The Spot* System for Flexible Personal Heating and Cooling

Proceedings of the 2015 ACM Sixth International Conference on Future Energy Systems, 2015
SPOT* is a cost-effective, legacy-compatible, flexible system for personalized heating and cooling. It senses occupancy and worker comfort uses the Predicted Mean Vote equation to determine worker comfort. It then actuates a fan or a heater to adjust the comfort level so that it lies between -0.5 and +0.5 in the ASHRAE comfort scale.
