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.

Our HOBO temperature

With the Onset HOBO MX1101 data logger you can measure and transmit temperature and relative humidity data wirelessly to mobile devices via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. Ideal for tracking warehouse storage temperatures, keeping tabs on humidity levels in museums, investigating occupant comfort complaints, and many more building monitoring applications.

Yayoi Kaneko - researcher at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, conducted a study on the Sett microclimate. In this study, the internal conditions of setts within five European badger (Meles meles) social groups are monitored during the cub-rearing season. Sett temperature showed substantial and significant variation over this period, while relative humidity remained stable throughout.

Abstract
Maintaining homeothermy is essential for mammals, but has considerable energetic costs. In this study, Sett microclimate within five European badger (Meles meles) social groups during the cub-rearing season were monitored, that is, February to July, in 2004. Sett temperature showed substantial and significant variation over this period, while relative humidity remained stable throughout.

The Sett microclimate was least stable during the period for which cubs remain entirely below ground between February and April; however here the instrumented main
