TERA4Schools
Project TERA4Schools Sector School buildings, comfort indoor Test site Carelli Middle School– Forlani in Conversano (BA) Objective Raise public awareness and institutions about the need to improve the conditions of the school environment and protect the health of pupils and promote concentration and learning. Proposed action Installazione Installation in the classrooms, in the gyms and in the school offices, of a hundred sensors connected to the BEETA control unit, to monitor general electrical and electronic equipment consumption, thermal consumption, humidity levels, brightness, carbon dioxide and vibrations. Expected benefits Il 45.5% of cases the system detected higher level of CO2 (more than 1000ppm), a limit that identifies an unfavorable environmental condition for the pupils’ attention and concentration. In particular, the greatest presence of carbon dioxide has been detected in the most numerous classes and on winter days, when the window is opened rarely for the air change. The result obtained led to a proposal of a technical table, composed by regional councilors and interested people, as well as schools and companies, to extend the experimentation to reach a draft law on carbon dioxide monitorin in schools and other public spaces.

Continnova
Project Continnova Sector Agrifood Partner Ifac, Ditro, UNIFG, Poliba, Ingenium, CNR Test site IFAC S.p.A. Description Tera has designed a demonstrator for an “innovative isothermal and intermodal container” for the transport of fruit and vegetables and for their conservation during the transport. Result Tera know-how has contributed to implement the whole project, in particular it was subject to technology transfer by implementin a SMart Gateway and a SW that the project partners used for the final demonstration. The smart gateway manages the chemical-physical parameters tinto the mobile containers with the aim of mantaining the right conditions for storage during transport. BACK TO THE LIST
