An intelligent energy management system for air conditioners using Internet of Things (IoT) in educational institutions

Abstract

The study focused on the development of an intelligent energy management system for air conditioners using Internet of Things (IoT) in educational institutions. This technology enhances energy utilization efficiency and reduces operational costs. By integrating this technology into the system, it enables automatic tracking and control of air conditioner usage through motion detection sensors and connections to a mobile application, allowing users to instantly view the operational status and control the on/off settings. Experimental data analysis indicated that the system could significantly reduce electrical energy consumption and achieve high user satisfaction ( X = 4.68, S.D. = 0.47), making it an effective approach to managing energy resources in educational institutions with potential for expansion to other institutions.
