A Smart Home Energy Monitoring System Based on Internet of Things and Inter Planetary File System for Secure Data Sharing

Energy demand will continue to rise as a result of predicted population growth. In this work, a user-friendly home energy monitoring system based on IoT is described, which is capable of collecting, analyzing, and displaying data. Users register their sensors and devices on the monitoring platform. PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch databases are used to store the resulting measurements. In a smart home, the wireless sensor ACS712 was used to monitor the flow of electricity (current and voltage) for a household device. The user can share data about electricity consumption and costs with a third party via the private IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) network. A third party can download all the energy consumption data for a device or many devices from the platform for 1 day, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year. The studies on the development of energy-efficient technology for home devices benefit greatly from the gathered data. For security in the system, it is preferred to run Keyrock Idm, Wilma Pep Proxy, and Orion Context Broker in HTTPS mode, and MQTTS is used to retrieve sensor data. The experimental results showed that the energy monitoring system accurately records voltage, current, active power, and the total amount of power used and offers low-cost solutions to the users using household devices in a day.

Development of Wi-Fi Based Home Energy Monitoring System for Green Internet of Things

Green Internet of things （loT） has been heralded as the ＂next big thing＂ waiting to be realized in energy-efficient ubiquitous computing. Green IoT revolves around increased machine-to-machine communications and encompasses energy-efficient wireless embedded sensors and actuators that assist in monitoring and controlling home appliances. Energy efficiency in home applications can be achieved by better monitoring of the specific energy consumption by the appliances. There are many wireless standards that can be adopted for the design of such embedded devices in loT. These communication technologies cater to different requirements and are classified as the short-range and long-range ones. To select the best communication method, this paper surveys various loT communication technologies and discusses the advantages and disadvantages to develop an energy monitoring system. An IoT device based on the Wi-Fi technology system is developed and tested for usage in the home energy monitoring environment. The performance of this system is then evaluated by the measurement of power consumption metrics. In the efficient deep-sleep mode, the system saves up to 0.3 W per cycle with an average power dissipation of less than 0.1 W/s.

IoT-enabled energy efficiency monitoring and analysis method for energy saving in sheet metal forming workshop

Sheet metal forming,as a typical energy-intensive process,consumes massive energy.Due to the significant difference between sheet metal forming and machining,manufacturers still lack an effective method to monitor and analyze the energy efficiency in the sheet metal forming workshop.To this end,an energy efficiency monitoring and analysis(EEMA)method,which is supported by Internet of Things(IoT),is proposed.The characteristics in a forming workshop are first analyzed,and then the architecture of the method is expatiated-detailedly.Energy efficiency indicators at machine level,process level,and workshop level are defined,respectively.Finally,a sheet metal forming workshop for the deformation of panels of forklift was investigated to validate the effectiveness and benefits of the proposed method.With the application of the IoT-enabled method,various energy-saving decisions can be made by the management of the enterprises for energy efficiency improvement and energy consumption reduction(EEIECR)in the sheet metal forming workshop.

According to the structural characteristics of large public buildings, the paper proposes the key technology development and the functions of the software platform, and provides RS485 communication code. The research results in this paper have some practical value on energy consumption of large-scale construction monitoring.

Do Well to Dwell Well. Awareness as the Driver for the Behaviour of Tomorrow’s Citizens

Because of the impact of global warming,the Earth’s ecosystems are currently at a critical stage.The European building sector,and the residential element in particular,is responsible for the largest portion of energy enduse.Although we know how to build a perfectly engineered house,it will not work properly if its inhabitants do not know how to run it.“Well-educated”dwellers can really improve energy use.The aim of this research is to optimize the users’role in the energy reduction process,analysing as a case study,Dwell!,the monitoring system designed for“RhOME for denCity”,the housing prototype developed by Roma Tre University and winner of the“Solar Decathlon Europe”competition in 2014.

WEATHERFORD PLACE ECOCRAFT HYBRID^(TM) COMMUNITY OF LEED PLATINUM HOMES

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world;indeed,it is the only thing that ever has.”-Margaret Mead My partner,Denise Donahue,and I,Simone du Boise,AIA,LEED AP,NCARB are,in essence,environmentalists.As licensed architects,certified general contractors,and LEED Accredited Professionals,we co-founded Cadmus Environmental Design-Build in spite of our belief that the world doesn’t really need another developer,builder,or architect,but rather because it most certainly needs environmental stewards.We also believe we have both a personal and professional responsibility to utilize our abilities and expertise to“Build A Better Environment.”Our Weatherford Place Community is a living expression of that commitment to comprehensive energy and water conservation,coupled with contributory assets that demand less and deliver more as a community.Our signature solution,the EcoCraft Hybrid^(TM)Home,provides a prescriptive method towards Net Zero Energy results.Our formula factors efficiency,conservation,and CARE(Clean,Alternative,Renewable,Energy)toward a result of zero demand.Synergistic systems and innovations that include passive solar,active solar PV,and solar thermal are key to measurable results and LEED Platinum Certifications.The EcoCraft Hybrid^(TM)Home evolves around a holistic approach that includes:low impact design;utilitarian driven and directed by the local vernacular;passive and active solar integration;engineered systems to enhance conservation measures;and in-situ analysis that integrates the past with the present.Energy efficiency,water conservation,and environmental care inform the design and construction of an artistic,comfortable,easy to care for,and healthy home that enables universal access and age-in-place abilities.Following our specific design and construction directives,all of this is achievable at price points comparable to conventional construction.
