SIMP@CT: Urban Cooling Research
Best Use of Technology Award
NSW/ACT
Submission Overview
Using an innovative approach to urban cooling based on smart technology, SIMPaCT leverages IoT technology, sensors, and data analytics to enhance the efficiency of irrigation systems and optimise water usage. This enables irrigation management based on Machine Learning, digital twinning and scenario modelling. This improves human thermal comfort and a thriving green infrastructure protected from draught impacts. SIMPaCT supercharges maintenance of parks and public spaces. It represents a unique approach that transforms public parks and other green spaces into effective urban cooling assets.
