The University of North Carolina at Charlotte received a $100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) to develop an energy conservation network software that simultaneously audits, monitors, and manages energy use in buildings in real-time. The software aims to improve energy management of commercial buildings through three main functions: an auditing functionality using pattern recognition to determine anomalies and recommend equipment replacements; a management functionality based on an advanced building thermal dynamics model to predict temperatures and optimal setpoints; and a monitoring functionality employing smart sensors in a configurable mesh design to provide real-time device-level and aggregated equipment data monitoring. The award period is from June 15, 2022 through May 31, 2023.
