Can a laboratory monitor itself? SmartLab started in 2018 with this question. The team built a physical model of our laboratory and turned it into a small smart building.
What it does
Using Arduino Uno and Arduino Mega boards, the model measures:
- temperature and humidity,
- carbon dioxide (CO₂), carbon monoxide (CO) and methane,
- light levels,
- noise, with a decibel meter.
It also includes an access and security management system and a smart lighting system.

From SmartLab to Smart Campus
SmartLab was one of our Branch’s milestone projects. The ideas it tested — sensors in every room, automatic detection of problems, energy-aware lighting — grew into Smart Campus, our current IoT network for the university’s classrooms.
The team
- Thanos Mourtzoukos
- Pericles Siaravas
- George Stivaktakis
Mentored by Christos Hitiris, then a graduate student.
