System
(ESCCS)
Team: Sean Jacobs, Brad Nissenbaum,
Colin Tracy
Advisor: Professor Anderson
Mission Statement
 Environmental
- Relieving stresses caused by increasing energy
demands
 Economic
- Saving the consumer money through decreased
energy use
 Engineering
- Use sound engineering practices in order to meet
goals and satisfy consumer demands.
System Outline
•Temperature and Light Levels can be measured
•Based on User Settings, Room Environment is adjusted
•Control system is used to Adjust Air Conditioner operation along
with light levels in the room with Electrochromic Glass
Thermostat,
Light
measurer
and User
Input dials
Room with

Materials and Testing
 We have received 8 product samples of
automobile mirrors to use on our prototype
and test examples
 We know how our samples operate due to
varying voltage changes
 Need to decide on proper Microcontroller and
Sensors
Proposed MDR Specification
 Decide on and obtain Microcontroller
 Obtain Photovoltaic Cell and Battery
 Obtain Sensors
 Breadboard Microcontroller for Programming
The ESCCS
Energy is Money
