Abstract

Present scenario of  energy crisis  not only demands to increase  generation of energy  but  also  to  utilize  it  as per legitimate requirement to conserve  at public places like educational institutes, where the users are more  and  no one  cares to switch  OFF appliances when not required. The aim of this project is to design cost effective automated system which can be easily incorporated in academic institution especially in the class rooms to conserve the energy. Lights and fans switched ON and OFF as per requirement for number of students entered in the class room through person counting subsystem. The implementation is made simpler by using sensor to detect person and compact circuitry built around 8051 microcontroller programs. Through this system, the author wishes to inculcate discipline in the students by giving no option but to occupy the front row first and so on and back benchers to come in front and then only have the comfort of light and fan and at the same time want to help academic institutes to save money on their power bills and contribute in reducingthe emission of green house gases in environment.
