Appendix C: Broome field trip – Monitoring details
Instrumentation Process/ Summary
Context
The site visit to Broome (old Broome, North Broome) took place between January 19th and January 26th.
The Department of Community organized two case studies; one in North Broome (11A Nakamura Ave, Bilingurr WA 6725, Australia), and the other in old Broome (8/18 Barker St, Broome WA 6725, Australia).
The instrumentation plan is designed to be conducted for seven consecutive days. Three scenarios/ modes are set for the two case studies (Table 1):
1. All windows closed
2. All windows open
3. Air conditioning on

Description
A three-bedroom detached house
Construction material: timber stud frame external and internal walls clad with asbestos sheeting material. The roof is framed with timber rafters, battens, and ceiling joints. The roof is clad with asbestos cement corrugated roof sheeting.

11A Nakamura Ave Bilingurr WA 6725, Australia
Description
A two-bedroom detached house.
Construction material: Steel stud frame external and internal walls clad with colorbond sheeting material with insulation break 70 & R2 batts and R1.5 bulk installation for internal wall. The roof is steel framed with colorbond cladding and weatheboard with R3 batts insulation for the ceiling. 750 mm roof eaves.
The instrumentation plan was run in this case study from the 19th to the 26th of January, and it was set for three scenarios as shown in Table 3:

Measurement tools
The sensors installed in the house are:
1. HOBO Temp/RH 2.5% Data Logger (UX100-011A)
HOBO temp/RH data logger records temperature and relative humidity (within 2.5% accuracy) in indoor environments with its integrated sensors. The logger can calculate minimum, maximum, average, and standard deviation statistics. The sensor was installed in the living room and bedroom in each house.
2. HOBO MX2300 Series Data Logger
This data logger records and transmits temperature and/or relative humidity (RH) in the outdoor environment. The Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)-enabled logger is designed for wireless communication with the phone/ computer through HOBOconnect app. The logger can calculate, minimum, maximum, average, and standard deviation.
3. Infrared Thermometer- GM550E
This infrared thermometer was used for measuring the temperature of the surface’s temperature of the wall, ceiling, and floor of the living room and Bedroom of the old and new houses. This unit consists of optics, temperature sensor signal amplifier, processing circuit, and LCD Display. The optics collect the infrared energy emitted by the surface and focus it onto the sensor, then the sensor translates the energy into an electricity signal. This signal will be turned out to be digitally shown on the LCD after the signal amplifier and processing circuit.
