Healthy School ProjectIs school environment really healthy for our kids?
Project information
Environment monitoring - Healthy school
• Since February 2017
• At Smíchovská střední průmyslová škola(technical high school in Prague, historical building)
Goals
• Analyze indoor air quality in selected classrooms of selected high school (CO2
concentration, humidity, temperature)
• Assess the impact of outdoor air quality and noise on the classroom conditions
• Provide students with measurement data to improve learning

What does indoor air quality mean?
Air pollution caused by humans
How the quality of indoor air is measured?
Principle of NDIR method of CO2 measurement
NDIR – nondispersive infrared
Back to the basics – what is ppm about?
CO2 is measured in concentration units - ppm
- 1 ppm
- 999 999
- 1
1 000 000
parts per million
1 / 1000 000
5 000 ppm Maximum hygienic limit value
2 000 – 5 000 ppm Headache, tiredness, drowsiness
1 000 – 2 000 ppmCommon discomfort, reduced ability to concentrate
800 – 1 000 ppm Recommended concentration in a room
400 – 600 ppm Risk of over-ventilation – waste of energy
350 – 450 ppm Common outdoor concentration
Impact of indoor air quality on students
Live demo – how do you feel right now?
Indoor air quality measurement in this conference room
Overview of the technical implementation
• Local IQRF mesh network with PROTRONIX sensors for indoor air monitoring
• CAMEA units for on-site outdoor air monitoring
• CESVA sensor for outdoor noise level monitoring
• Data normalization, storage and presentation
Verified Conclusions – pilot installation
• Remote GW management
• Resin.io was used for pilot installation as fleet management application for rapid and fault-tolerant development
• Sensor management
• Coordinated locally
• Part of the IoT Data Platform in the future
• In cooperation with IQRF Alliance a sensor reading application was developed (10 messages/90 sec)

PLATFORM
CLOUD PLATFORM
• Already used in production for other projects
• Supports identification of non-standard and operational events
• Immediate visualization of received data
• Integration with SaaS enables remote deployment of functional code to GWs
• In massive infrastructures,inventory management becomes crucial
IoT Data Platform workshop
• Interested in the platform architecture? Visit our workshop today at 12:00 (Leo, Virgo) to discuss
• Our experience
• Lessons learned
• IoT Infrastructure scaling with Docker and Kubernetes
• Resin.io details
