Abstract

Radon is a noble, natural, and radioactive gas coming mainly from the ground which might accumulate indoors and lead each year to 200-300 deaths from lung cancer in Switzerland. A brand new and innovative living lab will be built as of 2023 in Fribourg (Switzerland) which will allow to tackle the built environment and the relationship with its occupants. Among a large panel of environmental parameters, radon gas will be continuously monitored under and around the building as well as in the building envelope. This paper aims to present the overall process of the radon dataflow: 1) design of the sensor probes, 2) implementation of the radon sensor probes in the ground and 3) go-live with the data sharing platform with the building users. Such an infrastructure will bring the opportunity to researchers to lead new and innovative radon-related research.
