Nowadays, Internet of Things technology has garnered a great amount of interest because it can make our life much easier, convenient, and even safer. Internet of Things devices can be connected to the Internet or to each other whenever and wherever in order to collect, process, and share information to support various services. In order to provide useful support, important issues related to security, performance, and energy consumption have to be considered. For example, important personal information can be easily exposed to others because Internet of Things can be easily hacked; low performance and high energy consumption can limit the effectiveness of devices. These issues can be considered as quality factors that need to be met in order to develop software applications in the Internet of Things domain. Energy consumption is critical to provide sustained service within mobile and wireless environments. To this end, this article focuses on how to develop Internet of Things software that takes low energy consumption into account. In particular, we propose energy evaluation techniques that are based on a software architecture that is designed to use reusable components. By performing an experiment, we could verify that our proposing method shows maximum 6.83% of error rate against code-based energy simulation. Our technique can help software engineers to judge whether or not software is developed to satisfy the particular requirements related with energy consumption.

In smart cities and home applications, the use of Wireless Sensor Networks to extract environmental data becomes more common with the passing of time. These sensors are used for a wide array of applications, but mainly to manage energy consumption in domestic buildings. One of the key energy consumers in households is heating systems. To monitor them, sensors are used with wireless communication protocols, like ZigBee, to transmit data to a central processing unit (CPU). WiFi communications, on the contrary, are rarely seen in these implementations due to its high energy consumption, although almost in every home one can find such networks. Yet, with the Internet of Things (IoT), new revisions of the standard have arisen which enable this technology for wireless sensing. To validate this theory and fill a technological necessity, this proposal is presented. In this work, the design and implementation of an autonomous WiFi sensor, paired with thermoelectric energy harvesting, are presented as an IoT solution for monitoring heating devices. For this, a thorough analysis of the proposed architecture is presented. Tests regarding energy consumption and generation, efficiency, and real world scenario trials are done. Finalizing, a comparison between the obtained results and current implementations is shown.

Aiming at the current situation of complicated energy-consuming equipment and large energy consumption in the current enterprise, a reference model scheme of an enterprise energy efficiency management platform based on the Internet of Things is analyzed and the dynamically collected energy consumption information is analyzed using the Internet of Things technology and data mining technology. They provide decision-making support for enterprise energy efficiency management decisions and formulation of energy-saving and emission reduction plans. This article analyzes the current status of energy efficiency management in buildings and points out several pain points in energy efficiency management, including installation difficulties, high software development costs, upgrade difficulties, long debugging cycles, and closed systems, and introduces intelligent power distribution monitoring based on the Internet of Things technology to solve these difficulties. In the system, we analyze the actual value brought by energy efficiency management technology through case studies. It can collect scattered information through the Internet of Things, gather it together to form massive data, and obtain the corresponding information through data analysis and processing. The design is reasonable, the practicality is strong, the use effect is good, and it is easy to promote and use.

With the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, the energy consumption of service composition in the IoT environment is a key problem to be studied. At present, the problems of service composition in the IoT environment mostly focus on the evaluation research based on quality of service (QoS), ignoring the overall energy consumption in the process of dynamic configuration of service composition. Therefore, we construct the service composition structure for the IoT and propose the QoS evaluation model and energy evaluation model for the service composition in the IoT environment. Considering that the service composition in the Internet of things environment is NP hard, moth algorithm (MFO) is successfully applied to the QoS evaluation model and energy evaluation model. The simulation results reveal that MFO has good optimization effect in the abovementioned models, and the optimization effect of MFO is improved by 8% and 6% compared with the genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization, so as to realize the green energy strategic management of QoS composition in the environment of IoT.

The article analyzes the degree of implementation of information and communication technologies, in particular the Internet of Things in Europe at all levels, from individuals and households to large enterprises. An assessment of the regional distribution of internet use across European countries was performed to identify dependence between the pace of development and level of utilization of Internet of Things technology. The purpose of this study is to analyze the level of mastering of information and communication technologies by European citizens and enterprises, in particular the state of development and the level of application of the Internet of Things. In the course of the research, the methods of systematic and comparative analysis, statistical research and logical generalization were used. Based on the processing of European statistical reports, discrepancies were found between the degree of development of Internet of Things technologies, since the northern and western regions have a more developed technological base than the southern or eastern regions. Among private users of IoT technologies, technological solutions for managing the power consumption of a smart home are most popular, and among smart devices for connecting to the network, they most often choose to use the internet on a TV. The analysis of internet userbase indicates the existence of a divide in digital area, and its likely increase in the next few years, due to the gradual introduction of 5G Internet services. Based on the results of the analysis of the IT infrastructure of European enterprises, the most popular tools for applying Internet of things technology were identified. The analysis showed that European enterprises most frequently choose smart meters, smart lamps, and smart thermostats to optimize energy consumption in the premises of the enterprise among other devices and systems that can be monitored or remotely controlled via the Internet. It was found that large enterprises mostly used devices or systems to optimize energy consumption in the premises of the enterprise, and among medium and small enterprises, tools for optimizing logistics were most often used.
