Occupancy Estimation In Smart Building Using Hybrid Co2/Light Wireless Sensor Network, Chen Mao, Qian Huang

ASA Multidisciplinary Research Symposium

Smart building, which delivers useful services to residents at lowest cost and maximum comfort, has gained increasing attention in recent years. A variety of emerging information technologies have been adopted in modern buildings, such as wireless sensor networks, internet of things, big data analytics, deep machine learning, etc. Most people agree that a smart building should be energy efficient, and consequently, much more affordable to building owners. Building operation accounts for major portion of energy consumption in the United States. HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air conditioning) equipment is a particularly expensive and energy consuming of building operation. As a result, …
