Why are Temperature and Relative Humidity Important

• Is it too hot or too cold?• Troubleshoot heating and air conditioning systems• Museum & Storage areas need to maintain a stable

environment• Commissioning – When the Building Automation System isn't

enough• Low cost tools to help save money & energy for temperature

set-back strategies• Moisture – help prevent mold

Weatherization StudyOak Ridge National Laboratory & Energy Center of Wisconsin

• Challengeo Funded by a $5 billion federal assistance program, National Weatherization Assistance

Program Evaluationo Determine if low-income homes in the Midwest, Northeast & South heated with

propane & oil achieve comparable energy savings to those heated by natural gas.o How to accurately measure the differences between bulk fuel deliveries vs natural

gas’s monthly bill.o Analyzing fuel deliveries, alone, can create skewed results. For example, one household

may fill its oil tank to the top for the winter; another may fill it only partially and then use a wood-burning stove to supplement.

• Solutiono HOBO U10-003 Temp/RH loggers used at the main thermostat for space temperature

over the study period which was used to improve the variable-base degree day analysis.

o U10-003 also placed in spaces that used additional heating sources such as space heaters or wood stoves

o Additional HOBOs where used to monitor the run-time of the heating systems.
