quality improvement potentials and the underlying technology mix. CyPT highlights the benefits from key performance indicators to enable city leaders to deliver
long-term advantages strongly linked to short-term gains. Cities can maximise
CyPT results by identifying the most cost-effective solutions for improving air
quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. By studying capital and operational
investments across the lifespan of each technology, CyPT can report on kilograms
of CO 2 eq. as well as PM10 and NO x levels for every euro spent. This was shown in
the example of Vienna, where untapped cost-effective technology opportunities
show how to meet its CO 2 mitigation targets. The CyPT helps to optimize
investment strategies for your city’s long-term needs. This was shown at the
example of Copenhagen, where almost all of the technology investments must
come from sources outside of the city budget.
