  • Practical examples
  • From analysis to advice
  • Purpose-driven
01

Wind measurement near buildings

Question

An existing wind sensor showed direction-dependent deviations.

Approach

360° obstacle inventory, D/H calculation and comparison with prevailing wind sectors.

Outcome

Clear and disturbed sectors were defined so relocation and sector-specific data use could be considered.

02

Moisture and condensation assessment

Question

Several rooms experienced periodic moisture issues.

Approach

Long-term temperature/RH logging, dew point, surface temperature and indoor-outdoor comparison.

Outcome

Risk periods were linked to use and ventilation, after which targeted measures could be monitored.

03

Solar shading using local wind

Question

External screens retracted too often or remained active in unsuitable conditions.

Approach

Assessment of wind-sensor location, façade orientation, solar load, thresholds and delay.

Outcome

An explainable control strategy with more representative input and safe fail-safe logic.

04

New meteorological observing site

Question

Three candidate sites had to be compared.

Approach

GIS pre-assessment, site survey and parameter-specific risk score.

Outcome

A preferred location with concrete installation conditions and future protection zones.

05

Offshore sensor installation

Question

Structures and exhausts affected possible sensor positions.

Approach

Sector analysis, maintenance access, corrosion risk and operational purposes.

Outcome

A substantiated position with transparent limitations and maintenance points.

06

Urban climate network

Question

Sensors had to reveal heat differences between neighbourhoods.

Approach

Surface, buildings, shade, ventilation and metadata were assessed by site.

Outcome

A network design that measures local variation without making invalid one-to-one comparisons.
