Technical Report - the key outlines
Here's a quick outline of the key aspects of my technical report: 1. Problem statement An ideal BMS would be able to reduce HVAC consumption by adapting to the return and outdoor air temperature and improving the thermal comfort of the occupants and saving costs. However, the air conditioning systems in many current buildings are not able to adapt to the unpredictable weather and room temperature. This leads to high consumption of electricity. By implementing building management system, the return air temperature, flowrate, and humidity data can be used to modulate airflow and air temperature to attain thermal comfort and cost savings. 2 Problem solution Through surveys, site visits and observation from the team, it is understood that the temperature of several seminar rooms falls below the typical human comfort levels during rainy days. Due to overcooling of the rooms, excessive energy was consumed. To improve the thermal comfort of the building occupants in SIT@Dover’s campus, th...
