Sensors are critical enabling devices for building control, operation and performance measurement. It is well-recognized that the cost of sensor and sensor system has been a major market barrier for smart grid-interactive efficient building (GEB) technologies. This seminar introduces several novel low cost sensing technology development that are sponsored by DOE, ARPA-E and EU research projects. These technologies have the potential to significantly reduce the overall sensor system cost; to accelerate the integration of buildings and power grid; and to enable smart building control and operation for improved energy efficiency and
indoor environment.
