Abstract
Various organizations have reported that buildings (among them, educational institutions) are responsible for the consumption of 40% or more of all the primary energy produced worldwide. The control of temperature and lighting in said institutions is carried out manually. That means that every time a classroom is used, people must turn on lights and air conditioners, and then take care of turning them off whenever they are not required. Faced with this scenario, the alternative proposed in this work allows efficient automatic control of lighting and temperature preferences for each professor and each class.
That is why a Prototype of Classroom Energetically Efficient was built in this paper. It has three modules: The one is the web application that was developed using the Laravel framework for the backend and Vuejs for the frontend. Its main function is to send commands to devices. The second is the IoT framework, which fulfills the function of communicating the web application with the hardware, providing the necessary endpoints, and making the registered data available. And finally, the hardware that was built using NodeMCU ESP8266 boards. Its function is to be an actuator i.e. receive the data from the IoT framework and executes commands. We also build a classrom mockup to show the prototype in action.
Also, the performance tests of different scenarios were carried out, being satisfactory, and allowing the development of the planned functionalities.
