BEMS (Building Energy Management System) and BACS Automation Control make available a high quantity of data on consumptions, indoor outdoor conditions users' profiles buildind that can drive the choice energy retrofit interventions. Moreover, current developments in digitalization building process, are leading diffusion BIM methods tools which provide valid support to manage all information for...

Emerging wireless sensor networks (WSN) technology offers a great potential in supporting current project management practices. Deploying wireless sensor networks on construction sites can lead to significant time and cost savings by providing accurate and near-real-time data to project management personnel. Continuous monitoring of labor usage, materials placement and equipment performance pro...

A fully automated instrument combining a continuous wave cavity ring-down spectrometer and dual-trap sample preconcentration has been implemented for monitoring C2H2 mixing ratios in ambient air. A distributed feedback diode laser operating in the near-infrared region (lambda approximately 1534.973 nm in air) detects C2H2 in absorption via the P(17) rotational line of the (v1 + v3) vibrational ...

On the ever-rising urgency of global food security, efforts are required to develop a robust farming technique. This includes capability in non-agricultural land or indoor spaces. Farming air medium, i.e., aeroponic, has persistently stepped as viable solution. Aeroponic allows efficient water usage while preventing soil related diseases and pests. With assistance light emitting diodes (LEDs) p...

Internet of things (IoT)-enabled systems are being used to monitor, control, and optimize agricultural like hydroponics. Optimization these requires monitoring various growth factors for plants which will also require multiple sensors. With the number wireless sensors needed track conditions hydroponics system, sensor network grow in size complexity. In this paper, a hybrid IoT-based with both ...

Bio-aerosols are airborne particles that are living (bacteria, viruses and fungi) or originate from living organisms. Their presence in air is the result of dispersal from a site of colonization or growth. The health effects of bio-aerosols including infectious diseases, acute toxic effects, allergies and cancer coupled with the threat of bioterrorism and SARS have led to increased awareness on...
