Project Goals
• Previous Senior Design Project–Developed Partial Diagnostic Model of the ITEB HVAC
System
• Develop C++ program extract and analyze real-time data from the building sensors
• Combine model and code to detect for faults in real-time.
TEAMS
• Designero Model that maps failures
• RDSo Remote Diagnostic Servero RT

Procedure
Code
• Data Sensor values stored into text file
• Run data through C++ coding to determine if failure occurs
• TEAMS-RT combines code with model to generate where failures occur and best possible solution
Project Limitations
• HVAC is a complicated Mechanical systemo Many possible failures could occuro Difficult to model every minor failure
• Cost and Time of each failure
• Sensor values are on protected servero Need to obtain access

Next Steps
• Obtain Real-Time Data from Sensorso Working with Professor Laurent Michel &
Professor Peter Luho Biggest Limitation
• Begin & implement code development• Associate weighted time and cost of testing
each component• Test and Debug completed project
