1. A supply-chain characteristic-vectors minimizing method for an environmental characteristic-vectors of a gas transmitting from an upstream amenity to a downstream amenity, the supply-chain characteristic-vectors minimizing method comprising:
providing an upstream air quality monitor at the upstream amenity, the upstream air quality monitor comprising:
a first sensor responsive to a target substance;
sensing a set of upstream environmental parameters with the upstream air quality monitor;
providing an upstream SCADA system at the upstream amenity;
sensing a set of upstream operational parameters with the upstream SCADA system, the set of upstream operational parameters comprising:
an upstream energy amount;
transmitting both the set of upstream environmental parameters and the set of upstream operational parameters to a remote server;
providing a downstream air quality monitor at the downstream amenity, the downstream air quality monitor comprising:
a second sensor responsive to the target substance;
transmitting the gas from the upstream amenity to the downstream amenity;
sensing a set of downstream environmental parameters with the downstream air quality monitor;
providing a downstream SCADA system at the downstream amenity;
sensing a set of downstream operational parameters with the downstream SCADA system, the set of downstream operational parameters comprising:
a downstream energy amount;
transmitting both the set of downstream environmental parameters and the set of downstream operational parameters to the remote server;
calculating a set of upstream environmental characteristic-vectors from the set of upstream environmental parameters;
associating the set of upstream environmental characteristic-vectors to the upstream energy amount;
calculating a set of downstream environmental characteristic-vectors from the set of downstream environmental parameters;
associating the set of downstream environmental characteristic-vectors with the downstream energy amount;
training an environmental-characteristic-vectors-minimizing-machine-learning-model, wherein the environmental-characteristic-vectors-minimizing-machine-learning-model is capable of:
generating an environmental-characteristic-vectors-minimizing-machine-learning-model parameter for the upstream amenity and the downstream amenity with the environmental-characteristic-vectors-minimizing-machine-learning-model;
generating an environmental-characteristic-vectors-minimizing-simulation-model of the set of upstream environmental characteristic-vectors and the set of downstream environmental characteristic-vectors using the environmental-characteristic-vectors-minimizing-machine-learning-model parameter;
generating a set of simulated upstream environmental characteristic-vectors and a set of simulated downstream environmental characteristic-vectors of the downstream amenity with the environmental-characteristic-vectors-minimizing-simulation-model; and
minimizing the set of upstream environmental characteristic-vectors and the set of downstream environmental characteristic-vectors, by analyzing the set of simulated upstream environmental characteristic-vectors and the set of simulated downstream environmental characteristic-vectors of the downstream amenity.
