RESIDENTIAL COLLEGE ENERGY SAVING AUTOMATIC LIGHTING SYSTEM

The residential college uses a lot of electricity since it is the place where students
reside during the academic semester. The current lighting system in the residential
area does not efficiently uses electricity as they are operated manually. This
causes waste as some of the time lights are not switched off for a long time. To
solve this problem, an Automatic Lighting System is a unique approach by
combing both daylight sensing and also motion sensing to reduce the time lights
are used. The project shows how the system will operate when applied. Estimated
electrical energy consumption is calculated to show how much money is spent
with the current manual lighting system and also with the Automatic Lighting
System. By the end of the project, it is approximated that the Automatic Lighting
System saves up to 90% in costs.
