The City of London Corporation understand that regular monitoring of their social housing dwellings for conditions that could give rise to damp and mould is vital to help protect residents’ comfort and health, plus the dwellings themselves.
The Solution
A recent new development at their Isleden House Estate in North London uses the latest technology to ensure reliable temperature and humidity monitoring, combined with ease of data collection, analysis and alerts.
Each flat has two HOBO MX1101 temperature and humidity data loggers attached to walls. The loggers continuously take readings of the ambient air and store them on their internal memory.
Data collection is very simple and wireless (even through walls), so access to the flats is not required. All that is required is a bluetooth-enabled

The CobBauge team are working with Cob; a mixture of earth and fibre, such as straw, which is then mixed with water. Cob was commonly used for building construction in South-West England up until the Victorian era.
CobBauge is developing, an innovative cob using local soil and agricultural

Christina’s extensive research for the report was conducted in England, Scotland, Denmark, Holland, and the USA.
We are very appreciative of the kind words Christina had to say within the report about Tempcon Sales Engineer, Marc Paterson: “Thank you to Marc Paterson at Tempcon who supplied most of my test equipment to me and helped me hugely throughout the process.”
“Thank you to Marc Paterson of Tempcon, for the endless phone calls over the years, the genuine interest in my project and assistance with the choosing and use of equipment, you have been brilliant.”The following is an excerpt from pages 45 to 48 of the report

There is certainly a profusion of wireless technology available and the amount is only likely to increase. For some people wireless data logging isn't necessary (or practical) but for a growing number, the line between logging, monitoring and controlling is becoming increasingly blurred and this is where wireless technology comes into its own.
We asked our clients to tell us what their top reasons for going wireless are and so, in no particular order, here are the results:
- Using wireless loggers ensures my measurements are always taken at the right time and are recorded correctly
- Alarms & exceptions are recorded and reported by email to my PC or smart device enabling me to act promptly
- I can now monitor how my goods are stored out of hours
- I'm able to easily share research data with other Universities

MX1101 bluetooth temperature/humidity monitor for use by housing associations to help detect causes of mould. Data loggers can play a crucial part in identifying and demonstrating the underlying causes of damp and mould in domestic properties.
Tempcon supply a wide range of data loggers that can be used to evidence the reasons behind mould and damp. For example – is it caused by tenant behaviour?
The humidity and temperature of a dwelling can be assessed against outdoor temperatures and patterns of behaviour established.
Problem housing stock can be easily assessed, enabling the tenants to be given advice if their actions are the cause and the Housing Association to evidence their behaviour.

Calibration is vitally important wherever measurements are important, it enables users and businesses to have confidence in the results that they monitor, record and subsequently control.
If you would like your equipment calibrated by our on-site lab, please contact us for a quote.
Calibration is the process of comparing a reading on one piece of equipment or system, with another piece of equipment that has been calibrated and referenced to a known set of parameters. The equipment used as a reference should itself be directly traceable to equipment that is calibrated according to ISO/IEC 17025.
ISO/IEC 17025 is the International Standard for the accreditation of Testing and Calibration Laboratories. It includes quality management system requirements along with technical requirements.
