Building Automation and Context Aware Energy Consumption using IoT - Smart Campus

摘要

The world is now heading towards a busier lifestyle. Taking care of upcoming challenges in life everyone expects the day to day works to be handled with less effort. Here automation plays an important role in easing the lifestyle of people. Automation takes care of getting the task done without human involvement. Automation implied using Internet of Things (IoT) makes the device smarter and allow them act according to the context which brings in the context awareness of the automated energy efficient systems. Context aware system is important for efficient use of energy and automation allows the system to work with less manual support. This paper proposes a system that uses IoT to design an automated module to control room appliances and a context tracing system to trace the environment of the room for efficient automated use of appliances and hence efficient energy usage. The traditional system of energy consumptions includes huge amount of energy wastage as well as huge cost. Rate at which the traditional system is wasting the energy resources it is likely face an energy crisis soon. Automation can be a decent solution to to such hazardous problems.
