Thermal microclimate

Senseca instruments for thermal microclimate analysis allow a complete assessment of thermal comfort, thermal stress and indoor air quality in workplaces, offices, schools, laboratories, public buildings and production areas. They are designed for professional measurements in accordance with the main technical references for the ergonomics of thermal environments, including ISO 7726, ISO 7730, ISO 7243, ISO 9886, ISO 8996 and ISO 11079.

The category includes thermal microclimate and IAQ dataloggers capable of measuring and calculating key indices such as WBGT, PMV, PPD, DR, TU, HI, UTCI, TEP, PHS, IREQ, DLE, RT and WCI, depending on the connected probes and the selected configuration. These parameters support the assessment of overall comfort, local discomfort, heat stress, cold stress and perceived temperature.

In addition to microclimatic indices, the instruments can integrate environmental and indoor air quality measurements such as temperature, relative humidity, air velocity, atmospheric pressure, CO2, VOC and particulate matter PM1.0, PM2.5 and PM10. This means that the assessment is not limited to thermal comfort alone, but also includes parameters useful for IAQ analysis, HVAC system verification and the study of real occupied indoor conditions.

The HD32.3TC datalogger is a portable solution suitable for field checks and measurement campaigns using a table stand or small tripod. The HD32.3TCA configuration is designed for longer measurement sessions with a stable tripod, cable-connected sensors and a 150 mm globe thermometer. The choice between the two configurations depends on the measurement duration, the required stability and the type of index to be assessed.

The colour touchscreen display allows measured values and calculated indices to be viewed directly, while the internal memory supports long acquisition cycles. Wi-Fi connectivity and data transmission to an FTP server make measurements available remotely. The rechargeable battery provides at least 24 hours of operating autonomy, making the instrument suitable for extended monitoring sessions.

These instruments are particularly useful for environmental comfort assessments, sick building syndrome analysis, checks on heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, measurements in severe hot or cold environments and prevention activities in the workplace.

S.A.M.A. Italia supplies Senseca instruments (ex Delta Ohm) complete with ACCREDIA calibration carried out in the manufacturer’s laboratories, where available for the selected configuration, to ensure reliability, metrological traceability and regulatory compliance in environmental comfort measurements.
