Today’s buildings are adding building intelligence for energy and system efficiency through wireless sensor nodes. Wireless sensor nodes are allowing more intelligence regarding energy and system efficiency in today’s buildings. These sensor nodes must maintain a long battery life up to 10 years while constantly monitoring key parameters. Battery requirements and energy harvesting for wireless sensor nodes in building automation systems will be a key topic of this webinar. After understanding battery requirements, we will dive into system efficiency ranging from comfort control to air flow control in HVAC systems. Then tying battery efficiency and system efficiency together, we will look at preventing unplanned system downtime through various predictive maintenance techniques.
