Energy audits
Nowadays, it is extremely important that energy consumption and losses within buildings can be specifically localized and quantified in order to develop a strategy to improve energy efficiency. Energy audits, which can be used to analyze the energy flow within buildings, are an important first step towards energy savings. This identifies opportunities to optimize performance and makes energy costs more transparent.
Energy audits are used to obtain and collect a wide range of information. This includes system performance data, energy consumption, weather data and other information relating to building functions and the building façade.
HOBO data loggers offer a range of industry-leading data loggers, sensors and software programs for collecting and analyzing key information for use in energy audits. HOBO's trend-setting tools enable energy audit professionals to capture accurate energy and performance data to characterize building energy profiles, manage peak demand, reduce energy losses and ensure the efficient operation of building systems. All of this ultimately leads to better decisions on energy saving opportunities.
Detecting hidden energy waste with data loggers -
7 ways to save costs
The key to energy performance is a reliable source of accurate data and analysis. Complex metering systems are often expensive to install, operate and maintain. Data loggers are simple, robust measurement and recording devices that can save companies significant energy costs. The first step to reducing costs is to identify energy waste. Data from monthly utility bills and appliance ratings are useful, but not enough.
Data logger and building performance handbook for energy professionals
When it comes to determining building performance these days, data measurements are an important factor and a helpful method. They take the guesswork out of energy management and help to decide which energy conservation measures are necessary. Data loggers are ideal tools for collecting, displaying and analyzing building performance data.
Incentive regulation programs: Getting more money quickly and easily
Incentive regulation programs have long been an incentive for energy-efficient upgrades in industry. For service providers, however, this decision can be downright frustrating, as it is important for them to obtain qualitative and precise data with the help of data loggers and thus get the best possible results for the respective company and its customers.
Finding hidden energy waste with data loggers: 8 ways to save energy
Data loggers are small but robust devices for taking measurements and keeping records. They help companies to save energy costs. The first step is to identify energy waste and record it. Simple, temporary devices such as HOBO data loggers can be used for this purpose. The practical guide provides information on energy consumption and environmental conditions and identifies eight forms of energy waste. It also provides an overview of how the data obtained can be compiled and analyzed.
Guide to Selecting Room Occupancy and Lighting Data Loggers - 5 Key Considerations
In a U.S. survey of building owners and managers, 70% said that energy management is important and that their primary motivation for implementing energy management programs is to save money. It is the simplest and most effective way to regulate lighting and thus save energy. It can also enhance a company's image and improve the perception of the company among employees, because nobody likes to see money and resources being wasted. Below you will find five aspects that are important when choosing the right data logger for the correct use of light sources.
Space occupancy data logger guides cost-saving decisions in historic San Francisco building
The twelve-story Flood Building, a San Francisco landmark, was built at the beginning of the 20th century. An engineering firm is now using occupancy and light sensor data loggers for a major energy retrofit of the historic building.
Pennsylvania wastewater plant uses data loggers to measure motor efficiency
In keeping with national sustainability strategies to achieve greater energy efficiency at wastewater treatment plants, a Pennsylvania facility is using motor on/off data loggers to analyze motor utilization - a first step toward reducing energy costs and meeting environmental regulations.
Using data loggers to improve the efficiency of chilled water plants
The efficiency of chilled water systems is calculated from the total energy required to produce and distribute one ton (12,000 BTU, approximately 3.5kW) of cooling. System design, water quality, maintenance routines, cooling tower design and heat exchanger loading all affect the efficiency of the chiller plant and the cost of operating the system.
