Abstract
A computerized monitoring system was designed, acquired and installed in a sunspace addition to a single family residence in Hudson, Wisconsin. The system is designed to monitor the energy required or contributed by the sunspace and the major variables affecting energy use and savings. This paper describes the test room addition, the monitoring system hardware and software, and the installation of the monitoring system. The system described makes use of an on-site microcomputer to read signals from a series of sensors, make initial calculations and write the data to a storage disk. A second microcomputer is used to analyze the data off site and compare it with predicted energy performance.
