Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project focuses on the technology to realize low-cost management of lighting and air-conditioning in rooms leveraging mobile sensing devices. Sensing indoor temperature, humidity and behavior of residents in the rooms is used to estimate their comfort levels. The sensed data is aggregated at a cloud server to do such estimation and management.
