An IoT Scheme for Energy Efficiency, IAQ with Noise Characterization and Measurement in the Smart Building

Abstract

An environmental stressor such as noise and air pollutants may have detrimental effects on various aspects of health, especially in the built space. The unwanted intensity of a wave is the propagation of noise due to the transmission of energy source waves (viz. physical agents) such as sun, light, sound, heat, electricity, fluid, and fire.

The noise scales/charts are developed from the newly devised noise measurement equations and their units by the author. The objective of this paper is to develop the internet of things (IoT) scheme based on an energy-efficient ventilation system in the smart building targeting energy savings through identifying the unwanted energy intensity. An IoT scheme is developed for noise characterization and energy-efficient ventilation system for integration with existing smart buildings.

Highlights

• An IoT scheme for IAQ, energy efficiency with noise characterization and measurement.
• Energy-efficient ventilation system in the smart building.
• Optimization of noise due to unwanted energy intensity by response surface methodology.
