Poster Abstract: Smart Phone Lift for Improving Energy Efficiency and User Comfort in Green Buildings

Green Building nowadays becomes a hot topic. A green building can reduce up to 40% of the total energy consumption and up to 37% of the total CO₂ compared to a normal building. To achieve this, we should improve each components of a building. In this work, we are focusing on lifts, which consume around 3% to 10% of the total building energy expenditure. [1, 2] This paper proposes techniques to improve the energy efficiency of green buildings via smart phone enabled lifts. The proposed technique for lift control also improves users´ comfort level in terms of average waiting time.
