The Challenge

A Fortune 500 corporation wanted to reduce wet-weather discharge and enhance environmental benefits of their existing flood irrigated green roof while maintaining functionality.

The Solution

OptiNimbus maintains a forecast-based water level in the flood irrigated layer of the turfgrass green roof. The intelligent system allows the flood irrigation layer to be drawn down through evapotranspiration before forecasted rain events. This results in reductions in potable water use and decreased runoff impacts. This corporation was able to improve water conservation as well as decrease runoff during wet-weather by incorporating OptiNimbus.

Vestas: Turning Climate into Capital with Big Data

Making wind a reliable source of energy depends greatly on the placement of the wind turbines used to produce electricity. Turbulence is a significant factor as it strains turbine components, making them more likely to fail. Vestas wanted to pinpoint the optimal location for wind turbines to maximize power generation and reduce energy costs.

Monitoring Air Polluants with AirQ

Air Quality and the monitoring of pollutants that can cause health issues is becoming more important to our daily lives with governments and regulators keen to both monitor and manage the impacts of poor air quality caused by a range of pollutants.

Predicting Eruptions in the Masaya Volcano with wireless Sensors

Volcanoes are one of the most unpredictable and impressive natural phenomenons. Worldwide researchers and scientists have always been trying to discover what happen inside volcanoes to predict future eruptions that will save lives. Their activity has provoked along years great disasters destroying entire settlements with lava flows and also endangering the environment or human health due to gas emanations or ash falls. Some vulcanologists are currently focused on working with the latest technology to monitor in real-time everything that happens inside and outside the crater to predict eruptions. Qwake, a global brand that merges ground-breaking scientific expeditions with cutting edge technology to drive positive change, has trusted in Libelium technology to develop a wireless sensor network in the Mouth of Hell, Masaya volcano in Nicaragua.

Monitoring Unmanned Weather Stations

Unmanned weather stations play an essential role in the effort to analyze and predict the world's ever-changing weather patterns. The unmanned stations collect and store large amounts of weather data and then download the data at regular intervals to a back-end host for analysis and long-term storage. The computing device housed in the weather station must be robust enough to work continuously for long periods of time while exposed to a wide range of temperatures. It should also be able to collect readings from various sensors that use different data transmission protocols, and have the capability to store large amounts of data.
