Micro data loggers are fast becoming the tools of choice among performance contractors, service technicians and engineers responsible for diagnosing and evaluating HVAC/R systems and monitoring energy efficiency and usage.

These inexpensive tools are being used in many industries from federal and state energy and weatherization agencies and larger performance contracting companies to smaller service companies and independent technicians, in both residential and commercial applications.

Data loggers are used in many different applications to monitor and collect specific types of information. Their small size makes data loggers ideal for mounting in out-of-the-way locations. Some useful applications for monitoring building systems performance include:

What is a data logger? A data logger is an electronic instrument that records measurements (temperature, relative humidity, light intensity, on/off, open/closed, voltage, pressure and events) over time. Typically, data loggers are small, battery-powered devices that are equipped with a microprocessor, data storage and sensor. Most data loggers utilize turn-key software on a personal computer to initiate the logger and view the collected data.
