Feasibility of UTS Smart Home to Support Sustainable Development Goals of United Nations (UN SDGs): Water and Energy Conservation

doi: 10.3390/su141912242
The Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations strive to maximize development needs, while minimizing environmental deterioration, without jeopardizing the needs of future generations. Nevertheless, due to urbanization, the escalating trend in natural-resource use, particularly electricity and water, is currently a crucial challenge for sustainable development. One of the promising options is the smart home, which is an extension of building automation with smart characteristics in monitoring, analyzing, controlling, and cloud computing with networked smart devices. Due to the lack of appropriate infrastructure and conscious consumption, its global adoption in the construction industry remains low. We present a technical feasibility of a multi-functional experimental smart home to support the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations in terms of water and energy conservation. The layered architecture of the cloud platform with an application program interface enables seamless integration of heterogeneous smart-home technologies and data sources. Use cases demonstrated its capacity to conserve electrical energy and water resources in support of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. Aside from that, the smart home’s electricity self-consumption of at least three autonomy days was confirmed with zero emissions and electricity bills, and a reduced supply-water consumption.
