Environmental Focus

Green by nature for more than three decades, HOBO data loggers have been an instrumental part of countless green/conservation initiatives. Here are just a few examples:

• Indoors, HOBO data loggers track energy and HVAC-R systems performance to help reduce energy costs.
• Outdoors, HOBO products document climate change and monitor the efficiency of wind and solar power systems.
• Underwater, HOBO data loggers study the impact of elevated water temperatures on fish habitats.

On June 29, 2012, Onset achieved a major milestone by reducing their carbon footprint with the startup of a new 225-kilowatt roof-mounted photovoltaic system. Made up of 936 solar panels, the solar energy system is expected to produce nearly 50% of the company's annual electricity usage.
