Design and Development of IoT based Smart Dynamic Energy Management for the Built Environment

Abstract

The effect of Internet of things (IoT) for the design of smart energy management system is largely dependent on the successful integration of IoT devices with cloud computing technique. For effective energy management system, the energy sector should be closely connected with Integrated Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Due to lack of semantics, the existing system is unable to communicate and integrate with other home appliances from remote locations. This paper demonstrates the design of IoT based Smart energy management system including the lighting load controller that works based on the motion of occupants inside the room. This idea of occupant based lighting control reduces the energy consumption around 60%. In this context, there are two modes of operation, one is manual operation and other one is based on Cloud computing technique. The end-user can control by publishing the messages by motion sensor onto cloud server to which LED lights are subscribed. This integrated system includes 4 channel relay module and low cost 32 bit MCU board with different sensors. This proposed study develops the energy efficient Smart room while maintaining the energy usage with cost effective approach. Our results show that IoT-cloud network provide wide range of monitoring and controlling services for next generation smart environment and reduces the power consumption.
