Energy-efficiency Model for a Smart Building: A Real Application

One of the most significant benefits of the Internet of Things (IoT) is its efficiency. Many companies use this system to automate business and manufacturing processes, remotely monitor and control operations, optimize supply chains, and conserve resources. Smart devices agglomerate a huge amount of IoT data that needs to be analyzed in real-time. Most of the sensors are in remote areas or difficult for people to access, for this reason, it is necessary to analyze in detail the type of technology used as well as the installation site to optimize the use of energy. This work presents a real application of IoT in the monitoring of a building, in addition, an algorithm is used that optimizes the energy used, increasing the battery lifetime. In this way, it is possible to have an intelligent and energy-saving system. This work analyzes the main wireless technologies such as Zigbee, WiFi and LoRa in order to propose the ideal routing protocol depending on performance metrics in a building on a university campus.
