The main objective of the project was to test technologies for monitoring microclimatic parameters of the urban environment in the street space and the subsequent development of a methodology for the implementation of this type of measurements. Monitoring was carried out using a network of sensors to map the heat island in Prague and to detect differences in the behaviour of the measured characteristics in different city environments (parks, streets with and without greenery, courtyards, etc.). The methodology consists of a technological and an implementation part, the basis for its development was the experience gained in the pilot project.
The data collected from the sensors was transferred to the data platform of the Prague Capital City app Golemio, where it was stored, processed and further made available in the form of a data layer. Thanks to the project, a database was created for the design, validation and calibration of measures to mitigate extreme climate events (especially heat waves and droughts) in the urban environment. Suitable sensor parameters were defined in the feasibility study.
