Abstract
Nowadays, monitoring electricity and water usage is becoming very important to obtain consumption baselines towards establishing savings goals. Therefore, this work details the design and implementation of electricity and water monitoring networks installed to monitor electricity and water consumption at three research and academic buildings of Instituto Politécnico Nacional. Internet of Things is also implemented as it allows the systems to send the gathered information to the cloud using an Internet connection for analysis purposes. The main objective of this development is to have an electricity and water usage data repository and visualization tool to make users aware of these resources consumptions and then make changes in the infrastructure that will produce better usage and savings. This design included the installation of electricity and water consumption meters. Also, data concentrators are used to send the information obtained from the meters to monitoring software. A technical memory was documented, demonstrating the components and activities carried out in each monitoring point—finally, the collected data allowed to estimate the electricity and water consumption baselines on the considered instances. As the main objective, all the information gathered will form a baseline on which improvement and political proposals will be generated to implement saving actions on energy and water handling in these buildings.
