Notes

Unclear when HOBO monitor installed in 2006 was removed, but as of 2022, there was no environmental monitoring. HOBO monitor installed in summer of 2023. Readings are collected monthly, with the goal of getting a one year baseline of the room through all 4 seasons. New air handler installed in Breakfast Room in April 2024. Monitors also placed in Dining Room and in kitchen directly next to Breakfast Room.

Notes

2006: Atmospheric conditions are currently being monitored with three HOBO readers placed in the eastern corner, southwest corner, and on the table in the Buffalo Room. Readings are recorded every Monday of the temperature, light, and humidity, and the data will eventually be sent to Peebles Island to be compared with outdoor conditions being monitored with another HOBO placed outside the valet's apartment on the third floor.
