Project Summary
Within the international context of saving natural and energetic resources, supported by national laws such as law 199/2000 regarding the efficient use of energy, this project proposes to develop a new intelligent system, based on distributed measurement systems, intended at saving the resources consumed in buildings, considering each buildings usage specificity. The concept is based on new trends in environmental design, namely the concepts of e-building and environmental intelligence. As a technical achievement, the system would have three main components: a data acquisition component, a storage, processing and presentation component and a command and control component. Data acquisition module will be based on distributed measurement systems which use wireless sensory networks. As advantage, the system will have a high reliability in operation, and displacement of nodes, not requiring cabling, will lead to low implementation and maintenance costs. The storage, processing and presentation component will retrieve information from the nodes, which once stored, will be the a training base for the control system. The command and control module will be composed of a series of hardware and software components that will analyze the information in the storage component and will create a user profile containing resource consumption habits. After creating the user profile, this module will command the systems consuming resources towards efficiency. In conclusion, the presented system will respond to the market trends demanding savings of resources, but also maintain a high level of user comfort.
