Near-Zero-Energy Building Management Based on Arduino Microcontroller—On-Site Lighting Management Application

Near-Zero-Energy Buildings are a challenge in terms of energy production, storage, consumption and management, but these technological solutions remain financially difficult to access developing countries. To this end, complete low-cost reliable home energy-management prototype was first developed implemented on scale model. A PWM charge controller drove the flow produced consumed order ensure optimization both savings. Battery storage also managed by automation module using set sensors. The model incorporated management all electrical devices with group priorities through graphical interface real-time mode. After testing system, lighting part large-scale smart solar home. system via algorithm integrated an Arduino Mega board then realized life-size house. This step focuses, above all, users’ comfort and, particular, management. results show that device thus makes it possible achieve additional savings essential yet already energy-efficient device: lighting.
