Advances in microsensor and radio technology enable small but smart sensors to be deployed for a wide range of environmental monitoring applications. The low-per node cost allows these wireless networks actuators densely distributed. nodes dense coordinate perform the distributed sensing actuation tasks. Moreover, as described this paper, can also exploit redundancy provided by high density so extend overall system lifetime. large number systems preclude manual configuration, dynamics...

Current climate control systems often rely on building regulation maximum occupancy numbers for maintaining proper temperatures. However, in many situations, there are rooms that used infrequently, and may be heated or cooled needlessly. Having knowledge regarding being able to accurately predict usage patterns allow significant energy-savings by intelligent of the L-HVAC systems. In this paper, we report deployment a wireless camera sensor network collecting data large multi-function...

Heating, cooling and ventilation accounts for 30% energy usage 50% of the electricity in United States. Currently, most modern buildings still condition rooms assuming maximum occupancy rather than actual usage. As a result, are often over-conditioned needlessly. This paper proposes an HVAC control strategy based on prediction real time monitoring via sensor network cameras. shows 20.0% potential savings while maintaining ASHRAE building standards.

Thermal comfort has traditionally been measured solely by temperature. While other methods such as Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) are available for measuring thermal comfort, the parameters required an accurate value overly complicated to obtain and require a great deal of sensory input. This paper proposes bypass cumbersome or simplistic measures bringing humans in loop. By using sensors, we can accurately adjust temperatures improve occupant comfort. We show that occupants more comfortable with...

Buildings account for 40% of US primary energy consumption and 72% electricity. Of this total, 50% the consumed in buildings is used Heating Ventilation Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems. Current HVAC systems only condition based on static schedules; rooms are conditioned regardless occupancy. By conditioning when necessary, greater efficiency can be achieved. This paper describes POEM, a complete closed-loop system optimally controlling actual occupancy levels. POEM comprised multiple parts....

Heating, cooling and ventilation accounts for 35% energy usage in the United States. Currently, most modern buildings still condition rooms assuming maximum occupancy rather than actual usage. As a result, are often over-conditioned needlessly. Thus, order to achieve efficient conditioning, we require knowledge of occupancy.
