  2. Defying Dampness: Moisture Detection with Moisture Meters

    On the left, large, white text on a black background reads "Defying Dampness Moisture Detection". On the right a man is using a Teledyne FLIR MR265 Moisture Meter to check the water content of a ceiling. As we venture into the damp and unpredictable autumn-winter season here in the UK, moisture management in construction becomes all the more crucial. For construction professionals, the ability to identify and manage moisture and dampness issues is paramount. These silent adversaries can undermine structural integrity, lead to mould infestations, and result in costly post-construction repairs. In this article, we look at the essential aspects of moisture detection, focusing on why it's critical, defining acceptable moisture levels, methods for detecting moisture in walls and floors, and strategies for effectively rectifying these issues.

  6. PASS Proudly Provides FLIR Thermal Cameras for Octopus Energy Home Efficiency Surveys

    Cartoon thermal image of an office desk with the Octopus Energy octopus on the table. This octopus is the only yellow/orange item in the image. In the background you can see a plant and picture frames. On the left of the image, large, white text reads "PASS Proudly Provides FLIR Thermal Cameras For Octopus Energy Home Efficiency Surveys" It is no secret that the cost-of-living crisis, rising global temperatures, and approaching climate targets have created more pressure than ever to reduce our energy consumption. For over a year, we have published multiple reports on councils, charities, and utility companies harnessing thermal imaging to identify sources of heat loss around homes, in a bid to reduce both energy bills and carbon emissions. We are very pleased and proud to reveal that we have played a significant role in one of these stories: that of Octopus Energy lending Teledyne FLIR Thermal Cameras to its customers as part of its Octo Assist customer support initiative. As Teledyne FLIR’s number one UK supplier, we initially provided three-hundred Teledyne FLIR One Pro Thermal Smartphone Attachments for Octopus Energy’s thermal camera loan program. Now, thanks to the popularity of the project, we have had the privilege of supplying a further one hundred and seventy new Teledyne FLIR One Edge Pro Thermal Smartphone Attachments. We are delighted to know that these cameras will go towards helping Octopus Energy’s customers lower their energy consumption, emissions, and expenditure. Continue reading →
  7. News Roundup: Now is the Time to Test for Legionella

    The image of a blue legionella bacteria in a circle sits in the middle of a  background of large water droplets. Above and to the left of the bacteria large, white text reads "News Roundup". To the right of the bacteria, large, white text reads "Now Is the Time To Test for Legionella". As businesses and schools reopen after the Christmas break, now is the time to test for Legionella pneumophilia bacteria that may have built up in stagnant water systems. With all the chaos of last year, it is understandable that stories about outbreaks of Legionnaires’ disease were not at the top of news feeds. Nevertheless, several such stories broke in 2022, and, if we don’t want a repeat of this in 2023, it is imperative that we all take precautionary measures. Continue reading →
  8. Seeing Sound with the Fluke ii910 Precision Acoustic Imager

    On the right a man in a black t-shirt and protective glasses is using a Fluke ii900 to inspect electrical equipment. On the left is a yellow box. Inside it is black text that reads 'Fluke ii900 Sonic Industrial Imager. Join the webinar: Introduction to Fluke Acoustic Imagers ii900 & ii910. Nov 11, 2021 10:00AM GMT.' Predictive maintenance is essential for sustaining uptime, reducing repair costs, and maximising profits. Often these routines involve checking for leaks in air, gas, steam and vacuum systems, or partial discharge in power distribution systems and high-voltage equipment. Acoustic imaging provides a simpler, quicker, and safer method of spotting these problems at an earlier stage enabling easier, cheaper, and more convenient repair.[1] Continue reading →
  9. 4 Things to Consider When Installing an EV Chargepoint

    The UK government announced a series of measures to end the country’s contribution to climate change by 2050 and achieve a greener transport future. These steps include phasing out the sale of new petrol and diesel cars/vans by 2030 and ensuring that all new cars/vans are fully zero-emissions at the tailpipe from 2035. Plans are supported by over £1.8 billion of government funding intended to encourage the uptake of greener vehicles. Funding includes grants for purchasing zero or ultra-low emissions cars/vans, as well as grants for local authorities, businesses, and homeowners to install EV chargepoints. The UK government has pledged £1.3 billion to accelerate the installation of electric vehicle charging stations in homes and on streets across the UK, as well as on motorways in England.[1] However, installing an EV charger is not as simple as just connecting it to your electricity supply. There are many factors to consider and electrical parameters that need to be monitored. Investing in a portable energy logger, such as Chauvin Arnoux’s PEL103, provides an easy, ergonomic, and economic solution to evaluating your company’s capacity to support multiple EV chargepoints.[2] Continue reading →
  10. Eight Steps Businesses Should Take Towards Energy Efficiency

    It is estimated that most of the UK’s businesses are energy inefficient; recent studies show that some businesses are squandering 50% of their electrical energy usage. Not only is this bad for business as it drives overhead costs up and, therefore, profits down, it also results in unnecessary greenhouse gas emissions. The damaging economic impacts and positive environmental side effects of the COVID-19 pandemic mean it has never been more important to monitor energy usage. PELs (portable energy loggers), such as the Chauvin Arnoux PEL103, provide a compact, convenient, and clever solution to monitoring, optimising, and subsequently reducing energy consumption.[1] Continue reading →
