Existing airflow sensors are expensive, fragile and difficult to use. The UC Berkeley Center for the Built Environment has developed a prototype of an inexpensive airflow sensor based on MEMS technologies originally developed for 3D range finding. The current sensor is based on a highly custom PCB design. We would...

The aim of the project is to develop a web-interactive tool that converts a user’s 15-minute data (i.e. Green Button Data upload or API request) into actual grid carbon emissions (i.e. using Watttime’s API). The tool will have data visualizations that display user’s electricity data and carbon emissions...

In 2002, The Center for the Built Environment (CBE) developed a web-based survey to gather feedback from building occupants about their indoor environmental quality. Since then, it has been used in over 1,000 buildings worldwide with responses from more than 100,000 people. Although originally created for research purposes, the...

Our group studies thermal comfort and heat stress in our environmental test chamber and in real buildings. We sometimes measure heart rate data using an off-the-shelf sensor (Polar H10). However, the available data collection systems do not work well for our purposes as they target athletes rather than...
