What is being bought

Published requirement description

West Dunbartonshire Council (the Council) wishes to install environmental sensors in our homes to provide the Council, and crucially also our tenants, with real time information on humidity and air quality in our properties. High levels of humidity is a risk factor for mould and can signify damp meanwhile poor air quality has consequences for health and wellbeing. These sensors will allow the Council to identify problematic properties where we need to take action for example investigating damp or providing tenant with advice.
