SUMMARY:Sensor Networks to Enhance Commercial Building Indoor Environments

DESCRIPTION:The National Research Council Canada has embarked on a multidi
 sciplinary project to leverage sensor network technology to improve commer
 cial building operations.  The main thrusts of this work are development o
 f new air quality sensors\, models to forecast building energy use\, and l
 ocation-aware delivery of indoor environment services.  These thrusts will
  be described briefly.  This will be followed by a detailed description of
  one project that used a variety of techniques to gather data related to t
 otal occupancy of a study building\, and used this information to improve 
 a model to forecast the building power demand.  If building operators have
  a tool that can accurately forecast the energy use of their building seve
 ral hours ahead they can better respond to utility price signals\, and pla
 y a fuller role in the coming Smart Grid.\n
