Room climate station

Inadequate behaviours (heating, ventilation, etc.) in residential premises frequently result in damp and, in many cases, the formation of mould. In residential premises, this can lead to significant economic consequences and, above all, can be harmful to health (causing mycoses, mycogenic allergies, mycotoxicoses, and other conditions).

  • Avoiding mould formation
  • Ensuring that the correct interior climate is provided
  • Recording the current status of the interior air using sensors
  • Warnings and proposed solutions to rectify unhealthy conditions
  • ADELE – Automated detection and support for the remediation of mould and air hygiene problems (funding code: 17PNT020)
  • VAMOS – Efficiency of care through assistive, modular technologies in needs-oriented scenarios (funding code: 16KT0944)
  • Irrespective of the VAMOS infrastructure
  • Irrespective of the age of all user groups
