Need
San Sebastian aspires to become a modern, efficient and sustainable smart city thanks to technology. In this sense, one of the first measures has been to implement an urban air quality sensor network. In this way, it is possible to complement the existing fixed stations and expand the measuring points and the capacity to collect information.
This action, entrusted to Kunak, is part of SmartKalea. This project aims to improve the quality of life and generate new business opportunities through Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).
The integration of this urban air quality sensor network and the sending of the data collected is done through Rest API to the SmartKalea platform. This tool allows, for example, the analysis of different monitoring indicators, facilitating also the management of the different subsystems object of the project.
Objectives:
- To achieve greater energy and economic savings in three main areas: shops, housing and city infrastructure, while maintaining its commitment to the environment.
- Encourage citizen participation and raise awareness among citizens and businesses about energy saving and sustainability.
- Generate new business opportunities for businesses, local companies and technology partners.
