When the cold weather comes, buildings are put to the test. Uneven heating in apartments, cold radiators and draughts from leaky windows affect comfort and drive up energy costs. With the right measurement tools, you can quickly pinpoint the causes and take action – before the winter cold sets in and the problems grow.
With over 20 years of experience in the industry, ventilation technician Tor Halvorsen knows the importance of reliable measuring equipment for effective adjustments. He has been using the Celsicom V600 for just over a year. The results have been unequivocal: less time and more precise airflows, smoother operation and significant energy savings.
The thermal imaging camera is a versatile working tool to say the least. With its detailed thermal images, you can ensure optimal indoor climates for people, equipment and machinery. And, more importantly, you have an opportunity to detect and fix costly energy wasters. Still high electricity prices make this undeniably interesting, right?
There are many places in a church that can be exposed to moisture, causing damage to walls and ceilings, furnishings and decorations, textiles and books. An increasing number of parishes and pastorates have started to systematically log moisture and also temperature to avoid costly moisture damage while minimizing heating costs.
It is important to inspect certain critical environments at regular intervals in order to detect and remedy any mold problems in good time. In crawl spaces and attics, it is common for moisture to cause microbial growth. Here, experienced moisture consultant Kim Olmås explains how mold develops, how to detect it and what measures to…
ECiS – Energy Concept in Sweden AB is a company that offers solutions to save energy, reduce environmental impact and improve the indoor environment both in buildings and/or processes.
Since 2016, energy engineer Billy Axelsson has been using data loggers from the Celsicom measurement system to remotely monitor various indoor climates in Kil municipality’s buildings. The loggers enable more efficient work and reduce energy consumption and the risk of costly breakdowns.
The Church of Sweden Örebro Pastorate actively monitors the indoor climate in a large number of churches and office buildings. As part of this work, building technician Johan Asplund uses Celsicom loggers.
Dry indoor air in winter can lead to problems for both people and production environments. To detect and, as far as possible, remedy this, it is a good idea to measure and preferably log air temperature and humidity over a longer period.
Here are excerpts from the National Archives’ regulations and general advice on the indoor climate in archive premises (RA-FS 2013:4) and our measurement solutions that help you document your archive climate.
There is growing interest in logging the climate in different environments. This is according to Axel Arleij, moisture expert at Raksystems (formerly Dry-IT), which helps construction and real estate companies to monitor the building climate and investigate the indoor climate. A large number of Celsicom boxes are used to measure temperature and humidity.
What exactly is a good indoor climate? On the one hand, people may have different perceptions of what is acceptable in terms of temperature and draughts. What we call thermal comfort. On the other hand, there are physical measurable quantities such as air temperature, radiant temperature from surfaces, air movement, humidity and so on.
With powerful fans in door panels – known as Blower Doors – Olle Syrén controls at AEM Byggkonsult the airtightness of residential and commercial buildings. Partly because to confirm developers’ energy calculations and to detect any air leakage. – “We see a continued increase in demand for density measurements,” says Olle.
Operation technician Martin Lundin works with the indoor climate at the hospital in Västerås but also at the hospitals in Fagersta, Sala and Köping in Region Västmanland. His constant challenge is to create comfortable indoor environments for both healthcare professionals and patients while keeping energy consumption low.
Almost ten years ago, Johannes Öberg switched from being a shop salesman to a service technician in ventilation. He hasn’t regretted it for a second. We caught up with Johannes to talk about the varied challenges of the job, ‘airborne’ and his love of testo 400.
