| Abstract |
In general, IP (Internet Protocol) Cameras are CCTVs that analyzes image data not only for security purposes, but also for measuring presence and counting of people with video analytic functions. In this paper, we present a feasibility study in using the obtained video analytic data for a building energy management system. First, we developed a simulator based on a building model where CCTV may be placed to observe people. The data from each CCTV are analyzed to produce people counting at each area of the building model. In order to analyze the energy trend of an actual building, we performed a simulation using an energy analysis program, eQUEST. The produced people counting were used to control building management system defined in eQUEST. The feasibility of a building energy management system using the analyzed image data was proved by simulation. |
