Results Impact

• Helping college students who may live in a place without central air conditioning.
• Helping regulate circadian rhythm with natural light control.

Future of the Project

• This project could be expanded to various window and blind types by using different motors.
• Further testing with the temperature sensor and light sensor could allow for better measurements to feed into the control algorithms.
