FiWare

Breeze

Breeze makes sense of our environment. Leveraging smart sensor networks and intelligent environmental data analytics, we provide our partners with actionable insights. Those are strategies to create cleaner air, to make our cities, buildings and communities more livable and to produce a healthier environment.

Goals and challenges

Breeze’s goal is to intelligently use environmental data to make our cities, buildings and communities more livable for us and following generations.

The choice of FIWARE

The Breeze analytics suite for smart cities is build upon several FIWARE components. Some of them are used in the development and testing, some of them in the live environment. 

Cloud APIs are realized with the de-facto standard NGSI using Orion. The openData platform CKAN is used to publish and consume environmental data for the public. And the CitySDK data models define how we interact with the data generated by the city’s cyberphysical systems.

Benefits and accomplishments
