Control and monitoring systems for buildings rely on an extensive installed infrastructure to provide predetermined information solely to building managers. Pervasive computing technologies have the potential to provide more flexible systems that can be readily reconfigured both in location and in terms of the parameters measured.

This project aims to develop a system for monitoring the use of buildings and to use this system to understand how people interact with buildings. The system will be independent from the fabric of the building allowing it to be readily reconfigured and giving the opportunity for the impact of design changes in the building to be measured and assessed. Data from the system can be analysed in real time and fed back to users in ways that enhance their creativity, innovation, performance and comfort.
