Choosing the right location is the foundation of accurate environmental data. In collaboration with the Nairobi County Government and AQSEA, we identified primary schools as strategic hubs for air quality monitoring to protect vulnerable populations.

To establish a reliable county-wide network, Muran Systems undertook a comprehensive survey of over 60 primary schools across Nairobi. The primary goal was to ensure the environmental suitability and long-term effectiveness of the monitoring project.
Key Activities Included:
Collaborative Scouting: Working in close coordination with the Nairobi County Government to align with municipal health goals.
Strategic Mapping: Identifying 45 optimal locations from a pool of 60+ candidates to ensure a representative data map of the county.
Vulnerability Focus: Prioritizing schools to capture data where children—a high-risk demographic—spend the majority of their time.
Technical Assessment: Evaluating each site for security, structural integrity for mounting, and unobstructed airflow for sensor accuracy.
“The site survey was a critical first step. By collaborating closely with the Nairobi County government, we ensured that every sensor was placed where it could provide the most impactful data for the community's health.”
