Greentech Lead America: Onset, a supplier of data loggers
and weather stations, has launched HOBO Green Roof Monitoring System, a research-grade
system for measuring the performance of green roofs.
The 15-channel system not only provides reliable
performance in harsh rooftop conditions, it enables users to quickly and easily
monitor green roof conditions, measure stormwater runoff, improve irrigation
scheduling, and maintain healthy rooftop vegetation.
The roof monitoring system provides 24/7 web-based access
to data and provides all common green roof measurements such as temperature,
relative humidity, wind, soil moisture, light intensity, and rainfall.
It features plug-and-play sensors that enable fast easy
deployment, customizable data display for kiosks, and trend logging,
monitoring, and alarm notifications.
The HOBO Green Roof Monitoring System includes a HOBO U30
GSM-cellular data logger with one-year service plan, Smart Sensors for
measuring rainfall, soil moisture, soil temperature, solar radiation, air
temperature/relative humidity, wind speed and direction, as well as mounting
brackets and a 6-Watt solar panel.
Optional mounting masts, tripods, graphing & analysis
software, and additional sensors are also available.
The system is available from Onset immediately.
