Council Member Banks inquires about the specific placement of temperature sensors in NYCHA apartments. Siobhan Watson explains the distribution strategy for these sensors throughout the buildings.
- Sensors are placed in about 30% of apartments, not every unit
- They are distributed to give a view of each apartment line at different heights
- Typical placement includes high, medium, and low floors within an apartment line

So the the sensors are in, different parts of the building?
0:49:24
Are they in every apartment, or are they strategically placed throughout the development?
Siobhan Watson

They're not in every apartment.

They're placed in about 30% of apartments.
Chris Banks

Okay.

In order to give a view of each line of apartments and how the temperature is being maintained from in the different floors.

Are they higher up?

Are they place or lower levels?

Generally, they're distributed where they're sort of high, medium, and low within the apartment line.

So we'll have you know, if there's 10 floors, there may be 1 on 10, 5, and, 1st floor, something like that.

It depends on the the exact building, but it'll be a distribution of apartments to give our operations team a view of of the line as a whole.
