Dec. 23, 2013: Sensor Technologies Becoming an Integral Part of Buildings
Focusing on Minimizing False Readings and Improving Accuracy Will Quicken Widespread Adoption
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, “Sensors for Energy Efficient Buildings and Building Management,” finds that sensors are gradually becoming an integral part of buildings, allowing the demand-based control of systems such as HVAC and lighting. Equipping buildings with motion and air quality sensors too has become a popular trend in the construction sector in recent times.
“A key factor driving the growth of sensors is the integration of wireless communication techniques in sensors, thereby enabling systems to overcome the challenges posed by wired sensor networks,” said Sumit Kumar Pal, Frost & Sullivan Technical Insights research analyst. “Wireless sensors can be easily fitted into existing infrastructure.”
