Vaquita Technologies wrote: Healthy waters everywhere. All the time. . We are developing a compact water quality sensory station that blends with the environment. This station is made of environmentally friendly materials that can be customized to the stakeholders' needs to trigger alarms and read water measurements remotely in real-time. Instead of waiting to get a result by manually extracting a water sample, our customers will get real-time information of their water quality, thus preventing significant environmental damage due to the live alarm feature. They will also be able to add, remove, or replace different sensors according to their needs, having the reassurance that they can drink/swim/fish in those waters and can react to pollution alarms...

#Geneveuxplusdautos wrote: To work towards reducing co2 emissions in geneva our proposition is to provide a radical yet digestible weekly event. Our proposition is to create car-free zones every wednesday (when kids under 16 leave school at noon) in selected areas. Markets would take place on closed streets, the cars having been moved to ideally centralized parking locations. The public transport system would be free or provide promotions, especially for those directly affected by the ‘event’. To compensate, businesses will be encouraged to let those who can, work from home on wednesday and experience a carless day. The objective is to incite social change in habits and values by creating the opportunity for individuals and families to experience new routines... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Infinity

Infinity wrote: We propose automated bins based on nir spectroscopy that sort textiles by fibre for recycling (skipping the waste/incineration emissions): natural fiber can be used for producing new clothes (skipping the growing and harvesting emissions). Synthetics can be routed to pet to products like bottles (skipping the petroleum emissions). The infinity bin is fully automated. Clothing pieces are inserted one by one on the belt which starts up (similar to automated book drops in some libraries). The fibre sensor (fibersort) works by measuring how much light from an infrared light source is absorbed by each textile. The reflected light creates a characteristic spectrum of each fibre type or blend combination... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Solarity

Solarity wrote: The purpose of solarity is to help the state reach its goals in terms of the number of solar energy panels installed. It is a platform that incentivizes home owners who have a potential roof and financial means to install solar panels. It is based on a referral system which rewards current solar panels owners to act as the psychological push (“a technological evangelist”) to change people’s mind on buying solar panels, and push them to act. It’s much easier to go for a coffee with a friend that you trust rather than having to research for yourself on the internet and trying to motivate yourself to act on something that you’re not an expert in...

The system is composed of different pieces of fabric (either organic or recycled) that hang from the hooks that are already used for other purposes (christmas lights, publicity, etc. ). During summer, the shades sails can be easily installed by the same company that istalls the christmas lights because it uses the same mechanism. During winter, the fabric shades can be stored, so they can be used for the following years... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon
