This week I installed internal sensors for temperature and humidity, one in each of the rooms at the West side of the BMC building. At the moment, only one room is occupied for some days a week, but we hope to bring more people in. One other issue compromising the research plan is that one room is now reserved for equipment storage. Though it is not taking up much space, it might influence the comparability of results. However, I expect it is still fine for people to sit next to the equipment.
The installed sensors are the smart weather station and air quality monitors from Netatmo. Not only are they easy to install, there are also online video instructions available to help with installation. Each unit automatically connects to an online dashboard where all data can be anaylzed and downloaded. This equipment provides all the information we need and requires little space. The only requirement for functioning well is that they are not placed near a heating source. Now all we need internally is more people.
