A low cost wireless sensor system for monitoring the Air Handling Unit of the University building

In this work, we propose the development of monitoring system for the Air Handling Unit of a particular building of the University via Zigbee network. The proposed system will provide all the essential information required for the thermal modeling of the building using Dynamic Thermal Simulation. Furthermore, this will allow us to accomplish autonomous building management and also to study the thermal behaviour of the building and their interaction with the external environment.
