Seminar 63 -- Facilitating the Operation of Smart Buildings through Instrumentation, Monitoring and Data PDF

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

In recent years, an increasing number of technologies have become available that support the detailed monitoring of the performance (energy, thermal, lighting, IAQ/IEQ, etc.) of buildings, as well as the ability of buildings to interact with the electric grid. These technologies, including sensor systems, metering infrastructure and their associated data, increase the ability of buildings to flexibly and intelligently operate. This seminar focuses on an overview of current technologies, followed by a case study where technologies are used in an occupied building, and finally a presentation discussing common challenges in the intelligent use of the resulting data from such systems.
