Smart Optimization of Energy Consumption using IoT

In any large educational organization, the energy devices in the classrooms and laboratories are manually operated and remain ON throughout the day. These rooms have predefined schedule and when the venues are sparingly used a lot of energy is wasted if the energy devices remain ON throughout the day. A study on the estimates of energy consumption in a laboratory using the prevailing system was carried out. The proposed approach exhibited significant reduction in the energy consumption by automatically switching the energy devices ON and OFF of each venue based on the time table. Such optimization of load scheduling with the timetable of the venue intends to conserve the energy consumption. Moreover, the status of the energy devices could be transmitted over the internet using IoT and remotely controlled by developing an App which provided with a mechanism for smart monitoring of energy devices. Furthermore, this system can be used for smart estimation of power consumption.
