East Hampshire District Council, GB converts community hall into IOT-connected housing pods

Council officials worked with Velocity RDT on installing 10 pods as temporary accommodations for unhoused residents. Each single occupancy pod includes Wi-Fi connectivity, appliances, a kitchen, and a bedroom. Sustainable features like rooftop solar panels, green roofs, and intelligent heating reduce Pinewood Lodge's carbon footprint. IoT sensors identify maintenance issues through real-time monitoring of air quality, temperature, and sound levels.
