These works at NUI Galway proved challenging for a number of reasons, including the height of the four-storey buildings, working in a densely populated area and processing SEAI grants across departments at NUIG. Combined with these factors was the difficulty that there was not much viable space on the roof of the Human Biology Building.
This meant putting the dexterity of the Van Der Valk mounting system to the test and it came up trumps again, fitting brilliantly into the spaces available. This system is tied in with the building management system using a volt free contact on the Fronius inverter for such information gathering.
