1. Smart Buildings and Smart Energy CITRIS Kickoff meeting – Sept. 18 2001 J. Rabaey College of Engineering, University of California at Berkeley

2. Smart Buildings Integrated network of sensor, control, and actuator nodes Improves quality-of-living Saves energy Saves energy Provides security Provides security Helps localizing items Helps localizing items Extends building-human interface Extends building-human interface

3. A Proof-of-Concept A 6 month demonstrator  Easy:   Fully instrument a number of buildings on campus with networked light and temperature sensors in every room, and make the data available on a centralized web-site.  Medium: –  Make a wireless power monitor with a standard 3-prong feedthrough receptacle so that people can monitor power consumption of electronic devices as a function of time. Provide roughly one thousand such devices for rotating use around the campus to educate, chart usage, verify compliance, real-time display of consumption in a given room or lab. The impact of these simple metering devices could be tremendous. –  Similar device, but passively coupled to high-power wiring to monitor total power consumption through breaker boxes. This would give us a much finer granularity of power-consumption details, and let us look at clusters of rooms, floors, etc. –  Fully instrument the campus network  Hard: –  Real-time monitoring and control of hundreds of power systems on campus. Enforce compliance with load reduction. Charge/reward departments according to their use during peak times. Leaders: Pister, Culler, Trent, Sastry, Rabaey

5. Questions for today what are our resources, and how can we get more –SmartDust, SensorWeb, PicoRadio, DARPA, NSF, ITR, need other ones who are the players, what are our strengths what can we safely promise in terms of deliverables over the next year and beyond –Testbed? How to kick-start and structure the research program –Meetings, brainstorming sessions, web-pages, information database??

6. The Process Set of focus workshops (to bridge into the existing efforts at the application layers – building industry, energy industry, etc) Set of brainstorming sessions to architect system Evolutionary testbed –4 th floor of Cory Hall / 6 th floor of Soda –Use virtual model of new buildings for analysis and experimentation –The new network center in Cory Hall (coming on board (fall 2002) – share with other application areas (disaster management) –Immersion in developed technology Work with other interested parties –LBL, CBE, etc

7. Challenges/Opportunities Bridging between applications and emerging technologies –Intelligence in closing the loop Opportunities: –Instantaneous, ubiquitous, distributed –Joint sensoring –User interface Energy component: dynamically matching supply and demand –Role of distributed generation –Dealing with outages Infrastructure as a dynamic enabler –Varying needs over time; energy/HVAC/QOL

8. Participation/extension needs Existing efforts at the application level Bringing social impact into the picture (The Xerox privacy issue) Intelligent risk management Flow through to residential environments

9. Potential Resources DOE DARPA (Immune Buildings) State funding for staff support of deployment/deployed networks
