Sensing technologies play an important role in realizing smart and sustainable buildings. Sensors of different modalities are increasingly being integrated into lighting systems that are ubiquitous in buildings. In this talk, the technical challenges in integrating sensors into a connected lighting system will be presented, along with the underlying signal processing problems in delivering sensing data to realize new and improved building applications. The presentation will cover the following topics: - Sensing-driven smart building applications: Lighting/HVAC controls, system monitoring and diagnostics, space management and user comfort/well-being; - Sensor system architectures and deployment aspects; - Sensor data analytics and machine learning based sensor data processing techniques. The presentation will provide a general overview of sensing in connected lighting and the enabled applications, while providing a flavor of the underlying data and signal processing opportunities.
