Smart Cities - Project cool-INN

The Cool-INN project is testing the use of blue infrastructure in Innsbruck to improve the microclimate at urban hotspots. The project was awarded with the VCÖ prize.

The impacts of the project are being evaluated using both qualitative and quantitative factors. Physical parameters such as temperature and humidity, as well as data on weather extremes, are being collected. Additionally, subjective perceptions of passers-by and residents before and after implementation will be taken into account to allow for scientifically sound conclusions to be drawn.

Decentlab sensors, including the DL-ATM41, DL-ATM22, DL-PYR, and DL-TRS12are being used on the one hand to evaluate the effect, on the other hand to control the cooling water elements.
