Abstract

The development of an energy consumption and air conditioning system control designed to reduce energy wastage from an Air Conditioning Unit. The primary objective is to monitor and control key parameters such as power consumption, voltage, current, and real-time kW usage, while also tracking classroom occupancy using Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors. Via Automated control, we preferred to easily access the appliance through the internet. Data is transmitted to the Arduino IoT Cloud, allowing real-time monitoring and control via smartphones and laptops. Results show that the system effectively reduces unnecessary energy consumption by automatically adjusting the Air Conditioning Unit’s operation based on occupancy and energy data. In conclusion, this smart energy management system demonstrates the potential of IoT technology in promoting energy efficiency, offering a practical solution for sustainable classroom environments. This feature serves as a regulatory checker, enabling end-users to make informed decisions about their energy consumption.
