Data loggers
09 December 2016
Tinytag data loggers support energy efficiency applications by monitoring power usage, CO2, temperature and relative humidity locally or throughout a building. They help identify and evaluate energy saving initiatives, help validate building systems performance, and help ensure the comfort of occupants.
The range includes the Energy Logger, a portable and easy to use device for monitoring single and three phase power usage: this can be useful for monitoring energy consumption in line with ESOS, ISO 50001, and other energy management requirements. It can be used to monitor individual equipment, to help build consumption profiles, monitor electrical distribution and provide sub-metering information.
The Energy Logger uses non-invasive flexible coils to monitor the current in each phase of a three phase supply, while voltage information may be obtained via a standard 13A wall socket. The unit also records 'Power Factor' (PF) data: this can be significant because power companies typically charge a higher rate for industrial or commercial customers with a low PF.
Temperature, humidity and CO2 loggers typically help validate the performance of HVAC systems; help assess the performance of building materials (e.g. insulation); record the efficiency of equipment, e.g. boilers and refrigerators; and evaluate before and after performance of replacement lighting systems.
Recorded data is presented clearly as graphs and tables in the Tinytag Explorer Software.
