چکیده

Wireless indoor environmental monitoring (WIEM) systems are becoming an important tool in the fight to reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency in the built environment. Systems which previously targeted the commercial market are quickly moving into the residential domain with promises of drastic energy reduction. The requirements of a WIEM system, however, vary from application to application and the information generated and presented depends on the needs of the relevant stakeholders. The research showcased here seeks to develop a dynamically reconfigurable WIEM system that is multiapplication and multi-stakeholder focused. HomeReACT incorporates an off-the-shelf wireless mesh network and operates in 3 application modes: event-centric mode allows for the detection and isolation of threshold events, data-centric mode allows for retrieval of current and historical data using parameter-based queries and information-centric mode allows the user to monitor high level, easy to understand information about the deployment. An early system prototype has been used in a number of residential and commercial deployments and will be demonstrated in each of the three modes.

Monitoring Indoor Air Quality to Improve Occupational Health

Indoor environments are characterized by several pollutant sources. As people typically spend more than 90% of their time in indoor environments. Thus, indoor air quality (iAQ) is recognized as an important factor to be controlled for the occupants’ health and comfort. The majority of the monitoring systems presently available is very expensive and only allow to collect random samples. This wor...
