Abstract Building Energy Management is identified as a key part of the move towards
localised energy generation and control. The significant discrepancy between building …

Objective: To provide an overview of the state of research concerning smart technologies
that support independent living in buildings, as well as a deeper literature review of the …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review the use of technologies for measuring space
occupancy to guide the selection of appropriate tools for workplace post-occupancy …

It is significant to detect the occupancy of indoor environment from the view of saving energy.
In addition, occupied situation detection can help control the density of people in room to …

In this article, we show that the dielectric constant of lead-free ferroelectric ceramics based
on the solid solution (1-x)(Bi 0.5 Na 0.5) TiO 3-x BaTiO 3, with compositions at or near the …

Electromechanical Film (EMFi) is an electroactive ferroelectret polymer film with a special
cellular structure. Sensitivity distribution maps of EMFi sensors were measured in this paper …

The objective of this study is to provide an overview of current developments in monitoring
technologies in buildings equipped with ambient assisted living technologies, as well as a …

Occupancy detection in customary resting places of people living alone at home is a main
issue in Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) systems. Typical occupancy sensors are based on …

In this article we show that the dielectric constant of lead-free ferroelectric ceramics based
on the solid solution (1-x)(Bi0. 5Na0. 5) TiO3-xBaTiO3, with compositions at or near the …

The need for greater independence amongst the growing population of elderly people has
made the concept of “ageing in place” an important area of research. Remote home …
