Project description
▪ Name: Kiwu “Lake Kivu is a fresh water lake and, along with Cameroonian Lake Nyos and Lake
Monoun, is one of three that are known to undergo limnic eruptions. Around the
lake, geologists found evidence of massive local extinctions about every thousand years,
presumably caused by outgassing events” (Wikipedia)

▪ Target market: US residential and industrial HVAC

▪ Refrigerant leakage detection
▪ New market for Sensirion

▪ Volume: ~1M/yr (potential up to 2M/yr)

▪ Price sensitive market

Project characteristic
▪ Many different customer
▪ Many requirements → one design

▪ Customer needs unclear

▪ during discussion with customer requirements may change

▪ Low experience level on Sensirion side for box build with cable

▪ Very, very, very short timeline

▪ This requires very close collaboration
▪ Strong commitment is crucial

20
Collaboration
▪ Dedicated project team

▪ Weekly project update meetings

▪ Frequent on permanent on-site engineer from Sensirion

▪ Guarantee short feedback loop
▪ Enhance understanding of requirements and capabilities
