Researchers from Tallin University of Technology have worked together with municipalities to monitor air quality in 45 kindergartens and schools in Estonia. To do so, they have developed DigiAudit which is a digital platform collecting information coming from heating, ventilation and lighting sensors into a single platform. In this platform data can be analysed and information coming from smart meters is also included.
The platform allows to have an overview on indoor environmental quality and energy consumption, helping to make informed decisions about, for example, ventilation and energy use.
