A wireless sensor network design tool to support building energy management

Published:03 November 2009Publication History

ABSTRACT

The physical location of sensor nodes strongly influences the performance of the network from the perspective of accurate data sensing and reliable communication. Therefore deployment planning can be regarded as an essential stepping stone to producing a viable network infrastructure. The research presented in this paper aims to assist the deployment of a Building Management System relying on wireless sensors and actuators. This is accomplished by the development of a WSN design and optimization software tool to support designers and system integrators when undertaking the difficult task of WSN deployment for building energy management.
