MSP – Multi Sensor Platform
for Smart Building Management
The FP7 project MSP - Multi
Sensor Platform for Smart Building
Management has the objective of
strengthening the leadership of
European industries in the highly
competitive area of smart sensing
systems in building management and
mobile applications. The MSP project
is focused on the development of
essential devices and sensors that are
required for miniaturized smart systems
suitable for indoor and outdoor
environmental monitoring:
• Nanotechnology based gas sensors consumption and CO2 emissions can be University of Freiburg from Germany
