  1. Group 16: Efficient HVAC System Daniel Galarza, CpE Chung Chien Hsia, EE Kevin Ivy, EE Marvin Fernandez, CpE Mentors: William Carson Sr. and William Carson Jr. Sponsors: Workforce Central Florida

  2. Motivation – Natural Air Energy • HVAC = Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning • Massive household energy consumption • Different needs for different climates • Humidity almost never considered • Make improvements on the previous version of this project.

  3. Project History • iTemp – First design • Ineffective • Software was slow • Did not have a hardware simulation for AC Unit • Efficient HVAC System – Second design • Expensive, and excessive components (Panda Board) • Mobile Application and Website never completed

  4. Project Overview • Web connectivity • Website that can control an HVAC system • MySQL Database for storing user entries • Mobile Phone Application that mimics website • Hardware simulator based on redesign of HVAC system

  5. Specifications • MySQL Database stores user information • Secure login for users • Secure login for advanced administrator functions • Website accessible by mobile and desktop browsers • Hardware reads temperatures & humidity • CO2 Sensor • Machine to Machine Communication

  6. Project Block Diagram

  7. Software

  8. Software Areas

  9. MySQL Database • Stores HVAC system data • Stores customer and administrator credentials • Temperature, Humidity, Tolerance control • Seven Day Scheduler Programming • Basic User Settings stored • Advanced Administrator Settings stored

  10. Website Application • Allows a user to control their home HVAC system from a web browser. • Based on the format of previous screens. • Has all the same functions of the previous system. • Obtains all of the consumer’s changes from their specific entries within the database.

  11. Website Application - Tools • Control and monitor a user’s HVAC system from a desktop or mobile web browser. • PHP – For coding database interaction • SQL – Direct communication with Database • jQuery/AJAX – Dynamic, automatic updating • Dreamweaver – hand coding PHP and SQL • Gator Host – www.naturalairenergy.com

  12. Mobile Software Comparisons Android iOS (iPhone) • SDK is free • Many different software programs available that supports Android • Primary language is Java • SDK is $100 roughly • Few other software programs are compatible with it • Primary language is Objective-C

  13. Mobile Website Solution • jQuery Mobile provided a third option • Mobile Website similar to main website • Accessible to a various phones such as Android and iPhone • No development fees • Works on most mobile browsers and formats • Accessed using the /m website address

  22. Hardware Areas

  23. Hardware Simulator

  24. Board Expansion PIC32 I/O • 132-pin Starter Kit connector • Optional 9V DC Inlet with 3.3 and 5 volt regulators • Two 2x30-pin header footprints • Two 120-pin PICtail Plus daugther card sockets • 120-pin PICtail Plus edge connector

  25. Temperature Sensor I • LM34 (Precision Fahrenheit Temperature Sensors) • Linear +10.0 mV/˚F scale factor • Operates from 5 to 30 volts • Less than 90 µA current drain (small power consumption) • ±0.8°C accuracy (normally)

  26. Temperature Sensor II This setting works ranging from +5˚ to +300˚F

  27. Humidity Sensor • CHS-MSS (TDK) • Compact size • Low current consumption. • Debug the humidity directly with a voltmeter • Measuring range from 20 % to 85 % RH • Nominal Accuracy is ± 5 % RH • Operating Condition : 0 to +50°C (in 5V)

  28. CHS-MSS Characteristic • Three pin –GND, Vin, Vout • Linear relationship (RH VS Output Voltage) • 1V  100 % RH • 0.8v  80% RH

  29. CO2 Gas Sensor • Parallax Inc 27929 • Power requirements: 6.5 - 15 VDC @ • 160 mA (Sense Mode) / 2 mA (Standby) • Gas over-limit alarm • Price: $39.99 • 4 pin connection - E1 (Heat switch)0-12V -E3 Vin (6.5-12V) • E2 (Alarm output)0-3.3V -E4 Gnd Noted :First time use need to do the calibration

  30. Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) • Most controller is digital in nature (PIC32 is same) • Only recognize High and Low (0 or 1) • Need ADC to convert voltage reading to digital representation • 10 bits ADC in PIC 32 (from 0-3.3 V) • 3.3 V/(2^10) = 3.22 mV (precision of reading) • PIC 32 has 2 multiplexer for ADC

  31. PCB Layout

  32. Roles in the Project

  33. Budget and Financing
