If you are a commercial real estate operator dealing with high energy costs and poor air quality complaints — this project developed digital twins and virtual sensors that allow you to control building management systems to mitigate health impacts.
Digital Twin System for Monitoring and Improving Indoor Air Quality in Public Spaces
Imagine having a digital mirror of a building that shows exactly where invisible pollutants are floating in real-time. It works like a weather map for your office or school, telling you when to open windows or turn on filters to keep people healthy. By using smart sensors and apps, it helps everyone breathe cleaner air without guessing.
What needed solving
Indoor air pollution is often invisible and poorly managed, leading to health issues for residents and workers. Current building systems lack the real-time data and predictive tools needed to mitigate these pollutants effectively.
What was built
A FIWARE based data management platform and a set of digital twins with virtual sensors for monitoring and controlling indoor air quality.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are an urban transit authority dealing with pollutant exposure in passenger cabins — this project developed sensing tools tested in buses and vans that provide evidence for better mobility policies.
If you are a hospital administrator dealing with the need for sterile and healthy indoor environments — this project developed a FIWARE based data management platform to monitor and control air quality in medical settings.
Quick answers
What is the cost or price of the solution?
Based on available project data, the specific commercial price is not listed, although the project received an EU contribution of EUR 6,925,582 for development.
Can this be scaled to an industrial level?
The project is designed for scale, featuring 6 diverse pilot sites across 10 countries covering residential, public, and medical buildings.
What are the IP and licensing terms?
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not provided, but the system utilizes a FIWARE based platform for data management.
How does it integrate with existing systems?
It integrates with building management systems and uses a FIWARE based platform to accommodate data needs across different pilot sites.
What is the implementation timeline?
The project is active from 2022-09-01 and is scheduled to conclude on 2026-08-31.
Who built it
The consortium is well-balanced for commercialization, featuring a 38% industry ratio with 9 industrial partners, including 7 SMEs. With 24 partners across 10 countries, the project has strong cross-border validation and a mix of academic research (12 partners) and practical application, reducing the gap between lab results and market needs.
