Abstract

“Internet of Things” (IoT) is a buzzword in today’s world. Through IoT, we can connect millions of devices together and control them through Internet. This chapter talks about strategies for implementing green IoT through awareness-based approach. The exchange of huge amount of data among IoT sensors connected device will create a big energy need. Energy efficiency of IoT devices is a great concern as huge number of sensors may consume a lot of energy. This chapter talks about strategies for implementing green IoT by creating awareness among users. The author discusses various ways of conducting awareness campaigns and building insight into users about the necessity of energy savings. This book chapter discusses implementing smart meters to get frequent energy reading as well as indications about over usage. Smart sensors in the meters will alert the user once the usage crossed beyond specified limit. Being monitored is the best way to regulate the usage. The information being sensed by the IoT sensors can be utilized for better decision-making leading to energy conservations. Displaying statistics of current energy usage and future energy needs will make people aware of energy conservation and motivate them to stop energy wastage to a great extent.
