Highland Council is beginning to use internet of things (IoT) sensors to monitor and gather data on factors connected to its use of buildings and rooms.
It is running the £400,000 project with IoT service and solutions provider North, utilising the IoT Scotland network with sensors that measure CO2 levels, temperature and humidity, ventilation, electricity consumption and light levels.
It plans to use the data within its analytics platform to reduce costs and cut emissions, while improving the environment in building such as care homes and schools.
North has supplied its data enablement platform that decodes, stores, visualises and shares information from the sensors.
