Ingersoll Rand has launched Smart Citizen 2.0, the sequel to its interactive Facebook application called ‘Smart Citizen’.According to the company, Smart Citizen App, launched in 2013, received overwhelming response while educating its audience in the country on conserving natural resources in their day to day living. The app had successfully generated a reach of more than 400,000 with close to 14000 engagements and more than 16000 fans.

Smart Citizen 2.0 is in the form of a contest based on the principles of REUSE, REDUCE & RECYCLE. The contest allows the participant to create a whole city consisting of houses, offices and industrial workshops. It allows setting the optimum rules for a sustainable society in order to maintain a balance between the energy consumed and energy conserved by using innovative methods, added the company in its press statement.
The winner of the contest stands a chance to win a brand new interactive Air Conditioner from Trane, a brand of Ingersoll Rand that offers residential solutions.
