For many years Sensaphone's remote monitoring systems have been able to connect with sensors to monitor vital environmental and operating conditions in HVAC systems. Conditions like temperature, humidity, power failure, water leaks, and equipment failure can all play a part in creating a comfortable environment. Using an environmental monitoring system allows users to remotely view their monitored conditions and receive alarms via the built-in autodialers. 

Now we also offer sensors that can measure airflow in ductwork, differential pressure in ducts and rooms, and dew point. All of these sensors can be used with any..

HVAC equipment represents a large portion of a building or manufacturing plant’s energy usage and operating expenses. HVAC monitoring systems can help minimize these costs by continuously tracking environmental conditions. They also monitor the performance of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.

Sensaphone recently exhibited at the International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition (or AHR Expo) in Atlanta. It's the world’s largest HVACR event, bringing together industry professionals from around the world to share ideas, showcase new technology and discuss trends. This year’s expo was a huge success with more than 45,000 people attending.

If you’re responsible for the performance of your facility's HVAC equipment and the environment it regulates, you know that you can’t keep watch over it 24/7. That’s why monitoring HVAC performance with data loggers helps facility managers maintain operational efficiency and prevent costly downtime.

Sensaphone just returned from exhibiting at the International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition (or AHR Expo) in Chicago, which showcases the latest in HVACR technology and innovation. The event was an overwhelming success, with over 2,000 manufacturers and suppliers and more than 65,000 industry professionals in attendance. Attendees came from every state in America and 165 countries worldwide.

Facility managers have a lot on their plate. They're responsible for keeping the property's equipment and environmental systems functioning at all times to ensure the comfort of workers, residents and guests. Even when they aren't on the clock or on site, they have to maintain zero downtime for HVAC systems. So they also need to know what kind of proactive maintenance to perform to prevent equipment malfunction or failure. Here's how HVAC remote monitoring systems make their lives a lot easier.

All facility managers know that the HVAC system is a core part of any commercial structure. Obviously, HVAC system failure causes discomfort for those who are visiting, working or living in the affected building. But it can also lead to operational downtime and expensive repairs. And though an inefficient HVAC system might not fail outright, it uses unnecessary energy. That's why 24/7 HVAC remote monitoring is an integral part of an efficient facility management strategy.

Critical machine parts like separators, cooling towers, blowers, generators, pumps, bearings and motors usually give hints they are damaged and about to fail. When a fan becomes unbalanced or bearings start failing, they start vibrating more. Although this change wouldn't be noticeable to the human eye or ear, it's easily detected by a vibration sensor.
