2. Energy Conservation
Definition -Energy conservation is the
practice of decreasing the quantity of energy
used.
It may be achieved through efficient energy
use, in which case energy use is decreased
while achieving a similar outcome, or by
reduced consumption of energy services.
3. Ways to Conserve Energy
Conservation – Use less!
Improve Efficiency – Technology and “do more
with less”
Renewable Energy – Invest in the future
4. Energy Conservation using Internet
of Things
Internet of Things:
It is the network of physical objects or
"things" embedded with electronics,
software, sensors, and network
connectivity, which enables these
objects to collect and exchange data.
5. Smart Living
Smart Home Appliances
Refrigerators with LCD screen telling what’s inside,
food that’s about to expire, ingredients you need to buy
and with all the information available on a smartphone
app.
Energy and Water Use
Energy and water supply consumption monitoring to
obtain advice on how to save cost and resources.
Maximizing energy efficiency by introducing lighting
and heating products, such as bulbs, thermostats and
air conditioners.
6. Gas Monitoring:
Real-information about gas usage and the status of gas
lines could be provided by connecting residential gas
meters to an Internet protocol (IP) network.
7. Smart Energy
Smart Grid:
Energy consumption monitoring and management.
Photovoltaic Installations:
Monitoring and optimization of performance in
solar energy plants
Wind Turbines:
Monitoring and analyzing the flow of energy from
wind turbines, and two-way communication with
consumers’ smart meters to analyze consumption
patterns.
8. Smart Buildings
Intelligent Thermostat:
Thermostat that learns the users programming schedule
after a few days, and from that programs itself. Can be used
with an app to connect to the thermostat from a smart
telephone, where control, watching the energy history, how
much energy is saved and why can be displayed
Art and Goods Preservation:
Monitoring of conditions inside museums and art
warehouses
Remote monitoring and control:
Building operators and residential consumers will be able
to monitor utility consumption and control heating,
lighting, safety, and security systems from offsite.
9. Predictive maintenance:
Sensors in a building’s mechanical components
will alert engineers when a part needs attention,
reducing the time and labor costs associated with
routine inspections and preventive maintenance.
10. Smart Transport and Mobility
NFC Payment:
Payment processing based in location or activity
duration for public transport, gyms, theme parks, etc.
Quality of Shipment Conditions:
Monitoring of vibrations, strokes, container openings
or cold chain maintenance for insurance purposes.
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Reservation:
Locates the nearest charging station and tell the user
whether its in use. Drivers can ease their range anxiety
by reserving charging stations ahead of time.
11. Smart Industry
Tank level:
Monitoring of water, oil and gas levels in storage
tanks and cisterns.
Temperature Monitoring:
Control of temperature inside industrial and medical
fridges with sensitive merchandise.
Indoor Air Quality:
Monitoring of toxic gas and oxygen levels inside
chemical plants to ensure workers and goods safety
