The compact data loggers are easy to mount to lighting fixtures, ceilings and walls, and can be set up and installed in less than a minute. <p>"While room occupancy sensors can help achieve significant energy reductions in buildings, the lack of data detailing when lights are left on in unoccupied rooms can often make it difficult to determine where occupancy sensors are needed,” said Jessica Frackleton, manager of product marketing for Onset. “The HOBO UX90 Logger takes the guesswork out of the process, making it easier than ever to track occupancy and light use patterns around the clock, and in turn, build a stronger business case for occupancy sensor projects."</p> <p>Once data has been recorded with the HOBO UX90 Occupancy & Light Logger, it can be easily viewed in graph form using accompanying HOBOware® software, and printed out for use in reports. The data can also be easily exported to Microsoft Excel for more detailed analysis.</p> <p><strong>Next-Generation Time-of-Use Loggers for Fast, Reliable Deployment</strong><br /> The HOBO UX90 Occupancy & Light Logger is part of Onset’s new HOBO UX90 Series, the industry’s lowest-cost, most comprehensive family of “time-of-use” data loggers. In addition to the Occupancy & Light Logger, the new toolbox suite includes data loggers for measuring motor on/off status, electronic pulses, state changes, and light use patterns.</p> <p>Leveraging patent-pending technology, HOBO UX90 data loggers streamline energy audits, and make deployment faster and more reliable than ever. For example, the loggers offer a large LCD display that visually confirms logger operation; signal strength indication that ensures proper logger placement; large memory capacity that enables longer deployments with fewer site visits; and a USB 2.0 PC interface for full-speed data offloads. The loggers also feature start and stop pushbuttons, and rare earth magnet, strap, and command-strip mounting options to help ensure the loggers stay put during deployment.</p> <p>Accompanying HOBOware software also reduces deployment time. New time-saving features allow HOBO UX90 users to batch-configure and readout hundreds of loggers in a fraction of the time it would take with previous generations. Additionally, the software features a Bulk Export feature that allows users to export data files to text format for use in spreadsheets and other programs.</p> <p><strong>Pricing and Availability</strong><br /> HOBO UX90 Series data loggers are available immediately from Onset. Prices range from $85 - $224.

Meanwhile, its state Digital Archives facility—the first to be created in the United States—today includes more than 28 million searchable documents, photos and other records online.</p> <p><strong>Monitoring for Hot Spots</strong><br /> For the last seven years, the state’s archives have been stored in a two-floor building co-located on the Eastern Washington State University campus. The facility has systems in place to manage the indoor air quality and power. Recently, Washington State Archives has added <a href="http://www.onsetcomp.com/indoor-wireless-hobo-data-nodes">Onset HOBO® ZW Series wireless data nodes</a> for energy and environmental monitoring to help ensure the optimal performance of those systems.</p> <p>"Temperature and relative humidity monitoring is critical to the preservation of our records," explains Harold Stoehr, network administrator for Washington State Archives. "For example, down in the paper archives, we have a freezer for storing the old negatives. They could be explosive if they get too warm, so the freezer needs to be monitored around the clock."</p> <p>Stoehr notes that temperature monitoring also is important for the data center on the second floor, since the loss of cooling could cause the data systems to crash, or worse, to create a fire. Early detection and notification help provide critical information that staff needs to take corrective action well before a potential fire would set off regular fire alarms.</p> <p>"In general, we had blending of hot and cold with hot spots in some of the aisles," Stoehr says. "We wanted to track temperature and humidity fluctuations there to gain a better sense for how the HVAC systems were performing."</p> <p><strong><a href="/sites/all/themes/onset/onset-images/application_stories/washington-state/Washington-State-Archives---data-node-on-wall.jpg" rel="lightbox"></a>Wireless Monitoring Facilitates Data Collection</strong><br /> Initially, Washington State Archives looked at traditional standalone data loggers for its environmental monitoring. However, when Stoehr researched the Onset website, he determined that wireless data nodes offered significant benefits.