Measurement, Monitoring and Environmental E� ciency Assessment – innovations through new thinking

MMEA research areas

”The impact of the program is expected to manifest as a new business development platform and increased competitiveness in the global market.”

Platforms• Interoperable measurement systems • Management systems for environmental effi ciency

Sensor & monitoring technologies• Remote sensing• Particles & emissions

Pilots & demonstrations• MMEA Testbed • Business pilots • SME

Figure 2. MMEA value chain• EE = environmental effi ciency

Globally there is a growing need to control emissions and to monitor the environment and industrial processes. Global trends indicate that more public databases will be opened. There are also new opportunities in the increasing power of scientifi c computing, sensor & monitoring technologies and ICT technology generally.

Drivers for the MMEA research program

mmeaMeasurement, Monitoring and Environmental Assessment

The aim of the MMEA research consortium is to develop new tools, standards and methods for environmental measurement, monitoring and decision support, that are attractive to both the national and international markets. The program promotes new applications and services, based on environmental data, to improve the energy and material effi ciency of infrastructures and industrial processes.

The program combines the development of new measurement technologies, data quality assurance methods, modeling and forecasting tools, and information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure. These are needed to create the integrated environmental observation networks and environmental decision support systems of the future. The general concept is described in fi gure 1 below.

Figure 3. MMEA platform.

MMEA develops new applications that deliver relevant environmental information to various end-users worldwide for sustainable decision making and enable more effi cient utilisation of measurement data in environmental monitoring, energy production, industrial processes, civil infrastructure, safety and crisis management and consumer applications.

Application development is enabled by an interoperable, modular, quality controlledmeasurement & monitoring platform, the MMEA platform (Figure 3). The platformconsists of 1) the environmental information market place, EnviTori, 2) MMEA Testbed, and 3) MMEA Framework. The framework provides software, defi nitions, documentation and guidelines for implementing interoperable measurement systems, which are also the basis for MMEA Testbed and the environmental information market place. MMEA Testbed includes various data sources and processing services that can be accessed via the framework services. EnviTori provides means for data providers and users to trade environmental information.

MMEA Testbed is a platform for testing of environmental information and monitoring. MMEA Testbed resembles and extends the currently operational Helsinki Testbed, which is made up of several hundred observation stations measuring weather-related parameters. MMEA Testbed will integrate data from several environmental measurement networks into a portal to be analysed, modelled and used as raw material for new environmental services. New measurement technologies will be developed to support the versatile nature of the platform. When data and tools are easily accessible, innovations can be generated from the platform, which consists of shared environmental data with embedded quality.

Benchmarking energy effi cient indoor environments

One application of the MMEA platform is an indoor air quality pilot. The pilot provides new tools for building stakeholders for better control over indoor environment and improved energy effi ciency. The pilot gives them the possibility to benchmark their buildings and to optimise their energy use.

The service is based on the MMEA platform that enables connectivity with many diff erent data sources, data transformation, calculation and messaging services and data storage. Providers of measurement systems and services can with only one mediator connect to this open source platform and give access to their measurement data to various information service providers and end users.
