Window on Williams: Jeannie Albrecht: Detecting and Predicting Occupancy in a Smart Home
The first talk in 2014's Faculty Lecture Series at Williams. Associate Professor of Computer Science will be presented by Jeannie Albrecht summarizes a project called Smart, which aims to optimize energy consumption in homes. Albrecht and her research team designed and installed a system that continuously gathers environmental and operational data in three homes, including Albrecht's. The data collected includes many important aspects of the home environment, such as average household electricity usage per second; usage at every circuit and plug load; electricity generation data from on-site solar panels and wind turbines; outdoor weather data; temperature and humidity data from indoor rooms; and data for wall switches, doors, and motion sensors.
