A Smart Internet Of Things (Iot) Prototype For Accurate People Counting Towards Energy Efficient Buildings, Qian Huang, Kane Rodriguez, Chao Lu Nov 2017

A Smart Internet Of Things (Iot) Prototype For Accurate People Counting Towards Energy Efficient Buildings, Qian Huang, Kane Rodriguez, Chao Lu

ASA Multidisciplinary Research Symposium

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 30% of the energy used in commercial buildings is wasted. If the number of humans in each pre-determined thermal zone is aware, a building automation system (BAS) is able to intelligently adjust HVAC operation for each thermal zone to provide “just-enough” heating, cooling and ventilation to building users. Therefore, a people counting device that can be widely deployed with low price and failure rate, small form-factor, good usability, and conserved user privacy is highly desirable. Existing room occupancy detection sensors (e.g., passive infrared, camera, acoustic, RFID, CO2) cannot meet all these …
