    Hi,

    I'd like some form of temperature monitoring device that I can leave in
    my home under construction and monitor the temps over the coming
    days\months?

    Can anyone PM me suggestions on anything suitable?

    Thanks

    SAS

    How about something like this...
    http://www.ebay.ie/itm/NEW-WH1080-Touch-Screen-Weather-Station-PC-Link-/110698430247

    It's a weather station kit that connectes to the pc to download data..
    The base station records the temp & humidity inside while the rest records all outside data, wind, rain etc..

    When the build is done you still have it for your own use

    I have a bit of experience with these in anothe application but this kind of logger is the best to use IMO. You can track longterm trends and especially day/night variations.

    I like these yokes because you can collect and correlate the data easily. you could be on the speaker list at next years PH conference sas :)

    I'm curious.
    Why would you need/want to record data like this ?

    Because you can see exactly what happens where the logger is placed.
    Temperature fluctuations can be mapped and used as a way of determining where and when heat is introduced/lost.
    Houses could use it as a tool to find areas/times of heat loss, a flower importer could see where the chilled transport was heating up en route to its destination.
    Supermarkets use them as a way of documenting cold chains.
    They are very useful tools and have come down significantly in price.

    Yes, they'd be delighted to have me stand up and tell people that the last thing they should build is a PH...

    I'm curious too ;)

    Basically, as my home is designed to be passive I'd be interested to see if it is or not, even as this early stage. How warm will it stay when it's not occupied etc.
