Executive Summary : | Project Summary: HVAC systems are one of the largest consumers of energy in residential and commercial buildings. For this reason, energy efficiency measures targeting HVAC can provide significant savings. However, energy-saving HVAC upgrades should not affect the quality of the indoor climate. Failure to do so can cause discomfort and health problems. In a business environment, this also has a negative impact on productivity. Artificial intelligence is a promising application at HVAC because it can improve both energy efficiency and indoor climatic quality. AI can optimize variables such as airflow, temperature, and humidity to maintain air quality with the lowest possible energy consumption. The state of the building is constantly changing, making it difficult to effectively control the HVAC system. The outside air temperature is constantly changing, affecting the heating or cooling required to maintain the correct room temperature.People are constantly moving in and out of the building, affecting the need for ventilation and temperature control. Building ventilation, heating and cooling requirements are constantly changing. Only intelligent control systems can process all this data in real time and adjust the HVAC system accordingly.Manually controlled HVAC systems cannot achieve the best performance due to different working conditions. Wearable sensors have received a great deal of attention for useful insights into people's performance and health since the introduction of smartphones and other mobile devices. Early efforts in this area focused on mobility and physical sensors that monitor vital signs such as steps, calories burned, and heart rate. The face of wearable devices has changed rapidly in recent years as researchers focus from tracking physical activity to addressing key challenges in healthcare applications such as diabetes treatment and remote monitoring of the elderly. To achieve these goals, researchers have put considerable effort into developing wearable biosensors, which are defined as wearable sensing devices that integrate biological cognitive elements with sensor manipulation. |
