Environmental monitoring networks are becoming increasingly important due to climate change. They continuously record data on our environment - from air temperature, humidity and wind speeds up to solar radiation and precipitation. Particularly in cities, where climate change and the associated environmental effect have a tangible impact, environmental monitoring networks provide the information needed to make informed decisions and encourage sustainable urban development. With CityScreening, we support and counsel municipalities on how they can use environmental monitoring networks and data analyses to strengthen their own climate resilience.
Workshops
Discover how measurement network solutions create the basis for sustainable urban development. We will show you and your employees the world of urban measurement networks and broaden the horizon about opportunities and limitations in the collection and utilization of environmental meteorological data. In our workshops, we will explore and address the following key questions, among others:
What can be measured and how?
What opportunities and potential do urban monitoring networks offer to your municipality? How can urban measurement networks add value in the fulfilment of mandatory and/or voluntary municipal tasks?
Which data and information are particularly relevant for your city? Which data and data products are already available and what information is additionally required? What quality of data is necessary to be useful?
Which regulations, norms and standards need to be observed?
Technical consulting - targeted support services for your measurement network
Would you like to implement an urban monitoring network and need specific support in individual areas? We will be glad to help you with questions about your urban monitoring network and provide assistance with planning, design and piloting. Our focus is the following points:
Design & site planning: Development of strategies for a demand-oriented and efficient urban measurement network
Device selection & installation: Selection of suitable measuring devices, their placement and installation as well as setting up data transmission via telecommunications.
Urban Laboratories: Implementation of a defined test field, which is operated under real-world conditions and where ideas, technologies and concepts can be tested and researched. This sensitizes people to the challenges of dealing with environmental meteorological data.
Measurement campaigns: Assessing the effectiveness of a climate resilience measures primarily serve to answer specific questions. If designed appropriately, they are a good tool for simulating typical tasks in monitoring network planning and operation in a local environment.
High-quality and reliable data requires precise and well considered network planning. Therefore, start your monitoring network setup with a pilot phase in a manageable project. The knowledge gained will then serve as the basis for developing and successfully implementing a large-scale urban monitoring network.