</p> <p>"Traditional data loggers would have provided the data we needed, but we didn’t want to spend a lot of time manually retrieving the data throughout the building," Stoehr recalls. "We figured wireless could really help us a lot, and I was really impressed that we could go with the wireless technology for just a little more money."</p> <p>The Washington State Archives facility has nine data nodes on the first floor where the paper records are kept. Eight nodes are used for recording the temperature and relative humidity while a ninth has an external temperature sensor for the freezer. Upstairs, where the data center is housed, there are six data nodes for recording the temperature and relative humidity that include three external voltage sensors and four air velocity sensors.</p> <p>Information from the data nodes is automatically sent to a receiver, which then stores it on a desktop computer. Accompanying HOBOware® Pro software runs on the computer and provides Stoehr and his team with real-time graphs for each measurement point, as well as alarm notifications.</p> <p>"The Web service built into the software is really helpful in accessing information," notes Justin Bouscal, network support specialist for the State Archives building in Cheney. "We went ahead and set up an auto log-in account, so that the computer can automatically apply regular critical OS system patches and users can always access the Web server. This lets others in the building look at the data, which is especially useful when someone receives an e-mail ‘alert’ and clicks on the provided URL link."</p> <p><strong>Alarm Notifications Help Mitigate Risk</strong><br /> Stoehr and his team review the trend logs on <a href="http://www.onsetcomp.com/products/software">HOBOware Pro data logging software</a> to see if they need to make any building system adjustments in terms of temperature settings, humidity and ventilation. They also take advantage of alerts to be notified of potential problems.</p> <p>For instance, Stoehr says, "We are monitoring the commercial and both of our uninterruptible power supplies, so we can be alerted instantly via cell phone if there are issues. We’re also using airflow sensors connected to the data nodes on the cooling fans, which send us an alert to let us know when they run and log that they came on."</p> <p>Stoehr says that the HOBOnode Manager, a component of HOBOware, has been very useful. "We scanned a blueprint of our building and imported it into HOBOnode Manager," he explains. "Now we can easily see where the nodes are located. It’s really neat."</p> <p><strong>Wireless Data Nodes Reveal New Insights</strong><br /> Since setting up the data nodes, Stoehr and his team have gained important insights into the cooling systems aimed at protecting both the paper and digital records.</p> <p>"We discovered that every eight hours the freezer where our glass negatives are stored rises from 20 to 40 degrees," Stoehr says. "Apparently the defrost cycle has been working, and this may mean that we end up disabling the auto-defrost cycle and defrost the freezer manually."</p> <p>Stoehr adds, "The data helped us realize that we can turn up the set point on the cool aisle in the data center and raise the temperature five degrees warmer, which will let us reduce our energy use. This is wonderful information; we’re really excited about it."</p> <p>Other information provided by the data nodes has revealed several fluctuations in temperature and relative humidity throughout the facility. Using the trending and reporting information, the team knows when to call HVAC professionals to come work on the equipment.</p> <p>"We’re also getting a great view of the power coming into our building and a good read on our commercial, emergency generator, and uninterruptible power supplies, which helps us ensure they are providing good, consistent power," Stoehr says. "It’s one more example of how the wireless data nodes are helping us make sure that our archives are getting the best protection possible."</p> </div> </div> </div> <table id="attachments" class="sticky-enabled"> <thead><tr><th>Attachment</th><th>Size</th> </tr></thead> <tbody> <tr class="odd"><td><a href="http://www.onsetcomp.com/files/Washington-State-Archives---building-exterior-tiny.jpg">Washington-State-Archives---building-exterior-tiny.jpg</a></td><td>3.68 KB</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-meta-information"> <div class="field-label">meta_information: </div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <meta name="description" content="The Washington State Archives facility has chosen to protect its historical data with HOBO ZW wireless monitoring data nodes.

