  The purpose of this project is to investigate the suitability of using
LoRaWAN technology to conduct temperature studies on local government assets in
Australian metropolitan and residential areas. Temperature sensing devices were
integrated into the existing LoRaWAN infrastructure at Curtin University with
data collected and stored on a remote server. Case studies were performed for
the City of Melville to address the suitability for such a system to provide
insights into heat islands and urban forests. Testing was completed on the
Curtin University campus, replicating the climate conditions, asset types and,
dense building and tree environment found in the City of Melville.
