    Weekly Update

    Progress Report:

    This week Dr. Bill deployed nomad 5 to the tennis center, to detect the internal and external light levels. There are a couple of things we are looking at improving, let me share the information I reported on April 6, 2015:
    Current Info:
    ~ Light: costs $12 per hour (and is on generally 15 hours a day)
    ~ USTA standards: requirements are not met
    ~ Roof: status=dirty

    Possible improvements:
    ~ Roof: needs an internal and external pressure wash to allow optimal outside light inside/ optimal internal light to reflect off the walls.
    ~ Light: Switch to LED lights which use 60% less energy

    We found that, with no external sunlight shining in, the internal light uses 8kw of energy.

    Up in Coming:

    I will be recording the light levels coming form the tennis center. I will then compile this data to make an evaluation of the lighting situation as a whole.