Statistics on utility bills or name plates on equipment, while useful, are not enough to identify the practices and equipment that are contributing to high energy use. <p>Portable data loggers can be used to obtain critical energy use information in a wide range of commercial building types – from manufacturing plants to office buildings. The data collected can support proposed changes, whether it involves purchasing new energy-saving equipment or changing operating schedules. <p>A new 12-page best practices guide from Onset entitled, Finding Hidden Energy Waste with Data Loggers, describes how data loggers can be used to obtain information on energy consumption and environmental conditions in industrial and commercial buildings.

Now, a study conducted by environmental and energy research firm Cadmus Group reveals insights into how these manufacturers – and consumers at home – can minimize energy waste in laundering. <p>During the study, Cadmus engineers tracked the energy consumption of 115 household laundry systems in southern California and the San Francisco Bay Area. The team deployed Onset HOBO® <a href="http://www.onsetcomp.com/products/data-loggers/u30-data-logging-systems">energy monitoring systems</a> to collect data at each site, measuring volumetric flow through the hot water hose serving the clothes washer, the temperature of the hot water entering the clothes washer, and the electricity consumed by the washer and electric dryer. <p>The collected data unearthed findings that can help inform manufacturers as they seek ways to fine tune new "smart" washers and dryers, according to David Korn, a principal at Cadmus Group and co-author of the study. <p>"Contrary to conventional wisdom, the energy use of the washer is not an issue. Hot water used in washing clothes is moderately important, but we found that households only use hot water about 13% of the time," Korn said. "The majority of the energy consumed and potential savings arise in reduced operation of the clothes dryer – not the washer." <p>As a result, washing machines should be set at high rates during the spin cycle to remove as much moisture as possible from the clothes. This reduces the amount of time the clothes must spend in the more energy-intensive dryer. <p>Front load, or horizontal axis tumbling washers, have become increasingly popular among the environmentally-conscious because they use less water than top load or vertical axis washers. But front loaders often shake and create noise in the spin cycle, causing consumers to set them at a slower spin speed to avoid the commotion. This leaves the clothes wetter than if the spin speed were high, and negates much of the energy benefit of using a more efficient appliance, Korn said. <p>"These findings can serve as a bridge to help manufacturers better understand changes needed to make smart grid washers and dryers more effective," Korn said. "I hope they will also help the industry understand that consumers need to be educated about how to use the spin cycle." <p>The full report, entitled, Do the Savings Come Out in the Wash?

Rosenbach and his brother Philip, the Rosenbach Museum & Library in Philadelphia offers a variety of exhibits related to books and literature as well as fine and decorative arts. Among the highlights from the brothers’ collection are the only surviving copy of Benjamin Franklin’s ﬁrst Poor Richard’s Almanac and James Joyce’s manuscript of Ulysses. Over time the collection has expanded, and now visitors also have the opportunity to check out selections from Bram Stoker’s 125 pages of working notes for his 1897 novel, Dracula.</p> <p>Stoker’s notes, which include chapter outlines, character lists, and documentation of his research and reading on vampires and other demons, are the inspiration behind the museum’s “Dracula and Friends” exhibit, which runs from late September through early November as part of the museum’s annual Dracula Festival.</p> <p>Kathy Haas, assistant curator at the Rosenbach, says that to avoid the risk of damage and to optimally preserve Stoker’s notes and all of the Rosenbach’s rare books, manuscripts, and objects, the museum must maintain specific humidity, temperature, and light levels. She explains, “Because our objects are sensitive, we try to keep things as stable as we can,” and the museum typically restricts the length of exhibits to four months in order to prevent excess exposure to light.</p> <p>To expertly monitor the indoor environment, the museum’s curators install <a href="http://www.onsetcomp.com/products/data-loggers-sensors/temperature"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">HOBO data loggers</span></a> in each exhibition gallery, every storage area, and, occasionally, in display cases that contain objects on loan to the museum. Data loggers are also placed in shipping crates for objects being loaned to ensure that temperature and humidity levels remain stable during transit. Because these devices are small and portable, the HOBO loggers can be situated out of sight, without affecting visitor experience.</p> <p>Haas notes that “with thousands of books and manuscripts on paper,” the relative humidity level is of great concern at the Rosenbach. With too much humidity, paper can absorb moisture, mold can develop, and book bindings can become warped.