Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study focuses on maintaining indoor comfort as a function of home energy management system (HEMS) using sensed data collected networked sensors. HEMS have been diffused to conserve electricity consumption in residential area, but residents prefer to maintain indoor comfort even though taking costs. In order to conserve electricity consumption in the area, maintain indoor comfort is one of key issues. Therefore, this study proposed a function to maintain the indoor comfort according to each residents' preference of warm and cold, which indicated Predicated Mean Vote (PMV) using sensed data. Proposed function has three main parts, one is to sense environmental and physical data for PMV calculation and residents' preference by web-questionnaire, second is to store and analyze sensed data to lead each resident’s preference pattern and select suitable information for both the indoor comfort and energy conservation, and third is to display them using smartphone and collect evaluation.
