FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH ON ARCHITECTURAL MONITORING SYSTEM COLLABORATE WITH ARDUINO, PACHUBE AND SKETCHUP

Abstract

Recently, the use of sensor technology in the architecture discipline has been studied in various researches, but generally their instruments of the system aren’t spread. This is because of high cost of the systems, limited web service that can do comprehensive data management, and insufficient cooperation between CAD and these systems.
For these issues, we can construct the Architectural Monitoring System, by using “Arduino” as hardware for sensing, “Pachube” as the tool of data management, and “Google Sketchup” as linkage system. This thesis has shown the system from getting data to visualizing, using these new ICT equipments.
