Mining Work Camps




                    Markus Lanthaler – Graz University of Technology
Problem

• Supply of important basic amenities is
  costly

• Provision of energy particularly expensive
  (diesel generators)

• Mining camp of 1,500 housing units:
  > $1.7 million/year just for energy

• Emissions: > 10,000 metric tons of CO2

                               Markus Lanthaler – Graz University of Technology
Problem

• Residents don’t pay themselves: lot of
  wastage

• Keep rooms cooled at 18°C for whole day
  just to make sure it’s cold on return
  (outside > 40°C)

• TVs are not turned off



                               Markus Lanthaler – Graz University of Technology
Reduce Wastage by Automation




 Monitor energy    Intelligently control
consumption and   appliances to reduce
  environment             wastage




                        Markus Lanthaler – Graz University of Technology
Requirements

• Reuse existing infrastructure
  (brownfield project)

• Keep installation simple (and thus cheap)

• Remote control and maintenance

• Do not interfere with the
  resident’s interests

Field Trial Evaluation

• Deployed in a remote housing site in
  Karratha, Western Australia

• Run from April 2011 till November 2011

• Used simple heuristics
  – resident at work: set A/C to 30°C
  – cool room down before resident comes back
