Abstract
This paper presents the design and development of an IoT-enhanced energy efficiency monitoring system aimed at supporting Green Campus accreditation through real-time environmental parameter tracking and automated alert mechanisms. The system employs a NodeMCU (ESP8266) microcontroller integrated with DHT11 sensors for continuous temperature and humidity monitoring, and MQ-2 sensors for detecting gas and smoke levels within the campus environment. Programmable thresholds are established for each parameter, and upon breach, the system triggers immediate notifications via the serial interface and captures a 3-second video footage of the affected area using an interfaced camera module. The video clip, along with sensor readings, is automatically transmitted as an email alert to a predefined receiver for remote verification and prompt action. Additionally, the system incorporates an automated report generation module that compiles timestamped sensor data into structured logs, facilitating transparent and verifiable documentation required for accreditation bodies such as NAAC and Green Campus certifications. By integrating real-time monitoring, visual verification, and automated reporting, the proposed solution enhances campus safety, optimizes energy consumption, and provides a scalable, low-cost framework for sustainable institutional infrastructure management.
