Project Overview

The project topic "Smart Energy Management System for Buildings Using IoT Technology" focuses on the development and implementation of an advanced system that leverages IoT (Internet of Things) technology to optimize energy usage in buildings. Energy management in buildings is crucial for reducing energy consumption, lowering costs, and promoting sustainability. With the rise of smart technologies and IoT applications, there is a growing interest in utilizing these tools to enhance energy efficiency in various domains, including buildings. The proposed system aims to address the challenges associated with traditional energy management systems by integrating IoT devices and sensors to collect real-time data on energy consumption, building occupancy, environmental conditions, and other relevant parameters. By analyzing this data using advanced algorithms and machine learning techniques, the system can generate insights and recommendations for optimizing energy usage in buildings. This includes adjusting heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, lighting controls, and other energy-consuming devices based on occupancy patterns, weather conditions, and energy pricing. One of the key features of the system is its ability to provide remote monitoring and control capabilities, allowing building managers and occupants to access energy data and control settings through a user-friendly interface, such as a mobile application or web portal. This enables proactive energy management, predictive maintenance, and automated energy-saving actions, leading to improved comfort, efficiency, and sustainability in buildings. By implementing a Smart Energy Management System using IoT technology, buildings can achieve significant energy savings, reduce their carbon footprint, and enhance overall operational efficiency. This research project aims to explore the design, development, and deployment of such a system, evaluate its effectiveness in real-world scenarios, and provide recommendations for future enhancements and scalability. Through this project, we seek to contribute to the advancement of smart energy management solutions for buildings, driving towards a more sustainable and energy-efficient built environment.
