An Integration of IoT and IoE Towards Sustainable Building Energy Management

With electricity powering so much of modern life, energy consumption per person is a great barometer of a country's economic health. The use of fossil fuels in power plants is detrimental to the environment. Therefore, a nation's long-term growth and prosperity hinge on its capacity to manage and conserve energy resources. Energy Management Systems (EMS) have recently seen an increase in both adoption and scrutiny. Energy Management Systems (EMS) enable significant energy savings by providing consumers with the data and tools they need to effectively manage their loads. By using an energy management system, power consumption, prices, and the possibility of technical troubles can be decreased significantly. Internet of Things (IoT) powered EMS is practiced in many countries around the world. However, to connect all elements in a power system network and to achieve sustainable EMS, the integration of the Internet of Energy (IoE) is the paradigm shift for the future world. In this research, IoT and IoE-based EMS have been designed and implemented for a residential dwelling. The designed system's features are adapted considering technological advancement, financial affordability, and environmental adaptability. The proposed infrastructure is supposed to link customers and utility providers for smoother operations and reliable electrical energy delivery. The designed EMS will be attractive to all stakeholders as it is technically viable, economically feasible, and environmentally sustainable.
