Environmental Measurement for Elephant Ready to Go

Environmental measurements for the regeneration of Elephant & Castle are ready to roll. Initially a weather proof CEL 593 Sound Level Meter will be on the roof to measure background noise, whilst simultaneously a twin 593 will measure the levels inside a flat immediately beneath the meter. In addition, a Nor121 will measurement the weather conditions at roof top level. A Masters student, Linda, is taking the noise measurements, whilst another Sustainable Masters Student, Chris, monitors the wind conditions.

The second stage will start in June when the first of two wind turbines will be installed.
