It is proposed to determine feasibility of using flexible plastic based organic photovoltaics (OPV) as an energy harvesting medium, providing extended battery life/ self powering of a combined carbon dioxide/ temperature/ humidity sensor. Application is aimed at use within wireless sensor networks in building control (enhanced indoor air quality & reduction in energy usage through demand control of heating & ventilating systems) and horticultural markets (accelerated plant growth through environmental control). Project aims are operation in building and greenhouse lighting levels, integration with power management systems, extended battery life/ self powering, wireless data transmission, cost effective installation and flexibility of zero maintenance deploy & forget solutions. OPV`s offer potential for a low cost solution with ease of integration. Primary benefit is economic deployment of wireless sensor networks and reduced or eliminated dependency on battery power.

建议确定使用基于柔性塑料的有机光致发光材料（OPV）作为能量收集介质的可行性，从而提供组合的二氧化碳/温度/湿度传感器的延长的电池寿命/自供电。应用旨在用于建筑控制（通过加热和通风系统的需求控制提高室内空气质量和减少能源使用）和园艺市场（通过环境控制加速植物生长）中的无线传感器网络。项目目标是在建筑物和温室照明水平下运行，与电源管理系统集成，延长电池寿命/自供电，无线数据传输，具有成本效益的安装以及零维护部署和忘记解决方案的灵活性。OPV提供了低成本解决方案的潜力，易于集成。主要好处是无线传感器网络的经济部署，并减少或消除对电池电源的依赖。
