Breathe London
The Breathe London air-quality monitoring network started as a GLA funded project installing 136 air quality sensors around London in 2021. The project has since grown, providing affordable, easy-to-install and maintain air quality sensors to schools, residents, in fact anyone.
There are currently 439 live nodes, increasing the network by 223%. The data collected allows clients to monitor air quality levels against targets locally - and use to inform policy and mitigation.
Imperial Projects support includes:
- Contractual management and negotiations with GLA, external supplier and over 140 third-party fixed price agreements and work orders
- Financial management including costing, invoicing and payments
- Administration and problem solving
