Teaching Scenarios for Reducing the School's Energy Footprint Using the Internet of Things
Abstract
In this paper, two STEM teaching scenarios using the Internet of Things are described. The measurement of the energy footprint of a school was selected from the applications of the IoT, with the aim of having the students adopt specific attitudes and behaviors. The first scenario is aimed at avoiding unnecessary switching on of the lighting in the rooms to reduce electricity consumption, and the second at avoiding unnecessary opening of the windows for more efficient operation of the school's central heating. In both scenarios, the circuits are designed and implemented based on Arduino and the use of appropriate sensors. By using these technologies the school becomes Smart and Sustainable. It should be noted that the scenarios’s implementation is pending.
