Green Roof Monitoring
Green roofs can reduce stormwater runoff, act as natural building insulation, and offer a more aesthetically pleasing environment. NexSens real-time monitoring systems can help assess the benefits of these green roofs.
Complete System
Green roof monitoring systems include all required sensors, data loggers, communication equipment, and software. The data logger and sensors are mounted on the roof in plant beds and in the drainage system. Data is transmitted wirelessly to a computer located inside the building.
Mast-Mount System
Mast configurations can accommodate weather sensors and data logging equipment, simplifying mounting and installation.
Data Collection
Analog and digital inputs on NexSens data loggers accommodate multi-parameter sensors or various combinations of individual sensors. Data is sampled and logged with a time and date stamp.
Wireless Communication
Radio, cellular, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi telemetry options deliver real-time data from the rooftop to your computer or mobile device.
Multi-Parameter Weather Sensor
The Vaisala WXT520 simultaneously measures wind speed and direction, liquid precipitation, barometric pressure, relative humidity, and air temperature in a single, compact instrument with just one interface cable to the data logger.
Soil Sensor
The Stevens Hydra Probe soil sensor simultaneously measures soil moisture, salinity, and temperature using a unique three-prong design. The sensor is inserted horizontally into the soil and does not require maintenance.
Surface Temperature Sensor
Surface temperature sensors monitor roof temperature. The electronics are completely encapsulated in marine-grade epoxy for outdoor use.
Carbon Dioxide Sensor
The Vaisala GMP343 is an accurate and rugged carbon dioxide sensor for growth chamber studies. An internal diffusion filter protects it from dust and dirt, while heated optics prevents the formation of condensation.
Software and Data Management
Using iChart Live software and the optional WQData Live Web datacenter, researchers can quickly access real-time green roof data for further analysis.
Startup Support
Application engineers are available for training and technical support, both by phone and in person. Our extensive field experience helps ensure seamless implementation of the monitoring project.
