Building Energy Management and Conservation using Internet of Things

Abstract

Energy conservation is not much focused than finding new energy resources without harming the environment. There is more talk on new energy generation and renewable energy than Energy conservation. This paper implements the building energy management and conservation using advanced technologies. Internet of Things (IOT) and machine learning are used to automate the building appliances and monitor the energy usage. This paper deals with conservation of energy through building automation and energy management through sensors and actuators using advanced IOT technologies. The building appliances are sensed through various types of sensors and monitored through Arduino for effective use of electricity in the building. Bluetooth controlled android app called Smart Home is built using MIT App Inventor. Local automation is done through Bluetooth and MIT app inventor so as to monitor and control all the electrical appliances of the building through the hand held devices. The careless use of electricity by the customers is noticed and necessary actions are taken. As the energy consumption is monitored continuously all the time which eventually brings awareness about use of energy. The Artificial intelligence Techniques are used are used to predict the load which eventually leads to effective building energy management. This paper aims to conserve energy in building at least by ten percent using advanced technologies
