House 3, Cedar Row Nursery. A fictional site and report, written as a sample file.
Inspector:
Date:
Roof vents open and close on command
Heater serviced this season
House 3 holds three benches of tomato seedlings under a gabled glass roof. The inspection checks that the roof vents, the heater and the two climate sensors keep the house between 16 and 27 degrees Celsius.
Sensor A sits above the middle bench and sensor B near the door. Readings for the week are on page 2; actions are on page 3.
The full sensor log is attached to this PDF as a CSV file, and the technician's notes are pinned to page 3.

Sensor A, logged every 10 minutes. Daily minimum and maximum air temperature, mean relative humidity and hours with the roof vents open.
Daily maximum, °C
| Day | Min °C | Max °C | Humidity % | Vents open (h) |
| Tue 21 Oct | 14.8 | 26.1 | 71 | 5.5 |
| Wed 22 Oct | 15.2 | 27.4 | 68 | 6.0 |

The house went over the 27 °C limit on two days, Wednesday and Friday. On both days the vents opened later than the controller schedule says.
1. Move sensor B away from the door, where drafts lower its readings.
2. Reset the vent controller to open at 24 °C instead of 26 °C.
3. Service the heater before the first frost and record the date here.
