methodology
STEP 1: We distributed the HOBOs in representative places throughout the Ecotrust Office and the CFPC Office at about the height of a seated person's head (see graphs), on thermostats, and on diffusers. Six full days of temperature and humidity recordings were collected and analyzed from the HOBOs.

STEP 2: HOBOs placed at diffusers and thermostats in Ecotrust Office and CFPC Office to document and compare HVAC operation. We recorded HOBO data at both interior and perimeter locations for each office space.
STEP 3: Based on the collected data, graphs were generated comparing the HVAC operation for each space (shown in data & analysis section).

STEP 4: In order to gain an understanding of the HVAC issues, and to gain insight about data interpretation, discussions took place with: the architect, construction foreman, mechanical engineer, and tenant improvement mechanical engineer.
