really friendly and although we didn't get to do a big farewell altogether, we have been told they are planning a get together in London to have a catch-up and see where Run Of The Earth has got to! Lasting Impressions I throughly enjoyed my internship, I love being busy and this enabled me to use all sorts of creative, problem solving, time management and decision making skills. The team hugely valued the input of the interns and this was obvious from the start. I felt very comfortable with everyone there and was immediately asked to give my opinion on all areas of the project. I still don't know what I want to do when I am older, but if it included working at somewhere as fun, creative and interesting as the Eden Project then I would be delighted. What practical advice would you give to future interns? Don't stress about it. The Eden Project team are always happy to help and give advice. They will keep you busy with tasks, but also completely understand if you turn around and tell them you have too much work to complete, they want your feedback. If you are asked to do something you have never done before, give it a go, and ask if you need help!
ECOSYNC First Year Postgraduate, DPhil Engineering Science, Remote working Work Projects EcoSync is a company that help manage building's heating
energy
consumption
through
smart
radiator valves and other measurement devices. My job was to create a calculator that estimate the heating energy consumption in each room of the building. Based on the energy consumption, I was also able to calculate the associated carbon dioxide emission. Furthermore, the heating loss in each room can also be calculated using temperature data. Using these data, we were able to rank each room in the building based on their energy consumption, carbon emission, and heat loss. These room level information are also aggregated to give information about the whole building. These information are presented in
