01.01 Décrivez votre startup en détail

Green buildings prioritize resource efficiency, better lighting, and ventilation compared to conventional buildings. Efficient lighting systems are crucial for energy conservation, as lights left on in unoccupied areas result in energy loss. Manual switches often lead to lights being left on unnecessarily. The "Automatic Room Light Controller with Control Access Visitor Counter" (ARLC-CAVC) project addresses this by combining automatic room light control and visitor counting. The system adjusts lighting based on occupancy, turning off lights when rooms are unoccupied, and tracks the number of people entering and exiting, minimizing electricity wastage. This is particularly beneficial for spaces with fluctuating occupancy, like classrooms and offices The ARLC-CAVC system uses occupancy sensors, lighting controls, access control mechanisms such as RFID readers or biometric scanners, and data communication modules for transmitting information to a central server of cloud platform.
