This collaboration supports the city of Bolzano in tracking the effectiveness of building interventions aimed at reducing the environmental impact, in line with the Riduzione Impatto Edilizia (RIE) framework. By offering ready-to-use datasets, Latitudo 40 enables Bolzano to enhance its climate resilience strategy without the need for custom software development, streamlining efforts to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
The primary goal of this collaboration is to provide quick, reliable, and efficient data to monitor urban heat in Bolzano. By seamlessly integrating into ENEA's geospatial analysis systems, we aim to evaluate how new building practices, such as green roofs and sustainable materials, are contributing to the reduction of urban heat islands, supporting Bolzano’s climate adaptation objectives.
Latitudo 40 provides ENEA with Land Surface Temperature (LST) data from Sentinel-2 satellites. This data helps compare the temperature variations in different city zones over time, offering insights into the effectiveness of the interventions.
Using this data, ENEA is able to track:
By integrating Sentinel-2 LST data with traditional temperature measurements, ENEA and city planners gain a comprehensive view of temperature dynamics across Bolzano.
With this data, Bolzano can prioritise further interventions and sustainable urban development that align with long-term climate adaptation goals. This use case demonstrates the practical application of satellite data in monitoring and improving the environmental performance of urban interventions, with the city of Bolzano setting an example for other urban centres.
Urban EVOLUTION addresses air pollution and urban heat using AI, remote sensing, and NBS. Piloted in Naples, Catania, and Perugia, it aims to reduce CO₂ emissions and temperatures while creating scalable urban solutions.
Doing Good, an organisation dedicated to promoting sustainable development, sought an advanced monitoring solution to assess land surface temperature (LST), land cover, and the performance of urban vegetation across two distinct regions
Dinapsis, a leading entity in Spain focused on urban infrastructure and environmental management, required comprehensive datasets to assess and improve the microclimatic performance of green infrastructures.
Statistics Canada required a solution to efficiently track construction activities across the country, identifying specific phases of development, such as land clearing, foundation laying, and structure building.
Latitudo 40 and RealSim, both members of the Urban Technology Alliance (UTA), are participating in the EU-funded IB-Green project, aimed at mitigating heat stress in industrial and business parks by integrating green and blue infrastructure.
Latitudo 40 uses Earth observation data, AI, and cloud computing to monitor land changes. It supports green area management, combines open datasets, provides standard APIs, and ensures data harmonization.
Latitudo 40 is an innovative startup in the field of Earth Observation, born from the passion, expertise, and experience of a team united by a common goal: to improve the planet through satellite technologies. We define ourselves as a lean organization, basing our success on the principles of user-centered design.
