Building of CLT monitored with sensors to ensure quality
The project, a 1.200 m3 children’s institution, focuses on sustainability and indoor climate, and is one of the first construction projects to work on achieving the DGNB Heart-certification - a certification with a particular focus on a healthy indoor climate for the building’s future users.

The municipality of Roskilde bought the Woodsense solution to increase the focus on Quality Assurance, but also to increase their knowledge of how the hidden constructions perform in different situations.

The data in the platform is enriched with data about local weather, so the involved always can see how the building performed during certain extreme weather or during a specific season.
