Proposal and implementation of real-time certification system for smart home using IoT technology

Abstract

This paper proposes a real-time certification system using Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to apply near-realtime data for measuring indoor comfort. We make use of the parameters of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), which is a building standard and certification system used across the world. These certifications basically use static values, for example, energy efficiency of electricity, water, and gas usage, while IoT technologies are provided with near-real-time values. The proposed certification system has the potential to provide information on a home's current status, for instance, age deterioration. This paper describes means of collecting real-time data using IoT technologies and provides results regarding how the system provides useful information to residents for maintaining indoor comfort. To test the system's applicability, we utilized data collected by two household types for one month. The results indicate the difference between static and dynamic data using the certification system.
