A case study on effective consumption of energy using sensor based switching system

Energy is very important in the entire process of evolution, growth and survival of the world. The increasing energy demand has an adverse effect on the environment and also an increasing pressure for a government. For a developing country like India, the energy criterion decides the growth of the country. Being the third largest power producer in the world, energy demand and scarcity rules the country. Energy demand in our country is increasing exponentially. Energy conservation can be the best solution for the raising energy demand. Energy conservation is reducing the energy consumption by using less of an energy service. One of the important ways of to improve the energy conservation is energy audit. Energy conservation without compromising the usage is a great task. The paper focuses on the importance of energy conservation by considering the loads of a class room of an educational institution and considering the energy consumed by the present loads and recommending energy efficient appliances and an efficient yet simple sensor based model to reduce the energy consumption and comparing the results.
