Local Warming is a system that uses Wi-Fi based motion tracking and ceiling-mounted dynamic heating elements to project heat directly onto individuals within a building, instead of trying to heat the entire space.
The result is that each person is comfortably warm while the empty space around them is cooler, thus reducing energy consumption.
Local Warming has been developed by researchers at MIT's Senseable City Lab and is being presented for the first time as an installation at the 14th Venice Architecture Biennale, which opens today (4 June, 2014).
Carlo Ratti, who led the research said that "a huge amount of energy" is wasted on heating partially occupied buildings. "Buildings are heated 24 hours a day, even when nobody is in them, and empty corners of the building are indiscriminately kept just as warm as rooms that are in active use. The technologies underlying Local Warming could address this asymmetry by synchronising climate control with human presence, vastly improving the energy efficiency of buildings."
The system works by recognising when a visitor enters a room, and then tracking his or her location and trajectory in real-time using an MIT-developed technology. This information is then transmitted in real time to a load of dynamic heating elements -- with servo motors to change direction, a bulb to generate infrared radiation, a cold mirror and focussing optics -- which are placed in a grid on the ceiling. The heat is then emitted to create spotlights of warmth in a space so that people feel like they are in a "personal thermal cloud", as project engineer Leigh Christie describes it.
The team suspects that the first commercial application of the technology might be responsive outdoor heaters or large lobbies -- spaces that are often sparsely occupied. Further down the line, the technology could be used to allow individuals to specify their chosen temperature for their thermal bubble via a smartphone app -- I might want a slightly warmer temperature than my colleague, for example.
Ratti told Wired.co.uk that the biggest challenge has been integrating the motion tracking with the actuation of the infrared light. "We are still overcoming [this challenge]," he says, adding that it will be "easy when this is into production".
The system is only being presented as a prototype, but Ratti doesn't believe that such a system would be too expensive to implement. "We have imagined very simple systems that could be integrated into a standard false ceiling," he says.

New Energy Efficient Troffers Feature 'Best in Class' Technology for Variety of Commercial Applications
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J. LG Electronics USA is shedding new light on high-performance energy efficient LED (Light-Emitting Diode) lighting solutions for commercial applications.
New LG LED lighting troffers - the most energy efficient available* in the United States today - provide designers, property owners and contractors with the latest in lighting technology and significant energy savings, assuring a long-term return on investment. A troffer is a recessed rectangular light fixture that fits into a ceiling grid.
LG's LED troffers provide outstanding illumination for a variety of environments while maintaining a sleek, modern appearance, according to Sean Lafferty, head of LG Electronics USA's LED lighting business. They also represent a great value, because LG's technology delivers up to 40 percent more energy savings than competing LED troffers. They are available in 2'x2' and 2'x4' configurations as either lay-in or retrofit fixtures to provide flexible installation options.
"We're hearing excellent feedback about energy and maintenance cost savings from customers who have already installed our troffers in their office buildings and retail locations," said Lafferty. "LG is committed to providing solutions that not only help maximize energy savings for our customers, but also deliver high-quality and attractive solutions, and look forward to expanding our reach with these products."
LG's LED troffers are a great option for those seeking lighting solutions for retrofits, as they maximize energy savings and provide a high return on investment, Lafferty explained. "They can typically be installed by qualified contractors in less than 10 minutes. Upgrading to LG's LED product is easy and affordable thanks, in part, to a host of public and private rebate programs now in place," he said. This includes state, federal and local tax credits as well as special financing incentives. Customers have experienced paybacks in less than two years.**
LG troffers provide dimming control by ZigBee wireless communication, enabling easy integration with third party controls systems for even further energy savings with daylight harvesting, occupancy sensing and automatic timers. The ZigBee feature allows for impressive installation cost savings, and by eliminating the need for additional communications modules, is less expensive to maintain over time. With ZigBee wireless, LG LED troffers provide commercial installations with industry-leading efficacy, greater installation flexibility and lower labor cost, ideal for hard-to-wire applications.
Key features of the LG LED troffers include: -- Low-glare optic system under 18 UGR (unified glare rating) -- 70 percent luminance over 200,000 hours -- 0-10 Volt dimming -- 2400-, 3300-, 4400-, and 5800-lumen packages available for upgrade from 2-, 3-, or 4-lamp T8 fluorescent fixtures -- Power factor of less than 95 percent and dimming capability
LG is collaborating with Daintree Networks, the leading provider of open, networked wireless solutions for smart building control and energy management, to create a fully integrated LED lighting solution with wireless control for commercial settings. Embedding wireless communication capability directly into LG's LED drivers enables seamless interaction with Daintree's ControlScope networked wireless control solution.
