Sensor-based Framework for Improved Air Conditioning Under Diverse Temperature Layout
2020
Due to advances in technology for better output/production, there has been an increased demand for technology with optimized resource utilization in order to conserve resources. Advancements in sensors have improved resource optimization in many fields such as electric power consumption, water management and quality management. In this regard, air conditioner (AC) management is an important aspect of electric power consumption. In this paper, we address the issue of reducing power consumption for air conditioning of a given room. In previous works, the whole room is maintained at a fixed required temperature by inherently assuming that all of the users prefer the same temperature; this is generally not true in practice. In this paper, we propose a sensor-based framework to place and manage ACs for maintaining diverse temperature zones in a given layout to reduce power consumption. Through a simulation study, we demonstrate that the proposed framework indeed has the potential to reduce power consumption significantly as compared to the naive approach by achieving user satisfaction.
