IoT based smart office application for advanced indoor working environment and energy efficiency

Abstract

Internet of Things is a complex network, consisting of many elements that communicate with each other constantly. The network includes various modules, sensors, and computers etc. which constantly share data with each other, and carry out independent actions. The system may include interfaces connecting the users to the system, such as mobile apps and websites. In our vision, a 'Smart Office' is an office which knows or can determine office users' needs, and acts according to this knowledge. Our main goal is to design an office which will make independent decisions to maintain optimal office environment. These decisions will be made according to manually set user preferences and sensor readings. With our smart office system, we are aiming to provide flexible and energy efficient working environment to the users.
