The dense instrumentation of future smart buildings enables the implementation of advanced control techniques which are aimed at the dual objectives of energy efficiency/cost savings and occupant comfort. One of the essential functions and prerequisite consists of robust dynamic occupancy detection and prediction which allows improved estimation of active thermal zones and internal loads, as compared to static schedule-based approaches. The paper presents the design and preliminary evaluation of a wireless system for embedded monitoring of occupancy states across the thermal zones of the building. The challenges of calibration, detection and prediction algorithms are discussed along with experimental outcomes. The infrared array sensor within the system offers improved detection performance compared to conventional PIR sensors while preserving user privacy in comparison to image processing approaches using security cameras. Several advantages of the proposed solution are also highlighted such as the low cost, flexibility, scalability and integration towards the building-wide automation system. |
