Proactive Environmental Monitoring for Social Housing

Verity by Tricity Labs is developing a continuous, IoT-driven environmental monitoring system designed to eradicate damp and mould, ensure regulatory compliance, and improve resident quality of life.

Currently in advanced development, targeting our inaugural live pilot deployment in Q1 2027.

The Challenge: Reactive vs. Proactive

Across Scotland and Ireland, social housing providers face mounting pressure from tightening regulatory standards (such as the Scottish Housing Quality Standard and the Repairing Standard), rising reactive maintenance costs, and the urgent need to protect resident health from damp and mould.

Annual or bi-annual inspections are no longer sufficient. Housing providers need continuous, defensible data to identify risks before they impact residents, transforming property management from reactive firefighting to proactive care.

The Verity Solution Architecture

Tricity Labs is building a purpose-built IoT ecosystem designed specifically for the unique constraints of social housing: no reliance on tenant Wi-Fi, 5-year battery life, and strict GDPR compliance.

📡 PIR323 Environmental Sensors + SEG-X6 4G Gateway

Continuously monitors temperature, humidity, and occupancy. Transmits securely to the cloud via independent 4G LTE, ensuring 100% uptime regardless of tenant broadband status.

💻 Verity Compliance Dashboard (In Development)

A centralized platform providing housing managers with real-time portfolio visibility, automated welfare alerts, and one-click regulatory reporting. (Live data integration and UI refinement underway for 2027 deployment).

The Path to Q1 2027: Co-Design & Pilot Partnership

We are leveraging the CIVTECH 12 program to refine our technology alongside forward-thinking housing providers. We are seeking early-stage collaborators to help shape the final product ahead of our 2027 live rollout.

  • Co-Design Phase (Q4 2026): Work with our team to ensure the dashboard and alerting systems meet the exact workflow needs of your maintenance and compliance teams.
  • Subsidized 2027 Pilot: Priority access to our inaugural live deployment, featuring heavily subsidized hardware for a targeted cohort of properties.
  • Regulatory Alignment: Jointly develop reporting templates tailored to the Scottish Housing Regulator and SEAI/AHBRA requirements.
