Building automation and energy control using IoT - Smart campus

Abstract

Automation is the new trend in technology and in the common world. The true essence of the digital control of the energy and the automation of appliance usage is emerged when we use it to solve the big energy crisis problem. The use of energy by commercial sector in countries are growing rapidly and so is the wastage. 20% of the total energy of U.S. is consumed by the commercial sector. The 30% of the usage by commercial building is inefficient and unnecessary. [1] The automation by efficient usage can help in saving 10% of this wastage which results in the collective saving of about 40 Billion [2]. The figures tell us that the energy efficiency can save a huge cost. The automation and energy efficiency analysis is the key to it. This paper presents the automation techniques and a module that works for a room automation and ease of access to appliances with digital control. Any product or project module is not good enough if it is not easily accessible, hence, the ease of access plays an important role.
