Part Three of Energy Monitoring Box

Saturday, March 6th, 2010


My associate, Paul Gelling, populating the front panel of Collabworx/Sensyr Energy Monitoring AC Power Distribution and Network Hub which will be used as part of a smart building system in the Syracuse University Center of Excellence building located in downtown Syracuse, New York. The system will be used to monitor energy in a cubicle to analyze the way people use energy in an office situation. All eight outlets will be switchable over the Internet using an embedded controller with solid state relays. Total energy consumption will be monitored and logged, for the purpose of determining whether or not the smart building system can actually save energy when providing personal environmental monitoring and adjustments. Because this cabinet cover is not perfectly flat, it was a challenge to machine the text without making it too shallow or cutting completely through the box. We used one box as a test unit and finally found that a depth of 5/100ths worked well and set the zero point on the Z axis at the highest part of the lid.
