The Insight-Sensor supports temperature and humidity measurements through a single integrated circuit, consisting of a bandgap temperature sensor and a capacitive humidity sensor.
Temperature and humidity sensor
With the temperature and humidity sensor, the dew point can be calculated based on the ceiling temperature and humidity values, which are measured at the Insight-Sensor device's location in the ceiling.
Measurement of the ceiling temperature and humidity, and calculation of the dew point, is typically performed in cases of water-based ceiling cooling systems, such as systems with chilled beams. Determining the dew point can help prevent condensation and moisture problems in ceiling spaces before they cause damage.
