As an interface between city administration, business, science and urban society, the Smart City Lab creates a space for exchange, collaboration and new perspectives. Digitalization becomes tangible through projects, technologies and ideas that make the city more liveable and sustainable.
A central topic: environmental and air quality in urban areas. The lab uses modern measuring systems such as our air-Q which visitors can use to experience live how smart sensor technology records, analyses and visualizes data on air composition. This makes it clear what contribution intelligent technologies make to health, quality of life and smart urban management.
Since 2019, the Kurt Mausur School has been struggling with overheated classrooms and insufficient air circulation, especially in the summer months. Teachers and children report concentration problems, headaches and restricted teaching. Temperature problems also occur in winter, with unpleasantly cold rooms at the beginning of the week. The aim of the project is to improve these conditions and find sustainable solutions. find out here how the air-Q can be used in a school to improve indoor air quality.
Imperial College London uses the air-Q in several scientific studies on air quality. Here we go into the big WellHome study in which the air quality in households with asthmatic or allergic children is being investigated. The researchers are particularly interested in determining the type of pollutants present, their sources and the interactions between these pollutants and the health conditions of the children. Find out here why the air-Q is an indispensable tool for Imperial College London for researching indoor air quality.
