Main Idea

This idea is a kind of smart false ceiling that can act as a HVAC duct cover. This system is suitable for large spaces with small numbers of people, such as libraries and museums. This ceiling act according to each person’s temperature. The system operates in such a way that temperature sensors, which are connected to smart gadgets such as smartwatches, instantly transmit body temperature to the smart roof, and the roof panels open and close according to the heat or cold needs of the people to provide their thermal comfort. On the other hand, the temperature image of people falls on the ceiling panels so that people can be informed of their body temperature visually.

Infographic

  • Mapping temperature colors collected from sensors to ceiling panels as a pattern of motion and better understanding of comfort zones

Actuating

  • Simulation is simplified and done with Tinkercad.com
  • Here is a picture of audrino simulation for one temperature sensor and one led. It will be several temperature sensors and several RGB LED’s for real.
