Better Utilizing Human Intelligence For Energy Efficiency In Buildings
When attempting to increase energy efficiency in buildings, the single most influential change you can make is to the behavior of the user. This is not about changing behaviors that will cause discomfort or inconvenience, huge gains can be made by simply making people aware of the energy they waste. There is no need to […]
Walmart’s Shopping Carts & The Future of Occupancy Tracking in Retail
Retail giant Walmart recently filed a patent application mundanely titled “System And Method For A Biometric Feedback Cart Handle.” The technology is essentially a shopping cart handle that can track the heart rate, temperature, stress level and other biological characteristics of shoppers as they grip the handle of their cart when moving around a store. […]
Microsoft’s Azure Digital Twins Platform Could Disrupt Cloud Computing for the Building IoT

Keeping Up with the Data Demands of the Millennial Generation’s Smart Buildings
Since the beginning of human history, every generation of people has been defined by their buildings. From caves to mud huts, stone to brick houses, to steel and concrete houses, the places we live work and play have continually evolved to cater better for our demands. Today’s emerging generation, the millennial generation, demands connectivity, flexibility, […]
A New Layered & Probabilistic Approach To Occupancy Sensing
“Occupant presence and behavior in buildings is considered a key element towards building intelligent and pervasive environments. Yet, practical applications of energy intelligent buildings typically suffer from high sensor unreliability,” highlights a recent paper that proposes a fundamentally new way of inferring occupancy in smart buildings. The study has been able to demonstrate an additional […]
Can Office Lighting Really Make You More Productive?
The right type of office light can make you more productive. This is a concept we’ve been hearing more and more in recent years, albeit mainly from lighting vendors and those promoting their smart buildings that feature “human-centric” lighting.
