Sustainable development in Lapland
The aim of the Towards Sustainable Tendering -project is to improve the energy efficiency, environmental expertise, values and functionalities of local businesses, municipalities, and provinces. The city of Kemijärvi works as the pilot environment for the project, and the web tool created in the project will be scaled to the whole Lapland. Partners in Kemijärvi and other provinces of East-Lapland will be involved in the analysis and optimization related to the tendering decisions. The materials and business networks developed through the project’s extensive collaborative work will provide a solid foundation for the web tool.
The project will establish regional STEM – models and economic models to design and program easily presentable 2D and 3D environment tools. In addition to these gamified environments, there will be a web tool developed for the policy-makers and the data of the web tool will be brought into visualized environments. The algorithms behind the tools take into account economical and natural science aspects such as the impact of purchase decisions on taxing, the employment situation, energy consumption, carbon footprint and ultimately, well-being. With these tools, it is possible to determine the best tendering decisions for sustainable development.
