Modern smart phones are becoming helpful in the areas of Internet-Of-Things (IoT) and ambient health intelligence. By learning data from several mobile sensors, we detect nearness of the human body to a mobile device in a three-dimensional…
This paper describes a step-by-step procedure that converts a physical model of a building into a Markov Process that characterizes energy consumption of this and other similar buildings. Relative to existing thermo-physics-based building…
Improving the energy-efficiency of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems has the potential to realize large economic and societal benefits. This paper concerns the system identification of a hybrid system model of a…
Thermal comfort inside buildings is a well-studied field where human judgment for thermal comfort is collected and may be used for automatic thermal comfort estimation. However, indoor scenarios are rather static in terms of thermal state…
A significant part of CO2 emissions is due to high electricity consumption in residential buildings. Using load shifting can help to improve the households' energy efficiency. To nudge changes in energy consumption behavior, simple but…
For effective integration of building operations into the evolving demand response programs of the power grid, real-time decisions concerning the use of building appliances for grid services must excel on multiple criteria, ranging from the…
HVAC systems account for a significant portion of building energy use. Nighttime setback scheduling is an energy conservation measure where cooling and heating setpoints are increased and decreased respectively during unoccupied periods…
We present a new method to capture the acoustic characteristics of real-world rooms using commodity devices, and use the captured characteristics to generate similar sounding sources with virtual models. Given the captured audio and an…
As the French, European and worldwide populations are aging, there is a strong interest for new systems that guarantee a reliable and privacy preserving home monitoring for frailty prevention. This work is a part of a global environmental…
Air quality monitoring in automotive workshops is crucial for occupational health and regulatory compliance. This study presents the development of an environmental monitoring system based on Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial…
This paper addresses the design and implementation of a smart building prototype. The implementation utilizes Internet of Things (IoT) solutions to collect, analyze, and manage data from building systems in a smart city environment. The…
Accurate people counting in smart buildings and intelligent transportation systems is crucial for energy management, safety protocols, and resource allocation. This is especially critical during emergencies, where precise occupant counts…
In this paper, we address energy management for heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems in buildings, and present a novel combined optimization and control approach. We first formulate a thermal dynamics and an associated…
Increases in energy prices and the global goal of mitigating CO2 emissions necessitate the development of intelligent Building Management Systems (BMS) that operate on an energy-efficient basis. Data Centers, buildings and/or group of…
While our world is filled with its own natural sounds that we can't resist enjoying, it is also chock-full of other sounds that can be irritating, this is noise. Noise not only influences the working efficiency but also the human's health.…
Acoustic room compensation techniques, which allow a sound reproduction system to counteract undesired alteration to the sound scene due to excessive room resonances, have been widely studied. Extensive efforts have been reported to enlarge…
The materials of surfaces in a room play an important room in shaping the auditory experience within them. Different materials absorb energy at different levels. The level of absorption also varies across frequencies. This paper…
Joint, radio-based communication, localization and sensing is a rapidly emerging research field with various application potentials. Greatly benefiting from these capabilities, smart city, mobility, and logistic concepts are key components…
One of the core challenges in open-plan workspaces is to ensure a good level of concentration for the workers while performing their tasks. Hence, being able to infer concentration levels of workers will allow building designers, managers,…
Modern manufacturing is now deeply integrating new technologies such as 5G, Internet-of-things (IoT), and cloud/edge computing to shape manufacturing to a new level -- Smart Factory. Autonomic anomaly detection (e.g., malfunctioning…
