The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to PARC to develop a low-cost system of peel-and-stick wireless sensors to enable widespread building environment sensor deployment and transform building operations.
The proposed activities would include the design, assembly, and in-lab testing of electronics for wireless power delivery and readout of sensors. Electronics design and assembly, installation and testing of radio frequency (RF) transceivers and sensor nodes, and transfer of data would be completed by PARC from their facility in Palo Alto, CA. Software development would be supported by Energy ETC from their facility in Union City, CA. All research and development activities would take place in existing facilities designed for this type of research; therefore, no modifications or new permits, additional licenses and/or authorizations would be necessary. The project would not require any change in the use, mission, or operation of existing facilities.
