Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is applied to many cases on the topic of smart cities. In the scope of this paper, we apply a flexible IoT-Developed platform, using LoRa communication, applied to university auditoriums in order to try and find patterns and/or anomalies in energy consumption and in the interior temperature. This platform enables the interested parties to monitor the energy consumption of lighting, of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) and if electrical plugs alongside the monitoring of temperatures, aiming to create a report about the efficient, the thermal insulation and the HVAC behavior. Based on the acquired information, a management strategy is applied to find that the lack of certain systems leads to an extreme waste of energy and the lack of proper cleaning procedures can lead to decreasing the efficiency of the HVAC.
