Description
Sensing technologies play an important role in realizing smart, energy-efficient and sustainable buildings. Sensors of different modalities are part of building infrastructures, like lighting, HVAC and surveillance, that are increasingly becoming connected. Data from such multi-modal IoT sensors can be used to realize new and improved building applications using AI approaches involving advanced signal processing and machine learning. In this tutorial, we will cover the following topics: – IoT building applications like lighting/HVAC controls, system monitoring and diagnostics, space management, and location-based services; – Sensor system architectures; – Sensor data analytics and machine learning based sensor data processing techniques.
