Abstract
This paper presents a wireless sensor network prototype developed for the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm to monitor and characterize energy consumption issues in an institutional building. The prototype comprises sensing, computing and communicating elements to enhance facility managers’ problem-solving over energy management.
Highlights
Energy consumption in Brazil is expected to increase mainly in institutional and commercial buildings [1]
The University of Campinas is concerned on spending around 25 million reais per year with electricity [2], which points out the need of Energy Management Systems (EMS) in its facilities
The prototype consisted of a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), an infrastructure that comprises sensing, computing and communication elements to provide a user the ability to manage and react to events in a smart environment [3]
Summary
Energy consumption in Brazil is expected to increase mainly in institutional and commercial buildings [1] Such a bias is part of a global issue and demand from building owners the adoption of measures concerning Energy Management and its related long-term costs. The University of Campinas is concerned on spending around 25 million reais per year with electricity [2], which points out the need of Energy Management Systems (EMS) in its facilities. Considering such need in University’ buildings, the primary aim of this research was to develop a WSN prototype to monitor and characterize energy consumption issues in an institutional building. As a proof of concept, the prototype was designed to monitor the lighting system of a research laboratory
