Monitoring and Thermal calculations

Thermocouples
We placed thermocouples in the edge of the basement slab, 1m and 3m below the edge, 1m below the centre, and 1m outside the bottom of the basement walls and 0.5m down, 1m below g/l and 2m out and 2m below g/l and 2m out. More will be placed as we go, suggestions welcome.