</p> <p>To circumvent these potential problems, <a href="http://www.onsetcomp.com/products/data-loggers-sensors/temperature"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">HOBO data loggers </span></a>are used to measure and record relative humidity every ten minutes. The target is to maintain approximately 50% rH and if conditions deviate too significantly, staff members take actions to correct the environment. The curators also track humidity levels over time in order to identify long-term fluctuation in humidity, which can also damage museum objects.</p> <p>Temperature can also significantly affect museum objects. Temperature changes can cause pieces to expand and contract and become damaged; warm temperatures also speed up the chemical processes of deterioration and decay. Haas notes that “what is ideal for objects isn’t always ideal for people,” and therefore they need to balance visitors’ comfort with the temperatures the museum objects and furnishings require.</p> <p>Since the two buildings that house the Rosenbach Museum & Library are historic, maintaining required environmental conditions can be challenging. Fortunately, by using HOBO data loggers to monitor these conditions, the museum staff is able to make the changes necessary to correct or mitigate out-of-range conditions. Additionally, the Rosenbach uses its temperature and humidity data when filling out standard facility report forms, which all museums require before authorizing loans. Some of the data loggers are also equipped with light-intensity sensors so the Rosenbach’s curators can ensure that sensitive items are not exposed to more light than is recommended.</p> <p>With the precise humidity, temperature, and light-intensity monitoring being conducted by HOBO data loggers and the staff of the Rosenbach Museum & Library, all of its rare treasures, including the working notes for Dracula, should continue to be well-preserved far into the future.</p> <p>Rosenbach’s Dracula and Friends exhibit runs through November 6, 2011.

As with any data logging project, various monitoring methods are available depending on factors such as the number of measurement points, their location, how often they need to be sampled and of course cost.</p> <p><strong>The Challenges</strong><br /> The challenges in providing a suitable monitoring solution to the Council for Geosciences were numerous. First, a variety of measurement types needed to be made, including simple room temperature, differential pressure, water conductivity and even the surface temperature of an instrument head that costs about the same as a medium family sedan.</p> <p>Another problem was the layout of the eight-level building. Measurements had to be made at various locations on various levels from the basement to the service area in the roof, and all the data had to be sent to a central location on the second floor with easy integration into the LIMS systems.</p> <p>In addition, the selected system had to be able to provide alarm notifications to building staff when certain limits were exceeded. While some parameters such as room temperature simply had to be logged several times throughout the day, others such as the instrument head temperature had critical levels for which alarm notifications needed to be triggered.</p> <p>Finally, due to the age and design of the building, there was a requirement to monitor for flooding. Expensive and delicate equipment had sustained damage in the past when the water supply system in the roof had failed. Thus, some form of flood detection and event monitoring was a key requirement.</p> <p><strong>The Options</strong><br /> The requirement that the data needed to be sent to a central point for easy integration into the Council's LIMS system made the use of multiple, traditional data loggers impractical. Each data logger would have needed its data downloaded manually by one or several staff members on a regular basis, which would be labor intensive. An additional problem with that approach was that the data would not be available in real-time.</p> <p>Another option would have been a centrally-located data acquisition system with hard wired probes spread around the building. However, due to the large amount of measurement points, and the complex layout of the building, this solution was rejected due the expense of both hardware and installation labor costs. It would also have been impractical to move the data collection points if required at a later stage.</p> <p>The type of data logging system to use was thus narrowed down to a wireless data logging system. Wireless technology held the promise of making installation simpler than a hard-wired system, eliminating the need for offloading individual data loggers throughout the facility, and allowing for easy relocation of the sensors.</p> <p><strong>The Solution</strong><br /> <a href="http://www.onsetcomp.com/indoor-wireless-hobo-data-nodes">Onset® HOBO® ZW Series data nodes</a> were chosen due to several unique features, the power of the included software, and the relative low cost of each measurement point.</p> <p>These wireless data logging nodes are battery-operated devices that transmit the recorded data back to a central receiver at user-specified intervals. They overcome one of the main problems of traditional wireless logging systems, in that each node does not have to be in direct communication with the receiver. Each node can be set up in dual purpose mode, by connecting to AC power, to act as a data logging node as well as a router to pass on data from other nodes. Through the combination of routers and data logging nodes, the system forms a self-healing network to ensure that the data reaches the receiver via an alternate path should the existing path fail or be obstructed.