*'''Rooftop temperature Sensors:''' Measures the temperatures above the building and on the inside of the roof assembly (below the concrete roof slab). These sensors compare the heat gradient across the roof assembly where the SBR is located and where a conventional roof system remains. By doing so, the cooling benefit and energy savings of the SBR can be calculated.

The data collected from these sensors is used to optimize rainwater use and quantify the SBR’s performance. An example of this optimization is the decision to prioritize treatment and distribution or the evaporative cooling benefits of the SBR. This decision is based on the atmospheric temperature outside of Building A. These are the details of the two (2) temperature scenarios:
