Housing and domestic properties

Tinytags are used to assess the performance of heating and ventilation systems, and building products such as insulation materials, as well as overall energy efficiency.

Tinytag data logger used for Post-Occupancy Evaluation in West of Ireland Passive House

Passive House is a voluntary standard for energy efficiency in buildings. Buildings designed in accordance with Passive House standards typically have an ultra-low rate of energy usage, making them more environmentally-friendly than buildings that rely on active heating and cooling. For a new, domestic ‘Passive House’ in County Mayo, West of Ireland, temperature and relative humidity monitoring with a Tinytag data logger was crucial to understanding how the building performed in real, lived-in conditions.

Tinytag data loggers assist sustainable building project in Tanzania

In the UK, architects and engineers optimise building design to ensure that buildings are kept warm during the cold months. When British architects Andy Simmonds and Adele Mills of Simmonds Mills Architects were asked to design new housing and educational facilities for the Tanzanian Children’s Eco Village (run by UK based NGO, Islamic Help), they, alongside energy consultant Alan Clarke, came across the new challenge of optimising buildings for cooling in the year-round warm climate of Tanzania.

Tinytags help evaluate energy performance of new and refurbished buildings

Tinytags monitor energy performance in new and refurbished buildings to help provide essential data concerning the success of energy saving initiatives and technologies.

Energy efficiency and energy management

Tinytags monitor power usage and environmental conditions locally or throughout premises, helping to identify where steps can be taken to improve energy efficiency and maximise cost savings.
HVAC/Environmental management

Environmental monitoring can help assess energy efficiency and also help validate whether heating, air-conditioning or climate control systems are working correctly.
Refurbishment projects

Tinytags are used to assess environmental conditions and improvements during building refurbishment projects, and are frequently used to compare ‘before’ and ‘after’ situations.
Educational establishments

Tinytags help ensure that correct environmental conditions and optimum air quality are maintained, including helping to prevent a CO2 build up in densely occupied areas.
Offices/workplaces and public buildings

Data logging can help assess overall building energy efficiency. It will also help ensure the comfort and wellbeing of occupants, and record conditions to comply with H&S regulations.
Industrial premises

The energy logger monitors power usage in power-hungry premises and high consumption equipment, while other Tinytags may be used to monitor environmental conditions in the workplace.
