ABSTRACT

This study aims to reduce power consumption by applying an intelligent IoT-based automatic control system to legacy air-conditioning and heating units without built-in IoT functionality. To achieve this, smart IoT control devices were installed on 24 legacy air-conditioning units located in public open shared office buildings. Among them, four units—installed in unassigned seating areas and meeting rooms with frequent user movement and the highest cooling and heating demand—were remotely and automatically controlled using (1) occupancy-based OFF control via motion detection sensors and (2) an AI office control mode to maintain optimal temperature. As a result, during the two-month demonstration period, power consumption was reduced by 231.159 kWh, achieving an approximately 13.56% reduction compared to the baseline power usage, thereby verifying the energy-saving effectiveness of the proposed system
