The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to the Regents of the University of California to create, evaluate and establish technological foundations for secure and easy to deploy building energy efficiency applications utilizing widespread, low-cost wireless sensors integrated with traditional Building Management Systems (BMS), consumer-sector building components, smartphone devices, and data analytics—and to demonstrate the effectiveness of this foundation on potential applications. Project work would occur within commercial office space in Berkeley, California and dedicated laboratory/office space on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley.
Project activities consist of four main tasks: produce three generations of wireless sensor systems; secure the data communication from the sensors to control systems; integrate the sensor and secure data communications with applications, components, and services; and perform a market validation and assessment of the platform.
