Project Summary

This project illustrates and demonstrates the effective implementation of IoT (Internet of Things) used for monitoring and controlling office appliances through Internet. Additionally, the system will also monitor number of visitors inside the office and accordingly control the electrical appliances to avoid excessive usage of electricity which results in less polluting and greener environment. Whenever the resources are consumed more than the visitors then either user can manage through Smartphone or System can manage the resources. Office automation provides sustainable workspace for the employees.

Project Objectives

The project aims to introduce the smarter versions of the buildings and architectural models, either commercial or residential. The goal of the project is to make a more efficient, eco-friendly and energy saving system of a building. Many modern day buildings may have an appealing architecture and state of the art interiors but these buildings are weak at a very specific yet important point, the energy wastage. Our design proposes to reduce the power consumption in a way that neither the consumer’s routine nor ease gets affected nor the energy is unnecessarily wasted. This design uses multiple sensors and actuators which will be continuously providing the necessary information to the client as well as the service providers using multiple softwares and servers, and the system of the building will be running a diagnostic check every proposed period of time for maintenance purposes. The overall output of the project is a building management system which generates its own electricity using the natural and the most abundant energy source of the planet, the solar energy. This building saves unnecessary power wastage and comforts the consumers to its best with not only its intelligent automation but also allows them to control their space through their personal smart phones. The real time monitoring for this system allows the building to run self diagnostics for up to date maintenance.

Project Implementation Method

In this project we proposed the solution for the three things mentioned above by using equipment like ultra-sonic sensor 7805, flame sensor, nodeMCU, gas sensor, 4 channel relay, 2 channel relay, float switch, AM2320 temperature and humidity, flow sensor, pump12V. Arduino software is used for Arduino coding to monitor the office, display the output in serial monitor and send the sensed data to the Android Application which can be monitored by manager & security people 
For the water system we took two tanks, one is the main tank (upper tank) and the other is base tank (lower tank). We then glued two float switches for the water level detection of the both tanks. The flow sensor is attached to main input which sense the pulses that tells how many liters has passed through it and then as soon as water reaches to float switch it sends the signal that the water level has reached to required level and the water starts filling in the main tank. Secondly we worked on fire emergency system in which we used smoke/gas sensor (MQ 2) that will detect any kind of smoke or gas coming from atmosphere that will in return give fire alert. This will then turn on the sprinkler and siren. Lastly we did some work on HVAC. We used a temperature sensor (DHT11) which helps to detect the temperature and humidity
As soon as the certain temperature is reached (e.g temperature increases) the DC ventilation gets turned on which is connected to relay.

Benefits of the Project

Smart buildings have best temperature and humidity controls exclusive the building, because purposes of BMS can be seen that it is a standard procedure to preserve a specific fever in a building by supervisory the cooling and heating, which is done by a fan or ventilation. Moreover we aim to provide solar power for uninterrupted system. So even when there is no light there will be no hindrance in security monitoring. Other things includes wastage management, smart parking access, fire alarm system, smart door lock system and smart lights. Water crises are faced in every third world country so how about automate water pump to run when water is coming and automatically stop when tank is full so no single drop of water wastes. Moreover we aim to provide solar power for uninterrupted system. So even when there is no light there will be no hindrance in security monitoring. Other things includes wastage management, smart parking access, fire alarm system, smart door lock
system and smart lights , smart elevators, monitoring all the functions on the cloud, controlling and monitoring through a mobile app.
