Tinytag data loggers aid viticulture investigation into the growth of Riesling grapes
The quality of grapes used in wine production is influenced by a number of environmental factors. The topography of the land on which vines are cultivated, soil quality, levels of solar radiation, rainfall, wind and temperature and humidity all contribute to the taste of the grape and the quality of the final product: the wine.

Tinytag data loggers monitor wastewater samples for South West Water | Tinytag Case Study
About 95% of the water that South West Water supplies to Devon, Cornwall and small areas of Dorset and Somerset comes back to them for treatment and disposal (South West Water: Code of Practice on our Wastewater Service). Once wastewater has been treated, it can be released back into the environment, providing it has been treated to safe and acceptable levels.

Tinytag data loggers monitor temperature and humidity levels for Berkshire Record Office
It is critical for archive environments to maintain adequate environmental levels in areas where historical records are held. An unsuitable environment, including inappropriate temperature and humidity levels, can adversely impact the condition of precious materials, causing issues such as mould growth and accelerating the rate of material deterioration.

Long-term monitoring for museum preservation | Tinytag monitoring solutions
Rushden Transport Museum in Northamptonshire is uniquely situated in the Victorian-era Rushden Station. Housing a large collection of items relating to the history of road and rail transport, as well as the social history of the local area, the old station building and the Museum’s storage – a nearby port-a-cabin – are enigmatic surroundings for such collections – but are not ideal environments for displaying and storing sensitive museum collections.

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.

Sub-Antarctic museum uses Tinytag data loggers for long-term monitoring and conservation
South Georgia Museum opened in 1992 in Grytviken, an old whaling station on South Georgia, an island in the polar front of the Southern Atlantic. The Museum is housed in the former Whaling Station Manager’s Villa and is home to an exciting collection of items that tell the story of the cultural heritage and natural history of South Georgia. The Museum’s collections include exhibitions on discovery, sealing, whaling, surveying and expeditions, maritime and military history, natural history and Sir Ernest Shackleton, the 20th Century Antarctic explorer.

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.

Underwater data loggers record seawater temperatures in marine monitoring programme
Non-native species (also referred to as introduced species) are species which have been introduced to a new environment by human activity. Tinytag Aquatic 2 data loggers are used to monitor seawater temperatures to assess how temperatures affect non-native populations at Orkney, an archipelago off the coast of Scotland.

Monitoring temperatures of Antarctic soil
As our climate changes, rising temperatures are having untold effects on the Earth’s ecosystems. A team of researchers from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) have used Tinytag data loggers to investigate how increasing temperatures in maritime Antarctica could impact the growth of a decomposer fungus that inhabits Antarctic soil.
