Dedicated microprocessor-based data acquisition systems
are beginning to be used to monitor the energy savings from
building energy conservation retrofits. These systems capture
data from important monitoring points and store the values for
periodic transfer to a central location. While there are many
data loggers available that appear suited to this task, choosing
between them is complicated by a large number of manufacturers,
a lack of standard communications protocols, and most
significantly, no standardized tests for reporting their
capabilities. This paper addresses the last point with a battery of
tests that were developed and applied to data loggers from nine
manufacturers.
