Environmental Monitoring Solutions Help Businesses Cut Costs During A Recession

Sanford, ME - With the economy in a recession, business owners are looking for ways to save money to run more sustainable businesses. Ravica offers environmental monitoring solutions that make that possible by enabling businesses to monitor environmental conditions, such as temperature variations, so they can find ways to save on their utility costs.

"Sensors like smoke detectors and motion detectors play an obvious role in the security of a business," says Ravica's Marketing and Public Relations Manager, Jon Mills. "What's often less obvious is their potential to help business owners save money. By monitoring the environment in the workplace, businesses can track trends in anything from temperature changes to air flow in an effort to optimize conditions and settings for greater efficiency and reduced spending."

Ravica offers a variety of sensors to monitor both environmental conditions and security issues for businesses. Sensors that can be used to help business owners plan and control utility spending include:

Temperature Sensors – These sensors can be used with the built-in SensorProbe graph option which allows businesses to graph temperature variations over limited or extended periods of time.

Owners can use that data to determine when to increase and lower thermostat settings for various areas of the business (offices, storage areas, warehouses, etc.), to more efficiently heat and cool those areas without excessive costs.

Water Sensors – Water sensors measure a business' water resistance, and monitor for leaks and flooding. Even minor water leaks can become a large cost if left unchecked.

Ravica offers a variety of SensorProbes, which are compatible with their intelligent sensor options. Sensors are available to monitor a wide range of environmental and security issues including temperature, water resistance, humidity, security, airflow, power, motion, smoke, and more.
