IOT based Advanced building automation and Energy Management

Energy is a crucial aspect in research across industrial, agricultural, and commercial use. Energy management of various appliances in an optimal way is essential at this juncture. At present, energy usage is predominantly dependent on natural and non-renewable resources like coal and oil. The energy demand is increasing day by day with the increasing population, increasing economic growth and consumption patterns leading to exploitation of energy. Energy demand must be met while contributing towards economic use of energy. Advanced embedded technologies and Internet of Things (IoT) are used to monitor the energy usage so as to reduce the energy consumption. Using various sensors and Arduino Microcontrollers energy is managed by automation and smartphone control. The system also keeps monitoring the consumption of energy which gives the user information and insights. Cloud server is used to update the information on web. This work will achieve energy conservation in a building environment with many appliances.
