Successful installation of Build4People automatic weather station at the compound of Borey Peng Huoth, Chbar Ambov District, Phnom Penh

On 07 June 2022, the Build4People Work Package #5 team “Urban Climate” from Royal University of Phnom Penh, Bunleng Se and colleagues successfully installed an automatic weather station at the compound of Borey Peng Huoth, Chbar Ambov District, Phnom Penh.

This weather station will contribute to develop an urban climate map for Phnom Penh which will be hopefully the basis for detailed urban planning guidelines, e.g. to pay better regard to urban ventilation corridors to avoid urban heat islands.

Finally, it has to be highlighted that the installation of the weather station at this borey at Chbar Ambox district is the first concrete step of joint cooperation between the Build4People project and the Borey Peng Huoth developer company which Build4People regards as a key stakeholder of promoting more sustainable urban development in Phnom Penh.
