HVAC Performance Monitor Kit v6
Build a Wind Chill Monitor: Arduino HVAC Performance Kit for Beginners
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Understanding how heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems affect comfort is a fascinating hands-on science lesson. This kit lets young makers build a wind chill monitor that combines a temperature sensor, a rotary encoder to simulate wind speed, and a crisp OLED display to show the calculated wind chill value — just like real environmental monitoring stations used in weather studies and smart buildings.
What You'll Build
A portable, Arduino-powered monitor that reads air temperature and humidity from a DHT22 sensor, takes wind speed input from a rotary encoder (simulating an anemometer), computes the wind chill factor, and displays it on a 0.96-inch OLED screen. The device runs on a 9V battery, making it perfect for classroom demonstrations or science fair exhibits.
What You'll Learn
- How to wire and read data from a DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor
- How to interface a rotary encoder to capture simulated wind speed
- Programming Arduino to compute the wind chill formula and display results on an OLED
- Understanding the science behind wind chill and its impact on HVAC efficiency

Who This Kit Is For
Perfect for CBSE Class 6–10 students exploring environmental science projects, beginners at ATL Tinkering Labs, and young makers preparing for school exhibitions. Whether you're an educator introducing IoT concepts or a parent nurturing a child's curiosity, this kit provides structured learning with minimal frustration.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to access our AI build companion, which walks you through each step with circuit diagrams and code explanations. You can also reach our team via WhatsApp for quick guidance.
Does the rotary encoder measure actual wind speed?
The rotary encoder simulates wind speed by turning a knob, making it safe and easy to experiment indoors. You can later replace it with a real anemometer sensor by following our extension guide.
What is wind chill, and how does the kit calculate it?
Wind chill is the perceived decrease in air temperature caused by wind. The kit uses the standard wind chill formula that combines temperature and wind speed from the encoder, displaying the result on the OLED in real-time as you turn the knob.
Do I need programming experience to complete this project?
No prior coding knowledge is required. The AI companion provides pre-written, commented Arduino code that you can upload directly, and we explain every line so you learn as you build.
HVAC — Rotary encoder inputs wind speed. DHT22 measures air temperature. OLED shows wind chill value.
