Sensor networks for sustainable buildings

This project is closed.

We are developing a sensor network to monitor the lighting and presence in offices and adjust the lighting accordingly. In doing so, we can reduce the energy consumption due to lighting. This project is part of the green free projects 2017-2018. There are currently one GRA and one URA working on this project, and we're looking to add one more team member. Some funding is available for the right candidate.

Qualifications

We are looking for a motivated student to join our team. Interest and ability to work with sensors and electronics hardware (arduino, raspberry pi) are essential.

Project Timeline

The project has started and we anticipate to make the hire as soon as possible.

Duties

- assembly of sensor network
- testing of sensors
- deployment of sensor network
- maintenance of sensors
