Paper Abstract:
|
This paper presents the design of a low cost device capable of monitor temperature and humidity in indoor environments and estimate the thermal sensation of the environment. Moreover, as thermal comfort may have many other variables to consider, the proposed device also allows people to vote about their subjective thermal comfort. Therefore, combining and analyzing both the data collected by sensors and the votes of the subjective thermal comfort, Air Conditioning Systems technicians can tune it up in order to achieve a reasonable thermal comfort as well as energy efficiency. |
