Environmental Monitoring Using Comfort Sensing System

Development of Smart Detachable Wireless Sensing System for Environmental Monitoring

We present the work on development of Smart Detachable Wireless Sensing System for environment monitoring (SDWSS) complying with the IEEE 1451 standard. Barometric and alcohol two different detachable smart sensor have been developed by incorporating generic transducer, customized peripheral interface controller (PIC) 18LF2550 microcontroller and with other peripherals. Detachable smart transdu...

Remote Sensing and Environmental Monitoring

Remotely sensed data have two significant characteristics. Firstly, they are available in digital form, which allows them to be manipulated by computer. Secondly, they provide a range of information derived from observations made using electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with wavelengths ranging from those of the visible wavebands (0.4–0.7 μm) to the microwave region (3–30 cm). Modulation of incomi...

Sensing Occupant Comfort using Wearable Technologies

Thermal comfort of building occupants is a major criterion in evaluating the performance of building systems. It is also a dominant factor in designing and optimizing building’s operation. However, existing thermal comfort models, such as Finger’s model currently adopted by ASHRAE Standard 55, rely on factors that require bulky and expensive equipment to measure. This paper attempts to take a r...

Monitoring Urban Growth and Its Environmental Impacts Using Remote Sensing

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Remote Sensing Approach

Environmental monitoring and assessment includes a wide spectrum of study that overlaps many disciplines, all of which are independent. This paper illustrates several broad subjects related to environmental constraints including water pollution, effects of atmospheric contamination, strip mining, and natural disasters. Remote sensing can provide complementary information to existing ground-base...
