Project summary
The project will pilot the use of a range of sensors to capture, analyse and visualise environmental data including temperature, humidity, air quality, noise, and stormwater. The data will provide useful information to monitor local environmental conditions.
A range of sensors have been deployed, with data being collected from these devices.
The challenge
The challenge is to better understand and respond to local environment changes as the site develops.
Solution
The use of environmental sensors, coupled with the real time data that is collected, will provide information for improved site monitoring and management.
Benefits
The benefits will be improved site monitoring and management, as well as understanding how environmental conditions can vary on a micro-climate level.
