic boundaries for each of the zones can be seen on this map within the new website.
This allows the residents to learn which Zone they belong to and to monitor their progress as the Together TODAY program is rolled out
