Hammar, CEO of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/smartsensordevices.com\/\">Smart Sensor Devices<\/a>, one of Urban ICT Arena\u2019s partners, is anticipating an increased focus on smarter and safer offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 The understanding of how the indoor environment affects our health, well-being and, most importantly, the quality of our work, has steadily increased. Due to the pandemic, this trend has accelerated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, good air quality alone will not stop the spread of the coronavirus. And our offices will probably need to be more spacious moving forward, or at least&nbsp;allow for distancing during meetings. But Hammar sees air quality as part of a larger context \u2013 making office workers feel secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 If office workers have data and knowledge of their office environment, it will contribute to a sense of security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/smartsensordevices.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/kontor1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smartsensordevices.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/kontor1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/smartsensordevices.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/kontor1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smartsensordevices.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/kontor1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/smartsensordevices.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/kontor1.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013&nbsp;<strong>We have developed a system of connected sensors for measuring air quality in real-time<\/strong>, including temperature, humidity, particles, CO2 and VOC. All the data&nbsp;is stored in the cloud and can be processed for different purposes, including controlling ventilation, heat, and air condition. We have also developed an app that enables office workers to look at the data and see for themselves how good the air quality is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And while the pandemic has made it obvious that technology allows for working remotely, Hammar still believes that we need our offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 We will need our offices for physical meetings and for tasks that are impossible to do from home.
