Oacity - Green City Oases

Oacity wrote: As a team, we responded to the climathon challenge to create sustainable green oasis in cities. Our aim with that is to transform existing urban areas for more sustainable places to improve air quality and promote biodiversity. However, in order to achieve our aim, we have to involve and empower inhabitants. Nowadays inhabitants feel the need to be part of the development and decision making. Of the neighborhoods and feel themselves owner of their places. With this development we came up with the solution to provide a program with modular elements for outdoor space. In the beginning we will aim for inhabitants of rental houses. These inhabitants often don't feel connected with the outside area of their building... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Intelligence for heating systems

othermo wrote: The generation of heat and hot water is responsible for almost half of europe’s energy demand and hence one of the biggest contributors to co2 emissions. Othermo saves energy by making heating systems smart. Among others, othermo considers demand as well as local renewable generation forecasts in the control strategy. Thereby, we are able to lower the expenses for energy and at the same time reduce carbon emissions. A win-win situation for the building owner and the environment...

Extreme weather

LoWA - Local Weather Alert wrote: We take weather forecasting to the city grid level. Collecting weather data such as temperature, humidity or even wind speed from a broad local network of sensors constituting among others so-called lorawan sensors and city weather stations, we create a unique dataset mapping the local city weather. If weather parameters reach a critical level due to extreme weather events, we are able to provide location-specific alerts tailored to the weather conditions through our api. These can be used to warn people ahead of time for example in case of extreme heat or flooding... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Regulation of inner city traffic

The Toll Both Zone Team wrote: A person is driving alone in their car. As this person approaches the city, ai technology registers the car and the amount of people driving in the car. A fee is then charged depending on the zone, whichis entered, and decreases according to the amount of passengers. The bill is then sent on a monthly basis. The zones become increasingly expensive as the car approaches the city center. There is an opportunity to enforce low/zero-emission city zones. Alongside the toll system, initiatives for more sustainable options are launched. These can include improvements within the public transport system (cheaper fares, etc...
