SoCQ4Home Project

The SoCQ4Home project tackles the general issue of the reduction of energy consumption for buildings. Through instrumentation with numerous and various sensors, such instrumented buildings can provide a lot of information about themselves while being occupied: effective usage of rooms, thermal behavior during days and nights, etc. Instrumented buildings can also provide additional services to their users, then becoming smart buildings.

The SoCQ4Home project focuses on the monitoring of instrumented buildings with four axes:

• Middleware platform for easy deployment of sensors and sensor networks in buildings
• Homogeneous modeling of monitoring systems to support efficient storage of heterogeneous sensor data
• Declarative query language to support multidimensional data analysis and information discovery for monitoring applications
• Declarative query language to support real-time interactions between devices and users for smart building applications

You can print the SoCQ4Home Platform Flyer (in French, two-sided layout) to get a quick overview of the project.

This Web site describes the SoCQ4Home Project. You can read:

• an overview of the Project and the Platform
• details about the software components: gateway, Web interfaces, etc.
• details about the hardware components: sensors, Smart Rabbits, etc.
