Sensor Placement That Works
Where devices go determines what the data means. The decisions that are cheap now and expensive to correct after installation.
Deploying
Deploying it
Errors found later cannot be corrected in data already collected, which makes the first month decisive.
7 notes
Calibration and the First Month
The period that determines whether your data is worth anything. What to do in it, and why skipping it is not recoverable later.
Coverage Gaps and What They Hide
Every deployment has uncovered areas. Undocumented, they turn into conclusions about space nobody measured.
Power, Network and Maintenance
The unglamorous half of a deployment, which determines whether the data still exists in year three.
Retrofit Versus New Build
Instrumenting an existing building is a different exercise from designing it in. What changes, and what to insist on at design stage.
Pilots That Tell You Something
Most pilots prove the technology works and answer nothing. What to specify so that yours settles a question.
Vendor Claims and How to Test Them
The claims that appear in every proposal, what they usually mean, and the question that tests each one.
