Clean air is a prerequisite for us humans to feel good and develop. How the living environment in cities can be improved and how a healthier environment can be shaped – this is what the new TwinAIR project will investigate over a four-year period starting from 2022 to 2026.
The project will work to increase knowledge about air quality, collect data and create tools about health linked to air quality in the home, on transport and in different types of premises. For example, common policies and frameworks for indoor air pollution will be formed, and new technology will enable air quality management through digital twins and much more.
Project pilot on campus
Akademiska Hus and Linköping University will mostly participate in one of the project's pilots. The pilot includes both Campus Norrköping and Campus Valla in Linköping. Kungsgatan in Norrköping is also part of it, as well as the bus fleet that the university provides between the university's various campuses. The pilot is about air quality management using simulation in a digital twin and developing an adaptive recommendation system for the users of the environments.
"We are working to ensure that all our campuses are sustainable and, together with Linköping University and the TwinAIR project, we hope to further increase our knowledge and understanding of health-promoting environments and solutions for those who stay on our campuses. The project also gives us the opportunity to explore and apply new technical solutions and ways of interacting with those who spend time in our environments in research collaboration," says Tobias Davidsson, Business Developer at Akademiska Hus.
TwinAIR is funded through the European Union's Horizon programme No101057779.
