The overarching goal of the SCEL is to gather, process, analyze and make decisions about energy and environmental data on the UH Manoa campus. This involves building sensor networks to get environmental, building energy, and electric grid data. We are also analyzing and modeling the data and then making decisions by performing demand response algorithms to control loads using optimization and control theory. The main current project is to build an environmental sensor network that monitors and relays reliable weather data that is durable and long lasting. This includes designing a low power consumption sensor module that communicates in a mesh-network configuration and is self powered using a solar panel and rechargeable battery; deploying the sensor modules on building roofs in the UH Manoa campus; collecting data in real time and storing it in a data base; analyzing and visualizing the data in real time; and distributing the data to the public for educational and research purposes.
