This is the feed I found on pachube from a student currently doing ARCH 1391. It basically works as a light 
sensor, placed within floor of the responsive hallway collecting data according to light.
S.W.O.T
Strengths: It is able to detect changes of lighting condition in the hallway.
Weaknesses: Only light sensor applied, would have been in greater use if it was combined with other sensors 
to work at the same time such as sound sensor.
Opportunities: Emergency use in certain buidings. This sensor can detect if there is fire in the hallway. 
Architects can also benefit from this to test light conditions of a building. It can also be used for scientific 
purposes, for example some areas might have extra strong sunshine that it could benefit people using hot 
water tanks.
Threats: Not much information showing that this sensor is capable of collecting data consistenly.  Might be 
replaced by other light sensors with better accuracy and consistency.
