Abstract

The paper provides a safe and power-efficient Internet of Things (IoT)-based solution. With the growing concerns about environmental sustainability and the demand for improved safety measures in today’s society, it has become critical to focus on building systems that decrease energy consumption and assure the safety of humans and the environment. The proposed system employs cutting-edge technologies and novel approaches that will result in optimal energy usage with minimal or no human involvement thereby assuring the safety of people. The proposed system leverages on existing IoT technologies and is comprised of smart sensors, energy-efficient gadgets, and a centralized control unit. Therefore, it is able to demonstrate cutting edge power control strategies including power gating and dynamic central power regulation which control the usage of gadgets to operate at optimal power levels vis-a-vis the real-time demand to achieve energy efficiency. The system is also able to collect data on occupancy, lighting, temperature, and power consumption trends which can assist in making data-driven choices that improve the usage of energy. The proposed system provides large energy savings without sacrificing user comfort by dynamically altering lighting, and cooling systems based on occupants and ambient factors. Multiple simulations and real-world trials in homes and institutions’ buildings were used to assess the efficacy of the suggested system. The findings revealed substantial reductions in energy consumption without jeopardizing safety.
