Illuminance monitoring and control system for green building with wireless sensor networks

Abstract

Currently, electrical lightings accounts for approximately 20% of global power consumption. If such huge amount of power consumption can be reduced while not affecting the human population's productivity, then the amount of capitals and natural resources required can be significantly reduced. However, green solutions is not something new anymore in this age where conservations in resources has gained its spot among the priortized goals in corporate and organizations. Hence, to remain competitive, newer or greener solutions with advanced technologies are constantly being developed to complement current practices in creating greener structures.
