From August 4 to 6, as part of the OpenDBL project, Marija Skromule, an electronics engineer at the Institute of Electronics and Computer Science, and Ivars Andris Mackus, a programming technician, went on a business trip to Valencia, Spain to install the latest generation of environmental monitoring sensors in the partner building “Mislata La Fábrica“. These sensors were developed at the Institute of Electronics and Computer Science and are designed to continuously collect accurate data on:
- air temperature;
- relative humidity;
- CO₂ concentration;
- the amount of organic particles in the air;
- overall air quality.
The sensors transmit the measurements locally to base stations using LoRa wireless technology, which ensures energy-efficient and long-range data transmission.
In addition to environmental data sensors, electricity meters and heat flow sensors were also installed, which are integrated into the TestBed sensor network solution developed by EDI. This system allows for the centralized collection of data from a specific location, as well as the ability to visualize, analyze, and perform various calculations and summaries.
Real-time data is currently being received from the partner building “Mislata La Fábrica”. This information is visualized in interactive graphs and charts, which allow for easy analysis of measurement dynamics and identification of significant changes in the building’s indoor environment.
