An Easy-to-Deploy Temporal Thermographic Data Collection and Analysis System
Published Thursday, May 3, 2018Buildings in the United States consume a significant amount of energy and release an increasing amount of CO2. Accordingly, tools and techniques have been developed to determine where energy efficiency in buildings can be improved. One such technique is thermography, where auditors determine energy inefficiency using a thermal camera that shows...

Conservation Dependencies
Published Wednesday, October 3, 2012Many constraints and rules have been used to analyze data quality: functional, inclusion and sequential dependencies, association rules, etc. Additionally, a broad class of tools not covered by existing constraints may be identified, where a “conservation law” exists between related quantities. Conservation laws, however, are obeyed only to...
