Project Proposal No. 4: Design and construction of an information point for buildings
energy efficiency purposes.
Introduction: The objective is to design a device at the entrance buildings that indicates
the energy consumption and its temporal analysis. It is a useful tool to show
transparency to the user. It allows to justify the energy improvement actions that are
not usually shown, and specially will help the energy manager of the building to control
the energy systems.
Project Brief: The project has different parts and has to be carried out by an
interdisciplinary working group:
- Design of the information point. The device should be made of recycled material
and with low environmental impact.
- Program the software for the touchscreen and design of the implementation
interface with the user.
- Select and install sensors in the building and design of the communication
protocol to connect them to the computer.
- Economical study and market possibilities of the designed prototype.
The Outcome of the project is to build a prototype of information point with a
touch screen. Which shows energy data from the school building in real time.
