- Abstract
- While the use of wireless sensing technology appears cutting-edge and interesting, it is unclear where its true value lies for the building community. What benefits can be derived from advanced sensor technology, whether it is wireless or wired? The technology must somehow reduce operation costs or provide added comfort to occupants compared to conventional technologies.
