Integrated Micro-environmental Monitoring System for Construction Sites

An automatic real-time monitoring system that can effectively assess and analyse the micro-environment in construction sites

The Integrated micro-Environmental Monitoring System (IEMS) aims to provide an effective service platform for environmental monitoring in construction sites, with the ability to incorporate the real-time environmental information into a Building Information Modelling (BIM) platform. IEMS can also enhance current on-site risk assessment, while raising the awareness of environmental quality of construction sites.

Special Features and Advantages

Monitoring of different environment parameters, fully automated and continuous data collection and analysis
Real-time monitoring and health risk/hazard screening in construction sites
Integrated system with mobile and station-based monitoring devices, server, and mobile application
Outputs from the system can also be incorporated into a BIM platform

Applications

Micro-environment monitoring for construction sites
Micro-environmental data collection and monitoring for specific areas other than construction sites (e.g. bus terminals and shopping malls)
Widely applicable for different environments, e.g. personal household monitoring
