Smart classroom energy management system and automatic attendance system using RFID technology: article / Nur Liyana Mohd Radzi

The increase of energy costs urged the need in minimizing the energy consumption. As significant amount of energy is used for lighting and air ventilation (air conditioning and fan) in educational buildings such as classrooms, improvements is needed to avoid energy waste for unoccupied classroom. The electrical energy will be controlled based on demand in order to save the energy costs. In addition, current practice for monitoring students' attendance by calling names or signing on paper have a few weaknesses such as time wasting and insecure. Hence this conventional method lead to inefficient record. RFID based attendance system is one of the solutions to solve the problem. This paper is about a concept of smart classroom energy efficient and automatic attendance system based on radio frequency identification (RFID) configuration.
