Onset Publishes Guide On Finding Hidden Energy Waste In Industrial And Commercial Buildings

BOURNE, Mass. — The first step to reducing building energy costs is identifying energy waste. Statistics on utility bills or name plates on 

equipment, while useful, are not enough to identify the practices and equipment that are contributing to high energy use.

Portable data loggers can be used to obtain critical energy use information in a wide range of commercial building types – from manufacturing plants to office buildings. The data collected can support proposed changes, whether it involves purchasing new energy-saving equipment or changing operating schedules.

A new 12-page best practices guide from Onset entitled, Finding Hidden Energy Waste with Data Loggers, describes how data loggers  can be used to obtain information on energy consumption and environmental conditions in industrial and commercial buildings. It covers eight common forms of energy waste, and provides an overview of how to gather and analyze data and calculate savings for each opportunity.
