Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis presents the design and implementation of a smart energy management system tailored for residential buildings. The increasing demand for energy-efficient solutions in the residential sector has prompted the development of innovative technologies to optimize energy consumption. The proposed system aims to provide homeowners with a comprehensive tool to monitor, control, and optimize their energy usage, ultimately leading to reduced energy costs and environmental impact. The research begins with a detailed exploration of the current state of energy management in residential buildings, highlighting the challenges and limitations faced by homeowners. Through a comprehensive literature review, various existing energy management systems and technologies are analyzed to identify gaps and opportunities for improvement. The methodology chapter outlines the research approach and methodology employed in the design and implementation of the smart energy management system. The development process includes the selection of suitable hardware and software components, the design of the system architecture, and the implementation of various features such as real-time energy monitoring, automated energy scheduling, and remote control capabilities. The discussion of findings chapter provides a detailed analysis of the results obtained from testing and evaluating the smart energy management system. Key performance metrics such as energy savings, user satisfaction, and system reliability are assessed to determine the effectiveness of the system in meeting its objectives. In conclusion, the study demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of the smart energy management system in optimizing energy consumption in residential buildings. The system offers homeowners a user-friendly interface to monitor and control their energy usage, leading to significant cost savings and environmental benefits. The findings of this research contribute to the growing body of knowledge in energy management systems and provide valuable insights for future research and development in this field.
