What makes your innovation unique?
The process of SMART CITY SENSING is based on three innovative pillars:
1) data acquisition by drones using multi- and thermographic cameras for precise recording of urban surface radiation – 2) evaluation of perceived temperature using digital measurements in the city model – 3) data provision in an interactive 3D model.

Advantages
• The use of drones eliminates the need for time-consuming on-site measurements.
• The system provides precise three-dimensional recording of the thermal environment and captures small-scale three-dimensional urban heat islands.
• Generated data supports planners with the thermal optimisation of urban spaces.

Awards
• Austria Innovation of the Year Award – 2021
• Energy Globe Styria 2023
• Burgenland Innovation Award
• BauSim2020 Best Paper Award
