Having the EYE ON THE ICE system installed in the venue made it possible for the ice technicians and building systems team to manage the environmental conditions much more actively and accurately than we would have been able to with the base building atmospheric and refrigerated slab sensors alone. In particular, it was very valuable to have the ability to monitor the ice temperature so close to the ice surface when the impact of the air temperature and humidity varied so quickly with the movement of 5,000 spectators in and out three times a day.
Having the EYE ON THE ICE made it possible to deliver a Field of Play that allowed the curling athletes every opportunity to have their best performance.
