GCU Smart Building Management System

Glasgow Caledonian University developed a smart building management system that continuously monitors sensors controlling environmental parameters like temperature, humidity, air quality, lighting, and occupancy to optimize these parameters and reduce energy usage. The system gathers fine-grained data through wireless sensors and meters to allow more efficient building energy control, lower carbon footprints, and greater energy efficiency. GCU is seeking partners to commercialize the technology which has filed a patent application.

Smart Building Management

System
Sector(s): Electronics, Sensors and Photonics, Energy and Renewables, Environment and Sustainability

About Opportunity
Energy used by domestic and non-domestic buildings accounts for
approximately 30% of UK carbon emissions, so there is significant
opportunity for better management of building energy systems.

Key Benefits
More efficient building energy control

Technological advances mean that innovative wireless sensors and


metering systems can gather fine granularity data on building function
and performance.

Reduced building carbon footprint

Smart sensing and adaptive energy management software can


greatly decrease the energy usage of systems in many building
applications, for example by enabling the operator to shut off HVAC
to unoccupied rooms.

Applications
Domestic building energy management system

Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) has developed a building


management system which continuously monitors sensors responsible
for controlling environmental parameters; room temperature and
humidity, air quality, lighting, room occupancy, power usage etc.
The system is able to optimise these parameters through remote
energy monitoring.

Smart meters

Greater building energy efficiency


Higher levels of occupant comfort
Lower building energy costs

Non-domestic building energy management system


Industrial control system

IP Status
A patent application has been filed to protect the technology and the
University is seeking commercial partners interested in developing,
licensing or exploiting this technology.
