The participants in the ‘3SqAir’ project met on November 8 and 9 in Coimbra to present the progress made in recent months. After the pandemic, the attendees held their first face-to-face meeting at the University of Coimbra and exchanged knowledge and experiences. The meetings took place at the Department of Mechanical Engineering (DEM) of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the University of Coimbra (FCTUC).

During the morning of the first day, there was an exhibition of the pilot projects that are being monitored with the device developed (cube) in the project and the first results obtained.
In the first place, previous measurements were carried out in order, on the one hand, to be able to calibrate them previously and, on the other, so that all the installed devices yielded the same data. In this sense, some of the participants had to change the location of the devices during the first measurements, since the data obtained reflected disparate data.
The parameters being analyzed are: temperature, humidity, CO2, TVOC (volatile organic compounds), formaldehyde and PPM.
In the afternoon there was a presentation where the main objective of the project, members of the consortium, the coffee science and progress of the pilots were transferred. After that, attendees were able to enjoy two keynote presentations on the UNESCO Sustainability Declaration and, secondly, on the context of mechanical ventilation and air quality in Spain.
The following day, an internal work session of the consortium was held, where ZUBIGUNE presented the status of the work packages, the degree of progress of each of them and the key milestones of the last six months of the project. After that, the participants worked on the multi-criteria analysis of the radar developed in work package three of the project, to compare the parameters and validate them under a common measurement criterion. This radar incorporate validation parameters for the twelve pilot projects included in the 3SqAir.
