What We Studied
This paper introduces COMFORT-SENSE, an IoT-enabled smart desk hub that allows personalized environmental control for occupants while generating climate intelligence data for energy-efficient building operations. By integrating desk-level fans, lighting, and multi-sensor feedback with centralized HVAC, the system advances occupant-centric control strategies.
- Enables desk-level comfort control through a custom IoT device
- Collects real-time environmental and occupancy data.
- Provides a scalable framework for data-driven building energy management.
Key Takeaways
- Enhances both thermal and visual comfort at the desk level.
- Feeds into Model Predictive Control (MPC) for building HVAC optimization.
- Demonstrates a practical pathway for people-centered smart buildings.
