GasSense is a prototype system for both detecting and identifying the activity of individual natural gas appliances using only a single acoustic sensor placed on the gas infrastructure of the home. This system can be used to provide eco-feedback to the home user, which studies have shown to result in significant decreases in energy consumption. This project involved a variety of collaborators focused on human-computer interaction, sustainability, signal processing, machine learning, and mechanical engineering.
