Abstract:
New tools and methodologies to reduce the gap between predicted and actual energy performances at the level of buildings and blocks of buildings are in continuous development in academic and industry organizations. The development of Wireless Sensor Networking (WSN) technology plays a core role in this field since their development enables the monitoring and control of application within the building environment. In this paper the development of a low power consumption multiradio and multisensing system to monitor building conditions and enable the interaction of occupants with devices through embedded actuators is described. The device (named NOD) incorporates a 32-bit ARM-Cortex microcontroller, a variety of sensors to monitor the ambient conditions – luminance, temperature, humidity, air quality - and multiple radio interfaces - WiFi/Bluetooth LE/868MHz. The NOD is intended to be used as a desktop device with a dedicated user interface. A description of the system and its features
and functionalities is provided.
