Monitoring is one of the key points in any retrofitting project because, thanks to its results, both the current and improved status can be analysed. Within this context, not only monitoring is important, but also consistency and coherency of data, as well as aggregated information is required. In that sense, surveillance methods and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) play a pivotal role. Thus, the...
With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, people's life has undergone great changes. In recent years, the comfort and safety of the building environment have become a universal concern. However, building fire is the greatest threat to building safety. In consideration of the current issues on building security, the design applies the important part, the wireless sensor network...
Monitoring systems are one of the pivotal diagnosis tools for the analysis of the energy performance in buildings. They provide on-site information and support the decision making process. Moreover, monitoring systems allow the calculation of energy and comfort indicators, despite, large buildings do not provide a single sensor network. So, with the aim of integrating multiple monitoring systems to...
With reference to the current domestic advanced computer monitoring system of wind power plants, the design uses force control configuration software and a wind power farm as the model to develop a monitoring system for wind power farms. Tests show that this system can realize the unattended wind power farms, increase the efficiency of power generation, and ensure the security and stability of the...
This paper proposes the idea of a wireless sensor network with applicability in monitoring systems. The goal of the project is to build a monitoring system capable of data gathering which can benefit from both characteristics of fixed and mobile nodes. The flexibility offered by the mobile nodes increases the performance of the entire data acquisition system.
Rainwater utilization by means of pipe-bound systems in private households, public buildings and industry, which is spring up at Germany in ninety years last century. The idea was to save valuable drinking water and not to use it for flushing toilets etc but to substitute it by collected rainwater. This paper describes a model rainwater collect system that has been constructed within a residential...
Pervasive computing will fundamentally change the way people interact with computers. By observing our actions on an unprecedented scale, the technology will enable new services and applications without the need for direct interaction from the user. However, research has shown that excessive levels of monitoring/data collection can cause undesirable effects on users. Researchers have begun to study...
In order to solve the serious problem of high energy consumption in large public buildings and government office buildings, this paper develops the monitoring system of building energy consumption (MSBEC), which could monitor not only energy consumption data, but also energy quality. Firstly, this paper designs the hardware subsystem with three-layer structure. At the information center layer, four...
This paper proposed a technique for integration of 3S (GIS, RS and GPS) in urban real estate dynamic monitoring within a mobile environment. The framework of the technique includes two major parts: one is the change detection of buildings from high resolution satellite images, the other one is the dynamic monitoring based on 3S integration within a mobile GIS environment. The processing methods of...
An elevator system consists of an elevator group control system (EGCS) and a micro-processed sub-system that implements a local control system (LCS) for each elevator. This paper describes the validation of five dispatching algorithms for an elevator system that was implemented on Spartan 3 FGPA based boards in an integrated approach. The focus was on area reduction and performance improvement. The...
Most PV installations in Malaysia so far are standalone systems. Grid-connected PV started with some test installations recently. The "prototype solar house" located near Kuala Lumpur was built in 2002 as part of an Industry Research and Development Grant Scheme (IGS) project. It is unique, since in a typical residential house 3 different grid-connected roof installation with different PV...
