Description Experimental thesis aimed to test and integrate IoT decentralised sensors for the continuous monitoring of building envelope performance (thermal and daylight mainly).
This work is particularly important to enable the implementation and use of intelligent and smart systems in buildings (such as adaptive and dynamic facades).
It will start with a literature survey and market study, to (i) understand type of sensors needed (adopted in outdoor test cells, living labs and real building) to monitor performance of building envelope, and their use; (ii) identify state of the art monitoring architectures; (iii) identify and evaluate low cost IoT monitoring architecture and sensors.
Parallel to this the student will develop knowledge about calibration of specific sensors and use of monitoring systems and apparatuses.
The work will follow up by continuing the on-going development of a current IoT data management infrastructure, developed in collaboration with DAUIN, to include micro-services (such as post-processing capabilities, visualisation and data integration with digital twins), and to explore ontology-based architectures.
Required skills Willingness and attitude for literature review and field work (including the use and programming of sensors and monitoring systems); Excellent Excel skills; Advanced programming skills (i.e. Python or Matlab and others); IoT systems knowledge; IT networks.
