Aging Wastewater and Stormwater Infrastructure in the United States: The Need for Investment and Regulatory Compliance

As the population in the United States continues to grow, the demand for clean water is increasing. However, the infrastructure responsible for treating and distributing wastewater and stormwater is aging and struggling to keep up with the demand. The issue is further compounded by the fact that the regulatory compliance requirements for these systems are […]

Building Automation Systems (BAS) are becoming increasingly popular in commercial buildings to optimize energy use and envelope performance. Weather data plays a crucial role in BAS, as it allows for automated control systems to make real-time decisions based on weather conditions. However, the question remains: should weather data be gathered in situ or remotely? In […]

As technology evolves, so too does the integration of automated system controls across numerous sectors, particularly evident within municipal wastewater and stormwater infrastructure. At the heart of this automation lies the pivotal role of weather sensors and the innovation of automated weather stations. These systems provide a critical function in ensuring regulatory compliance and effective […]

Frequently Asked Questions: Q: What is a wind alarm controller for fountains? A: A wind alarm controller, or sometimes called a wind speed alarm, is a device that monitors wind speed and adjusts the water flow rate of a fountain accordingly. It helps to conserve water, protect equipment, and promote energy efficiency. It can also […]

As an engineer, system operator, or technician responsible for the safety and protection of membrane structures, such as warehouses, storage facilities, it’s crucial to have an effective wind alarm system in place. Using a wind speed measuring instrument helps monitor the wind speed and provide an automatic control to protect the occupants and/or perishable commodities, […]

In situ weather data refers to weather data collected on-site using sensors located on the building or property, while remote weather data refers to weather data collected from a remote location, or online weather service. Pros of in situ weather data: More accurate data: In situ weather sensors can provide more accurate and precise data […]

What’s the best way to forecast changes in weather conditions? How can you measure how fast the wind is blowing? Buy a handheld anemometer to measure wind speed, velocity, and wind pressure in a given area. Let’s take a closer look at how this instrument works. The Working Principles of an Anemometer The anemometer works […]

It’s important to detect and measure air pressure in commercial buildings. Air pressure can affect infrastructure and the people living within it. A barometric pressure gauge can be helpful for business owners who want to ensure optimal air pressure. This instrument features a sensor-based system capable of detecting anomalies in the air. Here’s why you […]

The anemometer is a wind measuring device that has been around for centuries. The first anemometers were not very accurate, but as technology improved scientists learned what worked best. Today, the most common designs follow two types: the anemometer as a wind vane and anemometer with wind cups. How an Anemometer Works An anemometer measures […]

Automated weather stations are different from typical weather stations in that many of their instruments require little human involvement. They are usually digital and send data online and can be part of a bigger network of weather stations. Because of its accessibility, it is one of the most common types of weather stations. Many meteorology […]
