With the age of smart infrastructure, buildings today are getting smarter and smarter, more adaptive in nature. All of this is centered on smart sensors, which are crucial to the automation of processes, efficient use of energy, and increased comfort of occupants. From the monitoring of temperature and humidity fluctuations to monitoring occupation and air quality, smart sensors are transforming the way buildings function.
This article discusses the forms, roles, advantages, and future directions of smart sensors in building automation systems. Learn more
In July, ASHRAE is offering courses on controlling humidity in commercial buildings. Excess humidity and moisture promote mold, mildew, and uncomfortable conditions for occupants. Learn what equipment is used for this purpose, how it works, and how to apply it quickly, economically, and reliably.
In August, check out new and updated courses on decarbonization. These advanced courses are for professional engineers and architects who want to expand their practice to include the design, construction, and operation of zero-energy (net-zero) buildings. You’ll also get the opportunity to learn about introducing the building design and management professions to the relationships between buildings and the electric grid through the lens of microgrid design.
