An urban agriculture greenhouse connected to classroom 3.07 and an office at ESEIAAT absorbs CO₂ from these spaces and, through photosynthesis, transforms it into oxygen. This clean air is then recirculated back into the classroom, provided conditions are suitable. This is how the Air Quality & Green Infrastructure Living Lab (Airgilab) works—the first living lab that regenerates building air using agricultural crops. It has been developed by the Construction Research and Innovation Group (GRIC) at UPC.

From May 21 to 23, the UPC, through CIT UPC, participated in the latest edition of the IoT Solutions World Congress.
