You can’t design the weather.

By measuring gusts and turbulence at the locations the study assessed, over a period long enough to capture representative conditions. Comfort criteria are written around gust speeds, so a mean wind speed does not answer the question.

The WindMaster Pro measures all three axes at up to 32 Hz across 0 to 65 m/s.

No. A tower accelerates and deflects flow around and down its facades, which is why the microclimate study exists. Roof measurement is the reference; street level is the effect.

Because pedestrian comfort criteria are written around gusts rather than mean speeds, and the gust at street level has a vertical component. Downdraught off a facade, acceleration at a corner and vortices between towers are three-dimensional effects, and a 2-axis sensor cannot see the part of the flow that is arriving from above.

The WindMaster Pro measures the full three-dimensional vector at up to 32 Hz across 0 to 65 m/s, which is the rate the gust statistics behind Lawson or NEN 8100 style criteria need.

A compact 2-axis sensor mounted at the facade. The WindSonic 60 measures 0 to 60 m/s at 0.5 kg, which is straightforward to mount on a rail or parapet, and there is nothing in it to wear.

Clear of the parapet, plant and any adjacent taller structure, at a height where the flow is not still recovering from the roof edge. A station tucked behind a parapet reads the sheltered eddy rather than the wind.

Outside wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity and often pressure, ideally with enough resolution to know which facade is exposed. The WindMaster range is used for building and clean-room ventilation control.

Through the protocol the BMS already accepts. MetConnect outputs RS232, RS422, RS485, Modbus and SDI-12, with ASCII, Modbus RTU and ASCII, NMEA 0183 and SDI-12 v1.3 protocols. Level and position sensors also offer 4-20 mA and 0-10 V.

Because dust and noise complaints arrive with a time attached, and attributing them needs wind speed and direction recorded at the boundary. MetConnect takes two analogue inputs so the dust and noise monitors can feed the same record.

Non-contact inductive sensing. The Blade range covers linear and rotary formats with a dual output variant for redundancy, and has no wearing parts in the measurement.

Oil condition, fluid level and position feedback. WearDetect monitors lubricating oil for ferrous wear particles, which gives warning on chillers, pumps and generators before the noise or the failure does.

Yes. Alongside environmental measurement, the GS8, GS12 and GT6 ignition modules and the AF120 air and fuel ratio controller cover the gas engines in a CHP plant. All are IP67.

With a gauge on the site itself rather than a regional figure, because attenuation performance is judged against the rainfall the catchment actually received. Intensity matters as much as total depth: a design storm is defined by how fast the water arrived, not only how much.

An optical gauge such as the TruMet PW100 has no tipping mechanism to block with roof grit, moss or leaf debris, and it reports intensity continuously rather than in bucket increments. Pair it with capacitive level in the attenuation tank and the discharge record has both halves of the story.

By recording level in the tank alongside rainfall intensity through the event. Level with no moving parts is the practical choice, because a float in silty water is a maintenance visit waiting to happen.

Tipping buckets block with leaf litter, moss and green roof substrate, and under-read in light rain. The TruMet PW100 measures optically with no moving parts, 0 to 200 mm/hr at 5 percent accuracy and 0.1 mm resolution, and outputs a pulse per 0.1 mm so it replaces one directly.

As wet bulb globe temperature, which combines air temperature, humidity and radiant heat. On a street of hard surfaces the radiant component is what makes the difference. The MaxiMet GMX552 measures WBGT alongside wind, temperature, humidity and pressure.

Set by the operator and by what the measurement is used to argue. Where a reading supports a planning condition, a comfort dispute or a performance guarantee, annual traceable calibration is common.

Labcal is UKAS-accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and calibrates air velocity, temperature, humidity, pressure, and gas and liquid flow.

Six: gas and air flow, air velocity, liquid flow, pressure, temperature and humidity. Labcal is an independent UKAS-accredited laboratory, Lab 0625, and calibrates equipment from any manufacturer, not only equipment supplied by Gill.

Yes. Alongside the standard ranges, Gill engineers develop embedded and integrated solutions where an off-the-shelf product does not fit the structure or the control architecture.
