Breeze Technologies
Overall team size 15 staff
Breeze deploys its own low-cost air quality sensors that detect all common air pollutants. Thanks to an artificial intelligence- based cloud calibration technology, data gathered by these sensors is comparable to public monitoring networks in quality and accuracy. Based on the gathered data and external data sources a hyperlocal map of air quality is generated.
Customers / Partners
Air quality challenges are matched with a catalogue of more than 3.500 clean air actions and their potential impact in a local implementation is calculated. An artificial intelligence then recommends the most efficient interventions for local challenges, potentially raising the effectiveness of clean air action plans by 10 X.
