SR174 Workplace environment data loggers (2007)

This report outlines the specifications of a low-cost indoor environmental data logging unit for office workstations. The unit collects temperatures (air and radiant), lighting levels (global and directional), relative humidity (RH), air movement, noise and presence or absence of subjects.

This has been achieved by using a series of low cost sensors connected via a data acquisition unit into the office workstation PC. A prototype of the system has been built and successfully tested at a BRANZ office workstation.
