The COSINE-100 experiment is designed to test the DAMA experiment which claimed an
observation of a dark matter signal from an annual modulation in their residual event rate. To
measure the 1%-level signal amplitude, it is crucial to control and monitor nearly all

Abstract
The COSINE-100 experiment is designed to test the DAMA experiment which claimed an observation of a dark matter signal from an annual modulation in their residual event rate. To measure the 1%-level signal amplitude, it is crucial to control and monitor nearly all environmental quantities that might systematically mimic the signal. The environmental monitoring also helps ensure a stable operation of the experiment. Here, we describe the design and performance of the centralized environmental monitoring system for the COSINE-100 experiment.
