A smart city is a that binds together technology, society, and government to enable the existence of economy, mobility, environment, living, people, governance in order reduce environmental impact cities improve life quality. The first step achieve fully connected start with smaller modules such as homes buildings energy management systems. Buildings are responsible for third total consumption; moreover, heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) systems account more than half residential...
Thermostats control heating and cooling in homes - representing a major part of domestic energy use yet, poor ergonomics these devices has thwarted efforts to reduce consumption. Theoretically, programmable thermostats can by 5-15%, but practice little no savings compared manual are found. Several studies have found that not installed properly, generally misunderstood usability. After conducting usability study thermostats, we reviewed several guidelines from ergonomics, general device...
Thermal comfort is associated with clothing insulation, conveying a level of satisfaction the thermal surroundings. Besides, insulation commonly indoor comfort. However, classification in smart homes might save energy when end-user wears appropriate clothes to and obtain Furthermore, object detection through Convolutional Neural Networks has increased over last decade. There are real-time garment classifiers, but these oriented towards single recognition for texture, fabric, shape, or style....
Indoor air movement affects many functions of buildings, including ventilation and quality, comfort health occupants, fire safety, building energy use. Accurate measurement has been difficult expensive over the extended periods time, especially for velocities below 1 m/s. A new type high frequency ultrasonic transceiver provides sensitivity measurements low cost through microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) manufacturing. However, at frequencies, conventional signal processing algorithms...
Controlled air movement is an effective strategy for maintaining occupant comfort while reducing energy consumption, since at moderately warmer temperatures requires less space cooling. Modern ceiling fans provide a 2–4 °C cooling effect power consumption comparable to LED lightbulbs (2–30 W) with gentle speeds (0.5–1 m/s). However, very limited design guidance and performance data are available using conditioning together, especially in commercial buildings. We present results from 29-month...
Nowadays, the growth in consumption of energy and need to face pollution resulting from its generation are causing concern for consumers providers. Energy residential buildings houses is about 22% total production. Cutting-edge managers aim optimize electrical devices homes, taking into account users’ patterns, goals, needs, by creating awareness helping current change habits. In this way, manager systems (EMSs) monitor manage appliances, automate schedule actions, make suggestions regarding...
Access to large amounts of real-world data has long been a barrier the development and evaluation analytics applications for built environment. Open datasets exist, but they are limited in their span (how much is available) context (what kind available how it described). Evaluation such also by themselves implemented, often using hard-coded names building components, points locations, or unique input formats. To advance methodology implemented evaluated, we present Mortar: an open testbed...
Since Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning, Digital Systems, Control Systems were incorporated in product design, a new designing technology era raised up so the conventional methods for developing products could not be valid anymore since they do include social features that allow interacting with consumers and other products. Sometimes, are extremely limited communication between to products, primary system is interface, but typically, this interface designed as element. As result,...
In 2021, the residential sector had an electricity consumption of around 39% in México. Householders influence quantity energy they manage a home due to their preferences, culture, and economy. Hence, profiling householders’ behavior communities allows designers or engineers build strategies that promote reductions. The household socially connected products ease routine tasks help profile householder. Furthermore, gamification model habits by enhancing services through ludic experiences....
The users' behavior in a house impacts the amount of electrical energy consumption products household; therefore, can be optimized by using sense, smart and sustainable (S <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sup> ) as Social Products (SPs) for saving housing. SPs communicate between devices consumers through game design elements known gamification that yield behavioral changes users. Furthermore, models shape human to motivate...
