HVAC Comfort Real-Time Monitoring
Scenario record: it defines the environment, the mission flow and a proposed hardware and software configuration. The list below is a configuration proposal, not an installation inventory. Field projects lists deployed systems and their measurements.
- Environment
- Indoor, public area
- Operating mode
- Supervised autonomy
- Proposed robot
- Unitree AS2
The problem addressed
Some mall zones being excessively cold, others suffocatingly hot: the 2nd most common customer complaint.
Draft mission flow
- 1Robot circulates different mall zones measuring temperature, humidity, CO2 and PM2.5 values at each point.
- 2Thermal camera creates cold/hot zone map; CO2 accumulation detected in crowded areas.
- 3When PMV/PPD comfort index is out of threshold, automatic HVAC adjustment recommendation sent to BMS.
- 4Zonal comfort maps and trend reports presented to mall management; settings adjusted before complaint-heavy hours.
Proposed hardware
- Temperature/Humidity Sensor
- CO2 Sensor
- PM2.5 Particle Sensor
- Airflow Speed Sensor
- Thermal Camera
Proposed software
- Navigation
- Adaptive routing based on crowd density in mall open areas and store corridors
- Model
- Thermal Comfort Index (PMV/PPD) Calculation and Zonal Air Quality Mapping
- Integration
- BMS (Building Management System) HVAC Control Panel and Mall Operations Dashboard

Values are manufacturer data. Scenario fit is determined by comparing these limits with site conditions.
From scenario to installation
Feasibility is determined by the site survey: floor and route, network coverage, the charging point, intervention responsibilities and the conditions under which the robot must stop. The survey report defines the scope, the constraints and the commissioning steps.
