Energy Study
This borrower used a Dent Power Logging Meter to determine energy savings from a freezer equipment and controls upgrade at a food processing facility. Yearly energy savings were estimated at 47%, and measuring the energy savings made it possible to obtain a substantial utility rebate, resulting in a payback of less than two years!
Ventilation Study
The use of an Alnor EBT731 Balometer Capture Hood to take air volume readings at diffusers and grilles in a newly constructed Child Development Center resulted in improved ventilation and contributed to achieving LEED certification for the building.
Pandemic Hospital Electrical Demand Study
This case study describes the use of Fluke 1730 3-Phase Logging Power Meters to analyze electrical loads in several different hospitals during the pandemic, resulting in data that will help in future planning and potentially result in large savings and reduced carbon emissions for hospitals in the future.
