Objective
Although Intelligent Building Controls IBC can improve the energy efficiency of commercial buildings they only have a few per cent penetration of the market. There are major barriers to adoption of these technologies such as high installation costs and the fact that the controls are fixed once installed and therefore are not adaptive to the changing needs of a commercial building. Moreover, today's systems do not provide optimal energy efficiency control and do not provide the ability to control the HV AC and lighting conditions for individual comfort zones to optimise the working conditions for employees. We will satisfy the existing market need and associated problem of high installation costs by developing and demonstrating a working prototype of a programmable modular wireless lighting Amp HVAC control system that can be used for both retrofit and new construction.
The system design will have the following objectives:
1. To wirelessly control HVAC and Lighting conditions
2. To automatically adapt HVAC and lighting conditions to individual user preferences thereby creating individual comfort zones Behaviour patterns will be registered by the system and control algorithms will adapt to take these into consideration
3. To locate occupants in case of fire or other emergency

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
