Sense it
This project main purpose is to reduce buildings energy consumption by using wireless sensor technology.
This project main purpose is to reduce buildings energy consumption by using wireless sensor technology. During the project a wireless sensor and data system will be developed and demonstrated and can be used by head of operations, engineers, energy advisors and researchers for control, visualising and optimising the energy consumption and indoor climate in buildings. The system can be used both in short-term investigations of indoor climate and long-term supervision of the operational conditions and energi consumption in new and existing buildings. The system can also be used in buildings with surveillance systems (CTS) due to the system independence of installations and can support with measurement of parameters that normally are not registred. In relation to the many renovation projects that will be initiated in the followering years the system provides the owner good opportunities to check that the product his paid for is delivered, and can for example influence whether or not started up a ESCO-project.
The project main result is a standard measurement tool with 7-8 sensors for control and optimising the building energy consumption and indoor climate.
Sense-It is a measurement system that allows new sensors to be easily combined with a generic datalogger. The system collects data in a configurable interval and transmits them to an IOS device. The IOS device allows easy configuring and sharing through E-Mail. From here the data can be imported into spreadsheets, databases and automated processing systems.
The system can out of the box be delivered with CO2, Temperature, rH, Lux, Watt and person counters.
Sense-It can with a software modification be adapted to practically all sensors. Another opportunity is to validate new business models with Sense-It. The open interface can be used to prototype new systems. If a potential business opportunity is verified it will be possible to branch out a new specialised system from the generic Sense-It.