</p> <p>In the event of failure of the receiver or dedicated computer, each data node can store a large quantity of data in the on-board buffer memory and transmit it once the receiver is again available.</p> <p>Although the receiver and the router are usually mains-powered, they also have an internal battery backup so that data can continue to be collected even during a power failure. Thus, the potential for collected data being lost is minimized due to the redundancy and back-up built into the system.</p> <p><strong>The Measurements</strong></p> <p>As previously mentioned, the Council for Geosciences had a number of building parameters to measure. Many of these, such as room temperature and relative humidity, were simply measured using nodes with integrated probes dedicated for these measurements. Higher temperatures were measured using regular thermocouples and 4-20mA transmitters that were connected to nodes with analog inputs. Differential pressure sensors measuring across air-conditioning filters were similarly connected to analog nodes. Other parameters, such as water flow, were measured using third-party flow sensors connected to nodes with pulse inputs. Chilled water temperatures, as well as the temperature of the expensive instrument head, were measured with thermistor probes connected directly to analog inputs.</p> <p>Beyond environmental monitoring, one of the primary requirements of the system was to detect potential flooding caused by breaches in the aged water storage system in the roof of the building. This flooding had caused expensive damage on several occasions in the past, particularly when it occurred over weekends when the building was generally empty of personnel. To minimize the damage, a gutter system was installed to collect and re-route the flood waters. The data nodes act as a flood detection system with the installation of float switches in the gutters.</p> <p><strong>Data and Network Management</strong></p> <p>To help manage the wireless data node network and the flow of incoming data, accompanying <a href="http://www.onsetcomp.com/files/ZW/hobonode-mgr.pdf">HOBOnode® Manager</a> network management software is used. The software, which is part of Onset’s standard <a href="http://www.onsetcomp.com/products/software">HOBOware® Pro software</a> package, displays a list of all data nodes and measurement points in the network, along with current status and measured value. Along with this view are other frames that show graphs of selected measurement points, and a frame for configuring and displaying alarms.</p> <p>The software can be configured to allow for data to be automatically sent at regular intervals to remote locations through FTP and email, or to a local network folder.</p> <p>In terms of real-time graphing, graphs can be displayed individually or by grouping graphs by measurement type. The timebase of the graphs can be easily switched between the last 4 hours, 1 day, 1 week and 1 month using preset buttons, while another button allows a graph to be printed to the default printer. This feature is used by Geoscience to manually monitor process times and values, as well as trends and stability of long term measurements.</p> <p>HOBOnode Manager also features a “network map” feature which enabled building staff to import a schematic diagram of the eight levels of the building. The locations of each node are superimposed upon it. The last measured values from each node may also be shown. For troubleshooting purposes, lines showing the connections between each node can also be enabled.</p> <p><strong>The Alarms</strong><br /> Alarm notifications are typically sent via email, although visual and audio indicators on the PC display may also be used. Any triggered alarm can be programmed to send a message to any email address and an “alarm cleared” message can also be sent.</p> <p>A number of system alarms are available to building staff, including “node missing” and “node battery low.” Each measurement value can also be programmed with an alarm level to send a message if it trips and/or if the alarm clears.</p> <p>Building staff primarily receives alarms notifications via email for non-critical measurements. However, critical alarms such as temperatures on the XRF machine as well as the flood detection switches will trigger text messages to mobile phones in order to minimize equipment damage and financial loss.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p> <p>Since the wireless data node network has been installed, the Council of Geosciences has able to fulfill its measurement logging requirement for ISO 17025, as well as be alerted in the event of equipment failure or flooding.</p> <p>A total of 28 wireless data nodes have been deployed, which measure eight different parameters at a total of 56 measurement points in 20 rooms. Placement of the nodes was distributed over seven floors of the building, with all the data being returned in real time back to one central collection point.</p> <p>The data has also been made available via the integral web server to any user on the network, and is regularly exported for entry into the local LIMS system.</p> </div> </div> </div> <table id="attachments" class="sticky-enabled"> <thead><tr><th>Attachment</th><th>Size</th> </tr></thead> <tbody> <tr class="odd"><td><a href="http://www.onsetcomp.com/files/zw_0.jpg">zw.jpg</a></td><td>3.81 KB</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-meta-information"> <div class="field-label">meta_information: </div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <meta name="description" content="Measure changes in energy use, motor runtimes & more using HOBO state open/close data loggers by Onset.

