Weather & Data Insights
Leverage Weather Insights and Data
With today’s available technology, there are now vast possibilities to improve energy efficiency and decrease energy costs by leveraging weather insights.
Using hyperlocal weather measurements from weather stations and sensing networks allows you to obtain valuable, highly accurate data for energy networks and building automation. This data can then be used to create hyperlocal weather forecasts and optimize energy consumption based on the forecast.
Smart cities encounter many weather and environmental challenges. Vaisala weather stations and their insights can help cities navigate these challenges and become more efficient by preparing cities and businesses for weather events, optimizing traffic, performing proper street maintenance, dialing in heating networks and more. Even the smallest changes in temperature, solar radiation, precipitation, humidity, and wind speed and direction can affect energy demand. Hyperlocal weather information offers an excellent opportunity to optimize the heating network.
What makes a city smart?
At its heart, having a smart city means increasing efficiency, productivity and improving citizens' wellbeing by using technology.
To make it work, a smart city plan includes innovation, participation, collaboration & coordination between all stakeholders, especially residents.
Smart technology includes digital solutions that integrate sensors, data and IT systems to solve real challenges and create sustainable cities that improve quality of life.
