EPFL and uHoo want to improve indoor environmental quality
Lausanne/Singapur - Die Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Lausanne (EPFL) arbeitet im Rahmen eines EU-Projekts an besseren Standards für die Umweltqualität in Innenräumen. Die dafür nötigen Daten lässt sie sich von der Firma uHoo mit Sitz in Singapur liefern.
EPFL is working on better indoor environmental quality (IEQ) standards as part of the EU INPERSO project. The aim is to develop a new approach to IEQ assessment that can then be used across Europe. This should help in particular with the refurbishment of residential and educational buildings.
Sarah Crosby, EPFL researcher and leader of the project, and her team have evaluated several solution providers who could supply the necessary environmental data for the project. According to a media release, they have now chosen the company uHoo from Singapore as their partner. The company can measure 13 indoor parameters with various sensors and display the data on a digital platform.
Dustin Jefferson Onghanseng, CEO and co-founder of uHoo, welcomes the collaboration with EPFL. “Our solution is designed to make a significant impact on the built environment by raising awareness for a healthier, greener and more conscious approach to indoor spaces,” he explains.
According to the company, uHoo’s environmental platform is used by private and public organisations worldwide for commercial, residential, industrial, healthcare and airport buildings. In addition to its headquarters in Singapore, the company also has locations in Hong Kong and the USA.
