Sensing how buildings are used
Can building sensors reveal patterns of human presence without wearable trackers? A two-year deployment of 390 LoRaWAN sensor nodes tested indoor communication and explored how environmental measurements change with building use. Extra gateways improved transmission reliability. The human-presence analysis remains exploratory: the study did not yet validate these signals against a ground-truth occupancy dataset.
The paper contrasts sensors carried by people with sensors built into the surrounding environment. Figure 2.
