Environmental measurements

Indoor temperature & humidity

Measure conditions inside homes, where outdoor weather alone cannot describe personal exposure.

Used in household and heat-health research

Indoor temperature and humidity sensor shown in the Freiburg lecture, slide 30. Slide 41 names SwitchBot Meter as an example.

Measurements & outputs

Measurements and outputs

  • Indoor air temperature.
  • Relative humidity and time-aligned household exposure series.

Research workflow

Research workflow

Choose placement and logging settings appropriate to the household and research protocol.

Align indoor readings with wearable, survey and outdoor observations to study exposure differences.

Interpretation & current limits

Interpretation and limitations

  • One logger represents its measurement location and may miss differences between rooms or personal movement.
  • Sampling intervals and sensor counts in the lecture describe individual study examples, rather than a network-wide specification.