At that time the scope of Lovett’s responsibility expanded from the fifth-grade classroom to the entire PHM school district, which includes 20 buildings, ranging in size from 1,600 square feet to 581,000 square feet, for a total of 1.9 million square feet of buildings.</p> <p>As an energy manager, Lovett’s main focus is to identify opportunities to reduce energy use and costs for the corporation, whose utility bills add up to about $2 million a year. He finds these opportunities by monitoring the buildings – both by walking around to see “what’s on and whether it should be on” and by analyzing data recorded by HOBO® data loggers from Massachusetts-based Onset Computer Corporation. Lovett deploys the loggers for two-week time periods at various locations throughout the schools, either in known or suspected problem areas, or just to conduct random checks to verify equipment operation.</p> <p>As an energy educator, Lovett visits classrooms from time to time throughout the school year to talk to the students about energy conservation, but says that the education aspect of the job pertains more to ensuring that the staff understands what they need to do to save energy, as well as the importance of their actions. While HOBO data loggers provide the temperature and humidity data that Lovett needs to do his job as an energy manager, they also provide the benefit of “increasing the awareness of energy conservation for the corporation.” Their very presence in a classroom or other school space heightens staff attentiveness with respect to appropriate thermostat and lights control, opening/closing windows and doors, and raising/lowering blinds. Fortunately, the energy-conscious behavior that’s displayed while a data logger is situated in a particular location tends to become habit – perhaps in part because staff members know that that “energy pincher” Lovett is like a detective on the lookout, who could be back at any time to conduct another two-week data logger study of their classrooms.</p> <p>Energy Education, the consulting firm that helped the PHM school system start up its energy management program, supplied two HOBO data loggers as part of an initial “tool kit.” The PHM soon purchased additional loggers and now owns one per building, as well as a data “shuttle” that Lovett uses to offload the recorded information from the logger, and HOBOware Pro software to graph the data.</p> <p>The loggers' portability is a great advantage for Lovett, who moves them from room to room every two weeks. He says that the HOBOs are “…a great way to just keep an eye out, to be in places that I can’t be, because as an energy manager you want to be able to see it all.” Lovett notes too that the shuttle is extremely valuable because he no longer has to bring his laptop with him to each monitoring location to retrieve data. Instead, the shuttle device offloads the data and re-launches the logger automatically before it’s moved to a new location. Lovett can then take the graphed information from about ten loggers at once and transfer it to the computer in his office for analysis.</p> <p>When deploying a data logger in a classroom, Lovett leaves a note informing the teacher of the logger’s location – generally in a visible spot, but preferably beyond the reach of most students. He also offers to share data from the logger with the teacher and students and provides contact information to answer any questions they might have. The HOBOs are set to record temperature, relative humidity, and light intensity at ten-minute intervals for a two-week period, allowing Lovett to collect information pertaining to occupied/non-occupied and weekday/weekend conditions.</p> <p>Lovett also uses the HOBOs for routine verification of equipment operation, such as confirming that an Energy Management System (EMS) is starting up or shutting down a heating system on schedule and maintaining a comfortable temperature range of 68ºF to 72ºF when a building is occupied. His use of a date logger helped him to discover that the EMS in one of the schools was running until 5:00 p.m., about an hour later than necessary. In another instance, Lovett was able to make a correction after using a data logger to detect that the EMS’s calculated optimal start in two of the corporation’s largest buildings was overshooting the schedule and heating the space unnecessarily for five hours before the school day begins. In spring, summer, and fall, he uses the loggers to look at humidity, with the goal of running the air-conditioning the minimal amount of time necessary to achieve a comfortable 40% relative humidity and avoid conditions that could lead to mold problems.