In this paper, we will show a prototype of a system designed based on Internet of Things solutions with the aim of optimizing electrical energy consumption in order to achieve desired conditions for the growth and development of plants located in the greenhouse. The physical parameters that this system monitors are temperature, relative humidity, soil humidity and luminescence levels. In this prototype, we have three measurement nodes with the task of collecting parameter data, processing them and sending resulting data, via wireless communication, to a receiver. The receiver forwards data to the application on PC. The application processes the data and displays it to the end user who can choose to automatically or manually control the devices that are inside of the greenhouse. Systems placed inside the greenhouse are heating, irrigation, lighting and ventilation systems.

<p>Energy consumption is a huge problem in Iraq, especially in government institutions. Many devices continue operating even after working hours. In this case study, by using IOT technology, we shall show it to be more efficient if we can control the main devices that are consuming a large amount of power.  Internet of things (IOT), therefore, is an exciting solution for managing energy consumption in Iraqi government buildings.</p><p>The proposed system has been designed to wake up the devices to start operating at 7:00 AM. 7:00 AM is the standard start of the working day in Iraq. In our proposed system, the case study has been taken based on the universities and institutions. In the universities and institutions, the working day ends at 8:00 PM. This is when our proposed system is designed to power off the main devices. In addition, after 8:00 PM and before 7:00 AM, if there is any device still in operation, the system will send a notification to the manager of the institution.</p><p>Our proposed system has been designed using Arduino mega as a main controller. Also, the module SIM800L GSM has been used to make the communication for notification cases, and the Relay 8 CH has been used as electronic switches for the devices.</p>

This study aims to apply the Internet of Things to monitoring electricity energy consumption. The system is designed to replace the manual and conventional measurement of electrical energy. Uncontrolled use of electricity is one of the causes of high levels of electrical energy consumption. Therefore, consumers need to know the amount of electrical energy consumption in real-time. The device is designed using the PZEM-004T which is used as a sensor to read electrical multi-parameter, Arduino as the main control, and ESP8266 as a data sender on the Cloud system. The test results showed that the device has been able to read and display electricity quantity data in the form of voltage, current, power, and electricity tariff accumulation in real-time displayed on the ThingSpeak platform. The test on the PZEM-004T sensor has an accuracy rate of 94.96% for reading current values and 99.42% for reading voltage values. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menerapkan teknologi Internet of Things pada monitoring konsumsi energi listrik. Sistem dirancang untuk menggantikan pengukuran energi listrik yang masih manual dan konvensional. Penggunaan listrik yang tidak terkontrol merupakan salah satu penyebab tingginya tingkat pemakaian energi listrik. Oleh karena itu, konsumen perlu mengetahui jumlah pemakaian energi listrik secara realtime. Alat dirancang menggunakan PZEM-004T yang digunakan sebagai sensor untuk membaca multi-parameter listrik, Arduino sebagai kendali utama, dan ESP8266 sebagai pengirim data pada sistem Cloud. Hasil pengujian menunjukan bahwa  alat telah mampu membaca dan menampilkan data besaran listrik berupa tegangan, arus, daya, dan akumulasi tarif listrik secara realtime yang ditampilkan pada platform ThingSpeak. Pengujian pada sensor PZEM-004T memiliki tingkat akurasi 94.96% untuk pembacaan nilai arus dan 99. 42% untuk pembacaan nilai tegangan.

Didik Ariwibowo, in this paper explain that energy audit activities conducted through several phases, namely: the initial audit, detailed audit, analysis of energy savings opportunities, and the proposed energy savings. Total energy consumed consists of electrical energy, fuel, and materials in this case is water. Electrical energy consumption data obtained from payment of electricity accounts for a year while consumption of fuel and water obtained from the payment of material procurement. From the calculation data, IKE hotels accounted for 420.867 kWh/m2.tahun, while the IKE standards for the hotel is 300 kWh/m2.tahun. Thus, IKE hotel included categorized wasteful in energy usage. The largest energy consumption on electric energy consumption. Largest electric energy consumption is on the air conditioning (AC-air conditioning) that is equal to 71.3%, and lighting and electrical equipment at 27.28%, and hot water supply system by 4.44%. Electrical energy consumption in AC looks very big. Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of the statutes, the profile of energy use by air conditioning at the hotel by 48.5%. With these considerations in the AC target for audit detail as the next phase of activity. The results of a detailed audit analysis to find an air conditioning system energy savings opportunities in pumping systems. Recommendations on these savings is the integration of automation on the pumping system and fan coil units (FCU). The principle of energy conservation in the pumping system is by installing variable speed drives (VSD) pump drive motor to adjust speed according to load on the FCU. Load variations FCU provide input on the VSD pumps to match. Adaptation is predicted pump can save electricity consumption up to 65.7%. Keywords: energy audit, IKE, AC

This paper provides a characterization of the electrical energy consumption of agrifood industries located in the central region of Portugal that use refrigeration systems to ensure the food safety. The study is based on the result analysis of survey data and energy characteristics of the participating companies belonging to the following agrifood sectors: meat, dairy, horticultural, distribution and wine. Through the quantification of energy consumption of companies is possible to determine the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions indexed to its manufacturing process. Comparing the energy and GHGs emissions indexes of companies of a sector and between sectors is possible to create reference levels. With the results of this work is possible to rating the companies in relation to reference levels of energy and GHGs emissions and thus promote the rational use of energy by the application of practice measures for the improvement of the energy efficiency and the reduction of GHGs emissions.
