    Spent yesterday out on-site troubleshooting our monitoring equipment with Tony and Philip from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. (These guys are writing the book on home energy research.)

    I know I am bad about promising longer explanations in the future, but... I promise a longer explanation in the future about all our phase iv quantitative evaluation efforts.

    A quick summary:

    -We are monitoring basically every circuit on the panel board individually using a powerful suite of tools and equipment from eMonitor.

    -We are monitoring the effectiveness of the energy recovery ventilator. (1 temp/RH probe in all four ducts)

    -We are monitoring water temperatures to watch the solar hotwater/ electric makeup heat interaction.

    -Along with all the basic stuff like outdoor weather, interior temperatures/RH, water use for the rainwater system, etc.

    I know not all the archinects out there are that interested in this kind of stuff, but you have to admit that it is really neat. Until next time, friends...