</p> <p>Currently, at the recommendation of the head custodian of the one of the middle schools, Lovett has a data logger deployed in a gymnasium which was previously heated using just one of two available air handler units, but now seems too cool even with both air handler units operating. Lovett suspects some kind of maintenance problem, but notes that the first step is to “get that logger in there and see what’s going on.”</p> <p>Another case involves two identical elementary school buildings in the PHM School Corporation. The schools are located only a few miles apart, were built around the same time, and contain the same equipment, except one has a central vacuum system, which has been shut off. Although both schools use about the same amount of electricity, the one with the central vacuum system has been using 200% more natural gas than the other to achieve similar temperatures. Lovett noticed that a significantly greater number of icicles form along the roof line of the school that uses more natural gas, which led him to suspect that it might not be as well insulated as the other school. Because it’s not practical to visually inspect the roof of an industrial building for insulation, Lovett deployed a HOBO data logger in the space above the ceiling tiles in identical locations of each building. The answer to this mystery is yet to be solved, but if it turns out that the temperature is warmer in the building that uses more natural gas, Lovett can conclude that it’s not as well insulated as its twin and work toward correcting the problem.</p> <p>Between Lovett walking the beat at various hours of the day and night to directly observe conditions at the school buildings and the dedicated HOBOs steadfastly logging data for his analysis, from January 2007 to December 2010 the PHM School Corporation realized a savings of $2,110,212 in energy costs.</p> </div> </div> </div> <table id="attachments" class="sticky-enabled"> <thead><tr><th>Attachment</th><th>Size</th> </tr></thead> <tbody> <tr class="odd"><td><a href="http://www.onsetcomp.com/files/u10.jpg">u10.jpg</a></td><td>2.57 KB</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </article> <article> <h1>HOBO Data Logger for Extreme Ocean Depths</h1> <p>Onset — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 18:39:06 +0000</p> <div class="field field-type-date field-field-release-date"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <span class="date-display-single">02/09/2012</span> </div> </div> </div> <p><HTML><HEAD><META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW" /></head><body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"></body></html></p> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bordercolor="#000000" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="800" align="center"> <tr> <td width="800" height="127" align="left" valign="top"> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" bordercolor="" width="100%" bgcolor=""> <tr> <td valign="top" align="center"> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="center"> <table width="100%" bgcolor="#ffffff" border="0" bordercolor="" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td style="font-family:Arial; font-size:13px"> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" align="center"><a title="www.onsetcomp.com" href="http://cl.exct.net/?qs=884f202f46a3309d08f23e7d4eb59294348dc9dd1d58ec4a47b2829f856e818d" ></a> </p> </td> </tr> </table> </p> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" valign="middle"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td valign="top" width="63%" align="left"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td height="27" align="left" valign="top"> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" bordercolor="" width="100%" bgcolor=""> <tr> <td> <table width="100%" bgcolor="" border="0" bordercolor="" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td style="font-family:Arial; font-size:13px"><P><FONT color=#333333><FONT size=2><STRONG><FONT color=#333333 size=2><STRONG>May 2011</strong></font><BR /><br /> </strong><FONT color=#333333><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: rgb(50,152,102)"><SPAN style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)"><FONT color=#333333><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: rgb(50,152,102)"><SPAN style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,51)"><FONT color=#333333><FONT size=4><FONT color=#008000><STRONG>NEW!</strong></font> <STRONG><FONT color=#333333>HOBO Data Logger for Extreme Ocean Depths</font></strong></font></font></span></span></font></span></span></font></font></font></p><br /> <P><FONT color=#333333> The new HOBO U12 Deep Ocean temperature data logger is designed to track water temperatures in the most extreme ocean environments.
