Air Quality measurement with BigData

Draken Technology Transfer Association wrote: Our solution is a remote measurement device which can be installed on public transportation vehicles, and could make measurements in pm2. 5 and pm10 with an 5 seconds of maximum sampling rate. The data consits more environmental data such as the exact gps position of the measurement, temperature, humidity, etc. The large amount of data could be determined by time and geographical position, so the past and present data could be monitored, pollutant sources could be tracked. The large amount of data and the different data sources can lead to a correlation understanding between different parameters (dewpoint, temperature, etc. ). The prototype have a particulate matter sensor, a gps module and a gprs mobile radio... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

coltivare l'incoltivabile

Dream Team wrote: Coltivare l'incoltivabile. The solution aims to repurpose disused urban areas for agricultural production. The consumption of soil due to excessive cementation keeps the arable and usable areas away from the citizen, leaving instead places of degradation and vacant structures. Our cooperative aims to reconvert spaces urban decommissioned spaces through aquaponic agriculture and the community supported agricolture model . Reconvert abandoned urban spaces through the use of modules for aquaponic agriculture and develop a model of cooperative cooperation with the community supported agricolture (csa) method, i. E. A community of citizens born to grow their food directly in a sustainable and supportive way... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Smart Competer

Dundees wrote: Smart meters are the future and can play a central role in controlling the ever-increasing power consumption. However, they also present us with some problems. For many, electricity consumption is an abstract concept. With our "smart compete" solution, we offer a visualized and gamified solution in which users are offered both an incentive and an alternative value with the help of competition and complementary currency...

Closing the Natural Loop of Poop

DungBeetle wrote: We provide a sustainable way to do the most natural thing in the world. Our dungbeetle dry toilets work without water, nevertheless, user comfort is at the highest possible standard. There is no unpleasant smell or other inconveniences, it is the adequate toilet for everyone, everywhere!. Instead of contaminating drinking water with excrement, we mimic the natural nutrient cycle. Composting is a save and eco-friendly way of dealing with human waste, and it produces valuable organic fertilizer for food production. By reestablishing this fundamental cycle, greenhouse gas emissions and energy input can be reduced tremendously in wastewater treatment and fertilizer production...

Transformational workspaces for e-waste

E-cowork wrote: Technology is great, until it stops working. Which is when climate heroes come in and whisk the product away for recycling. Only that, in most cases, specially in developing countries, the recycling is done by very low-skilled informal entrepreneurs at the bottom of the socio-economic pyramid. And in dismal conditions, with immense health and environmental costs and few safeguards - whether legal, social or financial. E-[co]work is about creating co-working spaces for these small and micro eco-entrepreneurs, providing not only affordable and safe spaces with the right tools and technologies to be more efficient and productive, but more importantly enabling them to access products (eg...
