Many of you have been asking for updates on our Tool Lending Library, specifically which tools we plan on carrying. While this list is continually evolving, we do have a list that has been recently updated. Tools are starting to arrive and Lucie and Carol are having a great time opening boxes (minus the paper cuts) and are really enjoying testing the equipment (yes, we love energy efficiency THAT much). Here are two items that will soon be available from the Smart Building Center Tool Lending Library.

Data Loggers

Onset Data LoggerDo you want to measure the temperature in an office where many people are complaining that it’s too cold? If so, Onset Hobo 4-Channel Loggers allow you to measure important information like: Temperature, Relative Humidity, Light Intensity, AC Voltage, Air Velocity, and Carbon Dioxide. The Loggers can take Temperature readings from -4°F to 158°F, Relative Humidity from 0% to 95%, and Foot-Candles from 1 to 3,000. Data can be gathered in 1-second to 18-hour intervals. The Loggers also come with downloadable software to help analyze the data.

  • Flexible support for a wide range of external sensors
  • LCD confirms logger operation and displays near real-time measurement data
  • On-screen alarms notify you when a sensor reading exceeds set thresholds
  • Stores 1.9 million measurements for longer deployments between offloads
  • Compatible with HOBOware and HOBOware Pro software for logger setup, graphing

Combustion Analyzer

Through our lending program, you could use this tool to set-up, clean, and check fuel burning appliances. It can also be used for Boiler maintenance, service work, and Carbon Monoxide testing.

Stay tuned as we highlight more tools we will be carrying in our library.
