Is there a paticular brand and model of anemometer you could recommend?

What numbers do you feel are too high, ideal, or too low when using the meter?

No experience with them personally, but this may help.

You want between 1 m/s to 3 m/s air velocity at the canopy and >1 m/s intracnopy. That’s the spec you want to meet through trial-and-error at home or require from your HVAC engineer if you’re designing/upgrading a facility.

Koselig Instruments $150 hotwire anemometer as a tremendous entry-level sensor. It gets the job done. I wouldn’t recommend anything cheaper, but there are better sensors for more money.
