The developed metering system is operational in National Central University with hybrid communication technologies and billing systems for monitoring the energy usage of machinery hall. Otherwise, ITeS building is also deployed over 800 sensors (such as temperature, humidity, luminance, motion, etc.) for identifying the integrated smart living system. It is used for developing automatic building energy management system and complex event processing system.
