NOI Hackathon Summer Edition

NOI Hackathon Summer Edition is a 24-hour event that brings together creatives and developers to conceive new ideas and projects.

 

24 hours of hacking, collaborating, co-creating, and developing for (currently secret) topics that will be revealed at the start of the Hackathon.

 

Generate new ideas alone or in a team. This one is for creative people, creators, developers, designers, data experts, entrepreneurs, tech geeks, coding lovers… of any level and with any background – just get involved!

 

And, yes, we have prizes for our winners but the aim of the event is to inspire, so if you are on the fence about a career in tech, get involved and give it a go.

    The first option is simpler, which means that we’ll expect a much-elaborated solution. The second option is more challenging and carries higher added value, which means that even experiments and not perfect solutions could be considered.

    The two options for the challenge:

    1. Starting from timeseries data made available from projects or other sources related to buildings (energy-IEQ), make (a software pipeline for) open datasets available
    2. Make a software pipeline that can generate a dataset (starting from Google Maps / Street View etc... and other datasets) in which buildings in a district/city are automatically described and classified by number of windows, presence of balconies, height, type etc...

    Optimal EV Charging Planner

    I know that in 30 minutes I’ll be in BZ. I want to charge my car at the nearest available compatible charging station to my destination. I have an appointment at the physio therapist that takes one hour. When I come back to my car, I want it to be fully charged. This means the app should not only send me to the nearest charger to my destination but should also take into consideration the charging speed (kW) of the charger and my current battery level. If my appointment takes 3h, a slower charger may be enough and more cost efficient. If the appointment takes only 15 minutes, a faster charger would be required to fully charge the car. This obviously depends on the cars battery level when I arrive at the charger. So, this should be considered. Additionally, I’d like to have the possibility to specify the percentage my car should have when I come back. If my appointment takes 15 minutes, but I’d just like to charge from 60% to 70%, a slower charger could be sufficient and cost less per kWh.

    App:
    Input:

    • App where you input your destination and how long you plan to stay in that area.
    • Additionally, I’d like to have the possibility to optionally enter the battery level that my car should have when I come back from my appointment.

    Output:

    • The charger nearest to my destination available with the right charging speed to charge my car in the time I’m at my appointment.

    The data required should be available on Open Data Hub.
