Environment
Protecting and strengthening our natural environment is essential for the future of our planet — from sustainable agriculture and responsible waste management to advancing home decarbonisation and reducing fuel poverty. DAFNI has worked with collaborators on numerous projects, including models that estimate energy efficiency, supporting water modelling and mapping digital twins for construction waste distribution.
