Do you want to have a unique research experience and know about your carbon footprint in the process? Join us now at NTU Carbon Footprint Research project by signing up as our research volunteers!
We will be using the Singapore National Science Experiment (NSE) innovative device – SENSg to collect raw data (acceleration, atmospheric pressure, temperature, etc), which can be interpreted to study environment-related behavior, such as transport mode, usage of staircase or lift, and air-conditioner usage time. The results will enable them to study carbon footprint related to these activities.
The research period is from 24 Oct – 28 Oct 2016.
By participating, you will have access to NSE web portal for even more exciting activities, such as checking your personal data collected, compare it with the national average, and unlock addictive game on the NSE web portal. You will also receive a gift from us when you return the device to us at the end of research period. Moreover, all research volunteers who fulfilled their commitment will stand a chance to win lucky draw prizes, which includes a foldable bicycle, foldable scooter, fan and thumbdrives!
