Senior Design Project Report Whole House Ventilation System

Abstract

The Whole House Ventilation System was created out of the sponsor’s need to have cleaner air within their home. The system will accommodate a Ranch-style, 2000 sq ft home located in Indianapolis. A microcontroller will be used to control the fan speed and make decisions based on sensor data. Other specifications include having the fan produce noise below 65 dB, physical controls for fan speed and power, and having an Android app to view sensor data. The four system tests we conducted verified power, sensor functionality, and Auto/Manual functionality. All four tests passed. The final system met the majority of the customer’s needs. We recommend a PCB board reprint as some holes do not have pads.
