A zigbee-based building energy and environment monitoring system integrated with campus GIS

Abstract

In this paper, the design and development of a Building Energy and Environment Monitoring System (BEEMS) for smart campus applications is proposed. The system is implemented based on distributed sensor nodes using ZigBee technology, which empowers the collection and monitoring of various types of measurements that reflect the energy consumption and environmental status of buildings. These parameters include temperature, humidity, air velocity, sound, bubble globe temperature, TVOC, CO2 concentration, air quality level, et al. The application software system is developed using jQuery-based Ajax general interactive architecture, and further integrated with campus GIS, which offers rich analysis and report functions for monitoring both energy consumption and environment parameters. © 2014 SERSC.
