What is the EcoRating?
The Biyiud EcoRating for cities is the decarbonization score obtained in the last 12 months from grid electricity savings, with results normalized against all cities in the same population category. The calculations are fed by real and verified data obtained from reading all electricity consumption points in the country.
When a citizen registers in the Biyiud App, they receive the active EcoRating points of their city.
