System and Method for Occupancy-Driven Register Airflow Control
Active monitoring of heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) systems for energy efficiency. Background: HVAC is the largest source of building energy consumption. Therefore, energy - and consequently money - can be saved by closing off air vents during certain hours of the day. These are so-called smart vents. However, these products do not have on-board...

Chopped Passive Infrared Sensor Apparatus and Method for Stationary and Moving Occupant Detection
Additions of multiple different elements to improve current PIR sensors. Background: Passive infrared (PIR) sensors are used in a variety of applications. They work by using the pyroelectric effect: a change based on the temperature modifies the positions of the atoms. However, because voltage is generated by pyroelectric materials, conventional PIR...
