Abstract
Energy consumption in residential and commercial
buildings has increased dramatically worldwide in the last decade, due
to the constant population and economic growth, the proliferation of
electronic and consumer appliances. This has dramatic footprint on the
environment in terms of carbon emission, in addition to the economic
impact. Green and smart building strategies will play a pivotal role to
reduce this footprint and maximize economic and environmental
performance. These strategies can be integrated into buildings at any
stage, from design and construction, to maintenance and renovation. The
use of modern Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), notably
IoT solutions, for building control is one of the promising strategies
for the future. The aim of this project was to explore this domain, and
as a first step to develop a wireless sensor networks based solution for
monitoring and energy management in offices. A prototype has been
targeted as a proof of concept where sensors monitor physical parameters
in CERSIT offices (presence of people, ambient light, etc.), and
accordingly actuate lighting, air conditioning, etc. This report is a
short summery of the different parts developed in this project.
