We develop strategies for a sustainable and healthy urban environment.
Outdoor Environmental Quality encompasses the environmental conditions in urban settings that bear a direct impact on the health and well-being of urban centres’ residents and visitors.
We offer a consulting service that is characterised by the integration of different parameters of environmental quality, underpinned by tools and knowledge in different domains and using an integrated working methodology. This approach facilitates the creation and design of innovative strategies and solutions adapted to each context.
The strategies allow thermal comfort (including microclimatic control), air quality and acoustic comfort to be measured, analysed and improved.
Thermal comfort
We have experience in mapping the human body’s thermal response to their surroundings and in analysing heat island effects in the design phase of urban buildings. The studies include different scenarios (climate, including climate change forecasts, and possible solutions to be adopted, both in terms of urban planning and materials and vegetation)
Air quality
As regards air quality, AIGUASOL offers a consulting service aimed at supporting local strategies to improve air quality, based on technical expertise and experience in monitoring systems, data analysis, the development of IoT platforms, as well as communication and public awareness projects.
Featured Projects
Mar d’Ombres: a shading solution against climate change
As members of Batec, we conducted a comprehensive study to analyze the improvement of thermal comfort under the shading structure "Mar d'Ombres", assessing its real impact through detailed monitoring over five months.
LÍQUENS. Environmental panel. Monitoring, awareness and participation in air quality and noise levels
LÍQUENS is an innovative project developed by AIGUASOL, which was the winner of the “Call for Solutions” competition at the 2015 edition of the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona
