Analysis of Next Generation HAN/BAN Systems

This project involves research into current commercially available and upcoming home and building energy management systems products with network connectivity, Energy Efficiency, Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD) and Demand Response (DR) support functionality. Information about currently available next generation commercial products will be collected through research of existing installations and information from vendors. The expected outcome of this project is an assessment of products technology and functional characteristics as well as supported services such as energy management, security and entertainment. In addition, the project team will identify EMS products for future field evaluations to assess their effectiveness in implementing EE and DR measures.
