Automated Residential Energy Audits Using A Smart Wifi Thermostat-Enabled Data Mining Approach, Abdulrahman Alanezi, Kevin Hallinan, Kefan Huang

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Publications

Smart WiFi thermostats, when they first reached the market, were touted as a means for achieving substantial heating and cooling energy cost savings. These savings did not materialize until additional features, such as geofencing, were added. Today, average savings from these thermostats of 10–12% in heating and 15% in cooling for a single-family residence have been reported. This research aims to demonstrate additional potential benefit of these thermostats, namely as a potential instrument for conducting virtual energy audits on residences. In this study, archived smart WiFi thermostat measured temperature data in the form of a power spectrum, corresponding historical weather …

The Boomers Are Back!, Keri Kelly

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

“Thank God you’re home,” my oldest daughter said, greeting me at the door. She let out a long yawn and stretched. Behind her, my youngest daughter’s head rested on the kitchen table.

A broad smile filled her bright face. “We ate lunch, we baked cookies, we made a craft, we went for a walk, and we did all of that in between the kids' classes on Zoom.” “Oh wow,” I said. “And you did all …

Marian Library Faculty Publications

As librarians at the University of Dayton’s Marian Library, we help curate a collection of religious artifacts that, depending on how you count it, numbers in the hundreds of thousands. It includes postage stamps, wine labels, books, statues and rosaries. Many of the items are Catholic and have been gifted to the library by charitable individuals looking to do the right thing with a family heirloom or the collection of a recently deceased loved one.
