Development of a Smart Energy Management System for Sustainable Building Operations

Project Abstract

The increasing global focus on sustainability and energy efficiency has prompted the development and implementation of smart energy management systems in various sectors, including buildings. This research project aims to contribute to the field of sustainable building operations by developing a Smart Energy Management System (SEMS) tailored to optimize energy consumption and improve operational efficiency within buildings. The SEMS will integrate advanced technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, data analytics, and machine learning algorithms to monitor, analyze, and control energy usage in real-time.
