ABSTRACT
At the University of Brunei Darussalam, we have designed and built a prototype smart home to monitor human activities to improve the energy efficiency and support elder people. In this paper we present some of our early work related to smart monitoring, control and communication along with a review of other related research initiatives by researchers around the world. Especially we looked at research work carried out in Singapore, Japan and New Zealand. Here our main objective was to look into research work that enhances energy efficiency and eldercare with the use of multitude of sensors. With our simple prototype implementation we have also demonstrated the use of smart home technologies to reduce energy consumption in an average house.
