What is the name of your initiative?DIGIdat

How would you describe the main mission of your initiative?Measure/monitor air quality, Raise awareness/education

Please provide a short description of your initiative (What is being done? Who is participating? What are your main goals?) This text will appear on the main page.With the help of the pupils from 10 Austrian middle schools we investigate the indoor air quality in classrooms and possible measures to improve it. Using Arduino based IoT sensor kits, which are programmed and looked for by the pupils, we monitor temperature, humidity, CO2-, PM- and VOC concentration before and after an intervention. Interventions include raising awareness, installing traffic light warnings or retrofitting mechanical ventilation units.

Who is your main audience?Citizens, Schools

If possible, provide the list of partners involved in the initiative.• University of Innsbruck, Unit for Energy Efficient Buildings & Digital Science Center
• University College of Teacher Education
• Association „komfortlüftung.at“
• Association „bink – Initiative Baukulturvermittlung“
• openSenseLab gGmbH

How is this initiative funded?Other

Context – OtherFunded by the Austrian Federal Minstry of Education, Science and Research through the Sparkling Science initiative

Please provide an estimation of the total budget of the initiative (in €):100 000 – 500 000

What is the duration of the initiative?1 to 5 years

How many participants (citizen scientists, volunteers, etc.) have been involved (approximately)?500 – 1000

Co-Designing Inclusive Mobility: CoMobility

Location: Warszawa, Poland

Description: In CoMobility, we measured PM2.5, PM10, NO2, and noise in three elementary schools in Warsaw, Poland as well as conducted a series of co-creation workshops, where young experts (2nd and 3rd grade pupils) collaborated with adult experts to enhance more sustainable mobility solutions and reduce the use of private cars in their schools neighbourhoods. Among the co-created and implemented solutions are bicycle road maps, street art, children gazette, and single actions such as children manifestations or mime performances.

List of parameters measured: PM2.5, PM10, NO2, Temperature, O3, Humidity, Noise

Urbanity

Location: Kjeller, Norway

Description: URBANITY is a research project looking at opportunities to use smart technology to monitor pollution and traffic in Norwegian cities. The aim is to provide the municipality and its citizens with better information about pollution and traffic where they live.

NordicPATH, a project about Nordic participatory, healthy, and people-centered cities.

Location: Kjeller, Norway

Description: NordicPATH’s overall objective is to establish a new model for citizens' participation and collaborative planning in the Nordic countries focused on urban air quality and the interlinked challenge of climate change. The project focuses on strategies to engage citizens in the process of socio-technological change required by planners and designers to provide the built environment and the services that will shape future sustainable cities with a human-centered approach.
