Abstract

Recent years have defined the need to reduce gas emissions to fight climate change, and society’s move to green energies is important to make responsible use of non-renewable energies. Therefore, it is now important to use technologies to optimize the use of actual energy sources. In this aspect, the Internet of Things (IoT) technology has had a great impact on society. Hence, this research work aims to use IoT technology and multi-agent systems to optimize the use of central heating installation in buildings. It is intended to improve the user’s comfort, reduce the consumption of energy and reduce the financial costs. Therefore, a multi-agent system is proposed to collect data from sensors located in a smart-home and obtain the best action to perform in a central heating system. The decisions will be taken by an intelligent agent based on fuzzy logic. This technology will allow for generating the control action with a fuzzy controller. The results obtained show that the proposal improves the actual system in terms of users’ comfort and financial and energy savings.

Highlights

  • In 2019, the debate was climate change, and during that year, several conferences took place in different parts of the world, like COP25 (Conference Of Parties 25), Climate Action Summit 2019, andYouth Climate Summit 2019 [1]

  • The Multi-Agent System (MAS) has shown that even if an agent fails, it can continue working with the rest of the agents without any problems

  • It was demonstrated that the proposed system can achieve the expected results and that this kind of architecture can be applied to a distributed system in the field of Internet of Things (IoT) and smart-environments

Summary

Introduction

In 2019, the debate was climate change, and during that year, several conferences took place in different parts of the world, like COP25 (Conference Of Parties 25), Climate Action Summit 2019, andYouth Climate Summit 2019 [1]. Political conferences and social conferences took place last year [1,2] in which environmental organizations and activists explained the risk and consequences of continuing this type of lifestyle These people had a great impact on the communications media, which was supported the selection of the Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg as “Time. IoT can be defined as an interaction between the physical and digital world, where both of them work together to achieve a common goal. The communication between these two worlds is provided by sensors and actuators. These communications are enabled thanks to several communication protocols like Wi-Fi, Low Power Wide-Area-Networks (LPWAN), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Near
