Software to Help Schools Measure Environmental Impact Wins Microsoft Award

The spirit of innovation among Microsoft Corp.’s partner community was celebrated today as TR Control Solutions Ltd. was announced as the first Platinum Ingenuity Point Award winner for its ecoDriver Schools solution. The award is a culmination of Microsoft’s Ingenuity Point contest, a worldwide competition open to independent software vendors (ISVs) that build solutions on Microsoft technology with the potential to address some of the world’s biggest challenges in the areas of education, healthcare and environmental sustainability.

“At Microsoft, we have always believed that computer technology coupled with the magic of software provides powerful tools for tackling some of the world’s toughest problems,” said Bill Gates, chairman of Microsoft. “The Ingenuity Point contest is one of the ways Microsoft recognizes innovative solutions developed by our partners to improve people’s lives by increasing literacy, improving healthcare and addressing environmental sustainability.”

Chosen from six Gold Award finalists from two phases of the yearlong competition, TR Control Solutions’ ecoDriver Schools solution helps raise awareness and reduce the carbon footprint in schools. Based on Windows and Microsoft .NET technologies, ecoDriver Schools monitors energy and water use and provides information and analysis that can then inform conservation plans, classroom education and student activities.
