Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
$24,950.00
Thermostat Testing and Evaluation
FY 2011-12
Summary
A Calgary-based SME specializing in importation of goods into the North American market approached SAIT to test and evaluate a family of digital thermostats. This validation is required to ensure that the devices meet or exceed all listed specifications in order to prepare the thermostats for entry into the North America market. The instructions for each of the three models of thermostat will also be reviewed, and revised to be clear and easy to use. This short project will build on SAIT's academic and applied research capacity in information technology (IT). The work will take place in the Centre for Innovative Information Technology Solutions (CIITS), a research centre developed to address the need for secure pre-adoption simulation, testing and training of IT solutions. This project will support a growing relationship between SAIT and the importing sector and increase the institution's IT research presence.
