“…Local and distributed assessment of chemical concentrations is significant for safety (e.g., gas spills detection and pollution monitoring) and security applications as well as to control heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems for energy efficiency [6]. In fact, the indoor air quality measured in the manufactured environment gives a consistent stream of data for reliable management of building automation systems and provides a platform for informed decision-making [7]. However, the monitoring systems presently available are normally very expensive and only allow for the collection of random samples.…”

Abstract:The study of systems and architectures for ambient assisted living (AAL) is undoubtedly a topic of great relevance given the aging of the world population. The AAL technologies are designed to meet the needs of the aging population in order to maintain their independence as long as possible. As people typically spend more than 90% of their time in indoor environments, indoor air quality (iAQ) is perceived as an imperative variable to be controlled for the inhabitants' wellbeing and comfort. Advances in networking, sensors, and embedded devices have made it possible to monitor and provide assistance to people in their homes. The continuous technological advancements make it possible to build smart objects with great capabilities for sensing and connecting several possible advancements in ambient assisted living systems architectures. Indoor environments are characterized by several pollutant sources. Most of the monitoring frameworks instantly accessible are exceptionally costly and only permit the gathering of arbitrary examples. iAQ is an indoor air quality system based on an Internet of Things paradigm that incorporates in its construction Arduino, ESP8266, and XBee technologies for processing and data transmission and micro sensors for data acquisition. It also allows access to data collected through web access and through a mobile application in real time, and this data can be accessed by doctors in order to support medical diagnostics. Five smaller scale sensors of natural parameters (air temperature, moistness, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and glow) were utilized. Different sensors can be included to check for particular contamination. The results reveal that the system can give a viable indoor air quality appraisal in order to anticipate technical interventions for improving indoor air quality. Indeed indoor air quality might be distinctively contrasted with what is normal for a quality living environment.

“…The rules are listed in Table 1, and are shown as the applied linguistic variables obtained by summing the fuzzification for a response using operator intuition [4]. When connected to the output membership function and the corresponding de-fuzzification, a clear signal to the control action is obtained.…”

The present research paper is devoted to solving an urgent problem, i.e., the energy saving and energy efficiency of buildings. A rapid settlement method and experimental control of the energy conservation based on the specific characteristics of the thermal energy consumption for the heating and ventilation of the buildings, and as well as the rapid development of wireless sensor networks, can be used in a variety of monitoring parameters in our daily lives. Today's world has become quite advanced with smart appliances and devices such as laptops, tablets, TVs, and smartphones with various functions, and their use has increased significantly in our day-to-day lives. In this case, the most important role is played by a wireless sensor network with its development and use in heterogeneous areas and in several different contexts. The fields of home automation, process management, and health management systems make extensive use of wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we explore the main factors of the microclimate in an indoor environment. We control the temperature humidity, and other factors remotely using sensors and Internet-of-Things technologies.

“…Indeed, the local assessment and the chemical concentration distribution is significant for safety and occupant protection contributing to effectively control the temperature, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) in order to increase energy efficiency (De Vito, S Et al., 2011). In fact, the measurement of indoor air quality in buildings provides a continuous flow of information for continuous control and could also allowing the construction of automation systems and decision support platforms (Preethichandra, D, 2013). However, the currently available monitoring systems are expensive and only allow the collection of random samples.…”

The reduced air quality inside buildings is undoubtedly a key factor to be controlled to ensure the health and comfort of the occupants as people usually spend more than 90% of their time in indoor environments. This paper aims to present iAQ an automatic system that is capable to monitoring indoor air quality and send real time notifications to provide active coaching for occupants in order to improve indoor air quality. iAQ is a cost effective solution for indoor air quality monitoring and provide monitoring data access by a web portal and a mobile application. This system is equipped is a five cost effective sensors for data acquisition of environmental parameters (air temperature, humidity, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and luminosity). Other sensors can be added to monitor specific pollutants. iAQ assumes increased interest due to the use of low cost and open source technologies. In fact, iAQ system has advantages in terms of simplicity of installation and configuration, through the use of wireless technology.
