Abstract:
Understanding the energy behavior of a building is critical for efficient building operations and for confirming projected energy savings from implemented retrofits. However, measuring and analyzing all possible energy related points in order to understand the energy behavior of the building can be very cost prohibitive. In addition, the use of ICT for Green Computing is also discussed within this context. This presentation will demonstrate how the use of sensors and IoT is used to identify and quantify the most relevant data points for a meaningful energy analysis. An approach is discussed in placing these sensors subject to the constraints in a live, functioning office building, the challenges and early results from the collection.
