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

Other Initiatives

Citizen Urban Health Laboratory

Location: Barcelona, Spain

Description: The Urban Health Lab is a collaborative space for experimentation, learning and practice to foster community participation in building more resilient, healthy, sustainable and inclusive neighbourhoods. The lab aims to create communities of learning and practice, working collectively to identify needs, problems and interests, and to foster creative ideas that improve neighbourhood conditions through experimentation, shared knowledge and scientific culture.

List of parameters measured: PM1, PM2.5, Temperature, Noise, NO2

CAIRGOBIKE Project

Location: Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, Belgium

Description: CAIRGOBIKE is designed to improve air quality in the Brussels Capital Region (BCR) by accelerating a modal shift from car/van to cargo bike to transport children, deliver goods and services through an integrated ecosystem of complementary nudging strategies. This innovative ecosystem will convert citizens and professionals to cargo bike use, ease the access to cargo bikes and create parking facilities. User community (citizens/businesses and non-profit) will be directly involved in air quality measurement and communication.

List of parameters measured: Temperature, Humidity, Black Carbon

Increasing Community Resilience in Climate Adaptation Process Project

Location: İstanbul, Türkiye

Description: With the establishment of the “Kadıköy Municipality Environmental Monitoring and Early Warning System”; We aim to create a resilient structure guided/supported by the local government with participation at the neighborhood scale and to raise awareness about climate change. Data is transferred to the "Kadıköy Municipality Environmental Monitoring and Early Warning System" for the detection of emergencies such as air pollution and heat wave/heat island effect that adversely affect public health, especially the fragile population.
