Abstract

This paper will explore how we can move from whole building energy usage data to that which can now include component level energy data (i.e., envelope assemblies). This paper will discuss a recent installation in a new campus building of a distributed low cost data acquisition system that can monitor at the component level. Five different wall/roof orientations were selected to have thermocouple sensors placed through the building envelope assembly. All these sensors will be connected to a programmable logic controller which will be integrated with a campus wide website. This system will not only become the new campus standard but will also have an enormous educational benefit to students who use this website.
